Just got back from NYC (first time, weekend trip). Saw Empire State bld, WTC, Wall St., Statue of Liberty, Soho, MOMA, just to name a few. Stayed in Times Square. Ate terrific food. Saw Chicago. Walked my ass off.
I was impressed. I've been to Seattle, LA, SanFran, SanAntonio, Dallas. But NYC is unbelievable! So many things to do and see and eat! Talk to your concierge at the hotel. They can hook you up with the best restaraunts. The subway is awesome. Wish I could commute here in Boise on one. Alas, we are small. The musicians are fun to watch (street/subway).
We were tourists, but by the end of the trip, other tourists were asking us how to get places, and we knew the directions. HA!
