Me and the lady-friend are going to rent ****ty hybrids in Manhattan on Friday and check out the city. She wants to check out cool shops and buy records, body jewelery, and that type of stuff. We are planning to just wander around SoHo and the Village for a while then eat in Central Park and go to a loft show in the evening. Is there anything I should make a point of checking out?

Is traffic going to be crazy because it's the day after Thanksgiving?
