A ride on the Staten Island Ferry offers great views of the NY harbor including the S of Liberty, takes about 25 minutes one way, and its free (or so says the online info).

any good suggestions for us (ie the kids- 5 & 8)

and what should we wear? I'm thinking layers as it looks like warm/temperate days and cool evenings at the mo ps don't bother recommending sneakers- it ain't happening!!

My favorite things:

~ Going on top the Empire State Building at night

~ Going to Serendipity for Frozen Hot Chocolate (yes, the very same place in the John Cusack movie)

~ Walking through Central Park and hanging out at Bethesda Fountain (and the Strawberry Fields circle—memorial to John Lennon)

~ Checking out shops and cafes and Italian bakeries in the Village (and seeing the mural of Joe Strummer)

~ Grand Central Station

~ Seeing a Broadway show

~ Ray's Pizza——-for GOT'S SAKE don't miss eating Ray's Pizza

There are several locations all over Manhattan.

~ Hanging out with rachlan!

I'll probably think of more ... so much to do, so little time when in NYC.
