You should. This is a pretty cool place.



Just do me a favor. If you stop to stare at a building, don't stand smack dab in the middle of the sidewalk! :



Other than that, we love tourists!


(I could always give you a list of things that are cool to do here if you ever decide to visit).

I've visted NYC twice and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I used to have family that lived in Morristown, NJ and when visiting them we could ride the train into the city,

I've also been to Albany and Buffalo.

Brooklynites don't go that far north. Like I said, the Bronx is pushing it!

The scale of NYC is amazing it's not like any other place I've ever been.

I saw a couple of plays and went to the Metroploitan Museum of Fine Art, and did a few other things. We didn't spend a whole lot of time in NYC. I'd like to go back sometime now that I'm older and I'd have more control over where I wen and what I saw.

I must say that going to the top of the Statue of Liberty is not that much fun. I thought the top of the pedastal was a better place to see from. Ellis Island is pretty neat though.

Oh and my trips to Albany and Buffalo were both for work. I didn't get to see very much of either place.

I must admit that Albany is sure better than FL in July.

But I won't be in a hurry to spend another week in Bufalo during Jan. At least I got to see a hockey game on that trip.

[IcePrincessKRS]

haha Yeah, Buffalo gets MAJOR lake effect snow!

I think they said they were haveing a warm snap while I was there. The highs were right about freezing almost all week. That was until the last night I was there when a cold front came in and the wind was howling in off the lake. I was stuck gassing up my rental car at 5 AM at a gas station that didn't have the catches on the pump so I had to hold it the handle the whole time. That wouldn't have been a problem if my glove wasn't so bulky that I had to take it off to keep the pump on.

Hmm, I don't know if we can even go up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty anymore.

I haven't been there in years.

If you want to see a great view, you have to go to the observation deck in the Empire State Building!

Yeah, that sounds about right! Alot of places don't have the pump-lock-tab up there (which is crazy, you'd think it would be the one place that you'd desperately WANT it to be!).
