New York State of Mind
September 07, 2005
I've finally hit a bit of a lull in work today, so I figured I'd try to get something written here. The main thing I'm writing about is my big vacation this year.
I mentioned it briefly earlier this year, but if you don't recall, I'm going to New York City in a couple weeks. This is my first trip to the Big Apple, by the way, and I love the East Coast and big cities so I'm really excited. It's going to be great.
I know how overwhelming the city can be, especially to first-timers like me, so I'm making a list of everything I'm going to do while I'm there. I certainly plan on doing all of the typical tourist stuff like the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Guggenheim, the Met, the MoMA, Central Park, etc., but is there anything else that you know that I need to hit? Try to steer away from the usual stuff because I already know about it and it's already on the list.
The kind of things I'm interested in are the off-the-beaten-path types as well as any tips . For instance, I have a friend who told me to go the Seaport Station Tkts booth (for Broadway tickets) instead of the one in Times Square. Apparently you can walk right up to the one at Seaport, as opposed to waiting hours at the one in Times Square.
