Too Much Excitement!

[Kimmifunn]

I remember only $8 Budweisers in NYC, and while I'm a museum freak, I'd skip the Met. For us freaks, it would take a good week to absorb it all, and any less time would leave you feeling like you were rushed. I've been to NYC only a few times, and I've done both extremes from the planned out minute by minute tour, to the opposite, having no plans at all, and just hanging out on the streets for the entire trip. Of course the hanging out part included spontaneous trips into interesting restaurants and stores, along with just wandering around the City. I would never again do the planned tour if I had the choice.

Totally. You just get lost in there.

You should go see the Friends apartment on Bedford and Bleecker and the Cosby house on Leroy. Then you'd be right in my hood.

I wouldn't DARE show my face 'round here without pictures! RO would have me blackballed!

Agreed. That's the way to do it.

I'm all about the wandering. That's really what we did last time I was there. However, I was with a resident who knew where to wander so I feel the need to plan the wandering.

Loved the Friends and Cosby info.

As for the Met, I'll defer that decision to my friend, since I've been there. What about the M of Modern Art, the M of Natural History, and the Guggie?

St. Marks Place is good looking around territory. also, the pink teacup on the other side of town. staten island ferry is one of the best deals in town.

Not sure exactly when you will be there....but 9/30/07 HAZMAT modine is playing at the Brooklyn Chile Festival @ 2:00. Look them up on myspace. some great music if you feel like detouring out to Crooklyn.

Museum of Natural History. I could spend a whole week there. Have you seen "Night at the Museum"? I can't wait to go back after seeing this movie and imagine the exhibits coming to life!

I will, in fact, be there on the 30th. On the list. Your music is always so fun...

My thought exactly. I just watched it over the weekend!

The MONH is that big that you could easily spend a week there and still not see everything.

I'm jealous, too! Never been, but if you do take a cab, make sure you only take minivan taxis and look for Ben Bailey in the CASH CAB!!
