12/14 Will be visting family in NY for Xmas with the spousal unit . Would
like reccomendations for stuff to do in NYC where we will be not
be crushed by tourists.We are both in our late 30's w/o kids.
Thanks.
\_ WOW. I can't believe you're asking this question. Just get a
regular NYC guide book and you'll be overwhelmed. It really
depends on what you like. If you like museums (natural museum
is cool if you like science/evolution), musicals, comedy,
concerts, FOOD FOOD FOOD, and whatever the city has to offer
to sophisticated conurbanites you'll love NYC. If you like
the country-side and to hike and camp out, it's the wrong
place to go to. Good luck.
\- nyc has decent theather every night of the week. look at half
price tickets for example. look at "around town" section of the
nyker and "time out". again the more specific a question you ask
[restaurants, music, museums, culture, social outings] the better
answer you are likely to get. people who might be interested in
going to the Cloisters might not be the same people interested
in powershopping.
\_ This is a fine time to catch an opera at the Met. Consider scouring
http://craigslist.org for tickets. Also, the Metropolitan Museum is worth
a day by itself.
\_ Eat at Don Peppe's, 13558 Lefferts Blvd. between 135th Ave and
149 Ave, Jamaica, NY. The baked clams, linguini marinara, and
linguini with clam sauce are phenomenal. This is near JFK if
you're flying in to there. -dans

\_ Go to the ballet. There is nothing like it outside of NY in the
US, maybe the world. I always go when they (ABT or NYC Ballet)
go on tour. It would be great to see them in NYC.
