I've never been to the statue of liberty either. I thought it got closed down after 9/11.
Have you been to the Museo del Barrio? Or the Frick Collection? Or the JP Morgan Library? Or the Tenement Museum? Or The TV and Radio Museum?
I've never been to New York, so I'm not help. I was going to go just before NoirCon, but now, I'm not so sure. Have a wonderful time!
I was just in New York and had a fabulous dinner at Angelo's on Mulberry street ("Since 1908!"). I wish I could have a real trip to New York some day instead of a few hours here or there in between working.
Thanks, Steven. I'm dying to see the Tenement Museum. That's tops on the list. Never saw TV and Radio either.
I think we've covered all the art museums so these are great ideas. We went to Museo del Bario last March and saw a terrific play there about Vietnam. Really a nice museum.
Angelo's. Perfect. New York is plenty fun. I thought we might move there after retirement till we had a grandchild. Now I couldn't leave him.
Patti,
I'll be at Backspace. Will look for you there.

Thanks, Terrie. Glad for a friendly face. I may be the one limping if my sprained ankle isn't gone by then.
Have fun at Backspace. Wish I could make it.
Stepehn-I will take copious notes and share any info I pick up.
