[QUOTE="klmno, post: 260792, member: 3699"] Oh, lucky you!! If I win the lottery, I am headed back to NYC very soon! I have taken difficult child to both these places for "mini-vacations" and we both had a great time. Usually, what I have done is to see the typical tourist places first (what can be seen in a short allotted amount of time), then leave down time to play it by ear after we are there. In NYC, walking around Times Square was great for us. There were street vendors with artwork to look at and street musicians. We went in a few shops and had our photo put on a billboard for a min or so. We saw a Broadway play. Greenwich Village is supposed to be a good area to visit during the day if you like artsy things and people, but I didn't take difficult child there. There is a nice park area in the vicinity of the boat that takes you over to the Statue of Liberty. Oh- I thought Ellis Island was a neat place to visit. difficult child loved Chinatown- I didn't because I kept getting an eery feeling that many sweat shops were surrounding us. I had a couple of friends who had gone before- one particularly said the textile district (I think it is called) was a GREAT place to buy fabric. The cost is apparently very good and there are supposed to be tons of patterns that you would never find at home. I had wanted to search for a unique fabric to have draperies made for my living room, but didn't make it there. Wash. Difficult Child- we loved just taking a walking tour of the mall to visit whichever museums caught both of our attention. The Holocaust Museum is supposed to be very good, but difficult child was too young for that, I thought. I would like to see it. Arlington Cemetary was worthwhile. It depends on what you are into- there's a ton of night life and other things to see. I'd suggest an internet search to get an idea and then narrow down according to the types of things you both are interested in. [/QUOTE]
