Heading to NYC Tuesday. Staying in Times Square. Here is part of our itinerary. Daughter going to American Doll store to have a hair day and eat with her American Doll - Samantha. While wife and daughter are there, my son and I will head to see the new Batman movie. Son picked Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty. We will do a duck tour while out and about. Wife picked the play du jour - HAIRSPRAY. Daughter takes the next pick and decides we will go to the park Friday and see Hannah Montana (GOOD LUCK!!!). So I finally get to pick something. Yankees vs. A's on Saturday. Third base line, 2 rows from the dirt. (Think that I will ask A-Rod about Madonna while waiting for the game to start). I'll probably play 3 card monte - I figure that I've gotten good at reading cards from EPC. I think I'll probably clean up on this game. Any suggestions for dinner/entertainment with a 10 and 15 year old? |

Take a ride down to Little Italy for some Italian, if you are adventerous Italian in the Bronx in the Fordhbam Rd area is better, Rock might know. Southstreet seAport is a good place to eat with family. Watch out in Times Square, The Naked Cowboy has been on 45th street and Broadway almost every day lately. Johns Pizzeria on 44th between 7/8th is good for the family, and right near times square and the theatres. http://www.lovetoeatandtravel.com/site/us/...ns_pizzeria.htm 45th between 5/6th is the site of the infamous Mad/stock/Rock Grid meeting and has the Irish Bars and Pubs as does 44th. Nike Store on 57th? is fun to go to. CAN i MAKE A REQUEST. PLEASE DO NOT STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK AND LOOK UP IN TIMES SQ. EVERY NIGHT ITS A FRIGGIN OBSTACLE COURSE AS I LEAVE MY OFFICE ON 47TH ST AND CUT RIGHT THROUGH TSQUARE HOPE THIS HELPED |

Great - Cannot wait to be in the middle of times square and look up. I think I can see the top of the buildings if I stand and look long enough. Thanks for the pizza tips. Kids love pizza. Keep the suggestions coming. |

I might suggest going all the way downtown and checking out Wall Street. It may soon only be a memory. Don't be afraid of the cops in full gear (including HUGE automatic weapons), they are there to help you. Just don't get too close. Rosie's....yes, check out the guy in the green sweater....he just always seems to be there. |

LOL - When we went on a cruise 3 years ago, when going into Mexico, my son was terrified at the border patrol with their weapons out. He just knew they were going to start shooting. I told him to start running so we could see what would happen. |

On arrival day - saw the singing cowboy. He is very close to our hotel - The Doubletree. Around 5, when I was looking up at all the tall buildings, my daughter asked if the people from NY always waved with their middle fingers extended. She said they were very polite. We had mexican at the cancun. It was very good. Walked Central Park and missed Strawberry Fields. Will have to try to find it again. Got tix to Mama Mia, and will try for a show tonite from tkts. Daughter and wife off to American Girl. My son and I will go to a music store and drool over some guitars. The Doubletree is very nice, with good sized suite/bedroom combo. The hot cookies are to kill for. I'll update later, need recommendations for dinner tonite. MARS 2112??? - Is it too hokey??? Have a great day. |

Actually, tonight is the live game. You're a tourist, always have extra cash on you....Brooklyn, East 9th Street between Ave. P and Quentin. Just wondering what kind of a crazy you are. You make plans to travel on the week of the PMBO? Have you no life? If you're looking for Stock's place......follow your nose, check for old and creaky buildings.....look for people walkng around in a daze that have a stamp on their foreheads saying MORON. |

Haha. That's what the process server said. Unfortunately, I don't have a front door. Something about always wanting me to be under surveillance....these dam "luxury hotels". |
