A Pilgrimage... to New York City

[CanadianCowboysFan]

The general things: Rockefeller Center for the tree, Saks 5th ave windows across the street (get some candied peanuts from the street vendors there - they are so delicious!)

If you can hit the Museum of Natural History, I always think that's worth the trip. The Intrepid Sea/Air/Space museum on the West Side Highway is great, also.

Empire State Building can be a bit of a wait, but the view is spectacular and really something to see if you don't get there often.

There are always nice options to eat in the city. You might want to look over http://www.urbanspoon.com/c/3/New-York-restaurants.html for the area you're staying in.

Museum of Natural History is worth it, mostly just the dinosaur floor though, the stuffed animals and Indian floors are not anything different from other museums.

I was there in the summer and didn't do the Empire State Building, I went up the Rockefeller and the views were pretty decent even though it was a cloudy day.

Gotta go to the Statue of Liberty too

If you get on the subway be sure to wear a back pack. New Yorkers love them. :laugh1:

You might as well push him onto the subway tunnel tracks yourself.
