What can't I miss in New York City

Yavanna · 12-20-2005, 07:13 AM

I'm planning a visit to NYC next year, with a group of friends - none of us have visited before.

We comprise one person who shops until she drops, one who loves art and culture, one who hates musicals and a 14 year old who wants to do whatever's coolest.

Any tips on the must-sees ?

Statue of Liberty
Shopping on 5th
Zabars deli
Museums
Central Park zoo (Whatch out for red pandas)
If its still winter skating at Rockerfeller centre or Wollman (sic) rink Central park
Brunch at the Inn on the Park
Broooklyn Bridge
Chrysler Building (IMO the most beautiful skyscraper ever)
Central Park generally
Battery park (often overlooked)
Staten Island Ferry

Is Zabars still there?

Do you think if I combined looking at Tiffanys windows whilst eating pizza I'd get moved on ?

Thanks guys

Why is Zabars deli on the list ? Isn't a deli a deli ? Or is that blasphemy to deli-goers ?

Mind you, I've always fancied breezing into a deli and ordering a pastrami on rye, hold the pickles. There's just never an opportunity to say that in the UK.

You've got to try pastrami on rye! It should be with swiss cheese and some nice strong mustard.

Oh Yav.....when you do go to Zabar's, you'll understand, and hopefully bite your own tongue for saying "Isn't a deli a deli?" At least, if you have an iota of appreciation for the finer things in life!

Seriously, they aren't kidding, go to Zabar's.

I hear the subway tunnels are full of interesting surprises.
