Something different

I%26#39;m in exactly the same boat right down to the number of times I%26#39;ve been.

I walked round Brooklyn last time and went to Coney Island as well. So, like the original poster, I%26#39;d be keen for any suggestions.

Something different

I know exactly what you mean, it was really nice to take a day off and go to Woodbury this time (even uf it did bucket it down, but I did buy a great tUMI umbrealla though)

If you have the cash Greyline do day trips to Philedelphia, Washington and Niagra (first 2 by train and last one by air)

They%26#39;re not pennies but we%26#39;re looking at them when we come back at xmas

Have a look on their website

Thanks all, will give brooklyn a try and maybe niagara falls too!

We had a blast at formerly the Musuem of Television %26amp; Radio and now the Paley Center for Media www.mtr.org

A few things on the list for my next visit are the Tenement Museum, the Cloisters and seeing the NYC panorama up at the Queens Museum.

If you do a search on any of these on the TA forums you%26#39;ll get more info.

Also, on my last visit I did the NY Accomplice experience - a great and unusual way to spend an afternoon in NYC.
