sit around in. Some people think it's great. I think it's weird. And all the stores are these mega "spend tons of money on useless things" stores.

It's kind of gross. It seems mall-like.

district, the Museum Mile, cool Brooklyn neighborhoods like Greenpoint.

In my twenties, three friends and I would meet for brunch every Sunday, and we would never be able to agree on what to do for the day, so we'd just get on a bus or a subway and ride it till we were in a neighborhood that looked interesting. Then we'd get out and spend the day in that neighborhood. It was never a bad day.

Enjoy your trip. Let us know where you go.

Miss NYC..... Grew up in northern NJ, but visited my grandparents every Sunday who lived on the Grand Coursecourse....a couple blocks south of Yankee Stadium. Been away from the area for many years.....27 to be exact...... and I miss it. Such a vibrant area. Love the Seattle area though. Don't miss the snow at all!!!!!!

just breathed history. We were there for the last game of the Worlds Series when the Yanks beat Atlanta. At the last pitch, the pot lit up everywhere around us. And, people were jumping on cars outside. You can not create history.

what's next? The one about Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter are on an airplane? He brings as much relevance to the conversation as Justin Bieber. Why don't we just ask him what he thinks. Apparently he's being held at a NJ airport right now. That qualifies him to comment, right? His opinion would be just as valuable as Rudy's. That's of no value at all!

moved the NYC emergency command center to the Twin towers... then cashed-in on the deaths of thousands...
Well I just don't think too much substance lies in : "...a noun, a verb and 9-11."
