Escape from New York
Tomorrow I begin the long bus ride to New York City to see my littlest brother sing at Carnegie Hall. It will be approximately 24 hours before I can escape the great monstrous steel and concrete midden that is New York.
So... what should I do while I'm waiting for the concert? Suggestions appreciated. Are there sights worth the seeing in the Horrible Apple? Should I just bring a book?

I require a dance of intellect. Put on your thinking shoes!
Dance with us, LRR! Dance with us into oblivion!
Do not question me! I control your arms!

I'm just this side of broke. Catching a play sounds interesting, but probably too expensive.
A deli might be interesting. I'm told there's a relatively cheap but quality restaurant within Macy's, wherein I will probably be dragooned into 'shopping' for too long.

For the money issue, that's what TKTS booths are for. Their website is http://www.tdf.org/TDF_ServicePage.aspx?id=56/.

I think the Pokemon Center was replaced by the Nintendo Store. I want to go there. Apparently they have the Gameboy that still works despite some pretty nasty damage received during the Gulf War. I still have a Gameboy that was on a US Carrier during Desert Storm and Shield.NachoManLance wrote:blackdragontaz wrote:You don't have to be 7 to enjoy pokemon or want novlety items.

In a Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Plaza, first floor. It is epic

When I was there last year, the entire first floor was devoted to Pokemon in nearly every way, shape and form (or region). It seemed to me that it was still there, just with a generic Nintendo store on top of it. Either way I didn't mind, I got my overpriced Yoshi plushie and Nintendo baseball cap.

Well, the "real Deli" restaurant we found charged $9.99 for three eggs, $3.95 for a chocolate chip cookie, and had a $12.50 minimum per person. When we noticed that the menu proudly proclaimed the establishment could hold parties of 300 when the notice just inside the kitchen door listed the maximum occupancy at 158, we left.
We found a nice Italian place on 8th and W 57th that made a delicious, gigantic pizza for $13.
Seeing the bro perform at Carnegie was quite impressive... although the families of the choir kept applauding in-between the movements. The conductor kept holding up his hand to get them to stop, but I don't think they understood.
In fairness, I started (very quietly) clapping myself when they first started - out of habit, I think. The musicians looked very peeved.
