MULAN50... you are so nice!
I am blown away by the kindness on this board. We travel on March 23, and will be staying at the Hotel Vetiver (Long Island City.) They tell me it's one block to the subway, and less than 20 to downtown Manhattan.
On our 3rd day, DS has a tour of the USMMA, and I'll just do some more sightseeing. I like the many choices available afterward... Hopefully he will come away impressed with King's Point. After that it's off to USCGA and West Point for a quick look.
As for NYC plans, we hope to check in at hotel, park, and subway into NYC day one. Might take a night tour.
The second day we will go to town early and try to take it all in. I thought about trying t take him to a TV or game show, but not sure how easy that would be.
Broadway show would be fun. Suggestions without breaking the bank? I thought about the Tom Hanks play... but good tickets are $180 plus $41 to purchase each ticket on-line REALLY!!!???
As for restaurants, we'd like the best pizza we could find, maybe a great hot dog place, Italian, etc.
Looking forward to it all.
