However, if your stomach won't ... heh... STOMACH that...(groan) then find your way down to Century 21 across the street from the World Trade Centre site. It's where Colin & Stacey very frequently take people shopping on What Not to Wear. Go have pizza at Lombardi’s in little Italy.

There are larger "mainstream" designer stores but also a lot of great little boutiques. For cheap shopping, go to the Lower East Side, adorable boutiques and a little less pricey than soho. And don't miss the public library. The architecture alone is worth the trip. Also, hello, I'm Kara and have been lurking around for a bit so I thought I'd pop in with some info on my fave city.

I found some neat boutiques and restaurants and met some interesting people that way. Mind you, it was 20-25C most of that week (crazy warm October weather) so I was lucky that way. Even the one rainstorm had warm rain. MoMA was awesome. If you go to one museum, go there. They even let you take photos.

Of course, if you go see "Dirty Dancing: The Musical", I'll have to set some Russian spammers on you. I’ve only been there once, but this is my favourite spot:

And I'm a Yankee fan so going to Yankee stadium was incredible, and it's going to be torn down soon so if you're at all into baseball heritage (or just taking the subway into Brooklyn ...) I would suggest going for a walk around the outside. I love to go up things and look down when I’m travelling, so I loved the Empire State building.

Half price or less for last minute seats on first run shows. Absolutely fantastic. I saw "Rent" for $30 (5 years ago, but rumor has it, it's still about the same.) ...and say hi to my roommates girlfriend. She also flies to New York tomorrow morning. :) If you want to see a Broadway show, hit up the TKTS booth in Times Square the day of. Half price or less for last minute seats on first run shows.

I loved taking photos around Coney Island - I bet it's pretty eerie around this time. Also, check out <a href="http://www.ricetoriches.com/frameset.php?content=/startpage.php" rel="nofollow">Rice to Riches</a>, the rice pudding store! There were some pretty awesome restaurants, but I can only remember how to walk to them, not the names or addresses.
