Im going to NY for 4 days and I have never been before. Can anyone recommend good things to do (asides from the main tourist attractions) good restaurants and good places to shop?
Thx!

You will pass through many of the little neighborhoods in Manhattan and get a great flavor for the city.
Also, get a drink at the Rainbow Room (atop Rockefeller Plaza). A wonderful 20's style atmosphere with amazing views.

Went to NY before 9/11. Visited the WTC and afterwards found this beautiful little church. I fell in love with it. It was a miracle that it survived.before going to WTC/Ground Zero, I suggest the folowing- Visit St Paul's Church Yhey has a very moving and well -presented exhibit on the minstry that began right after 9-11.
It's the steepled church on Broadway & Fulton that surviced/missed the falling steel sections of the falling buildings that day. And when you see how close it is, you;ll see why it was a miraculous thing. They began a ministry of providing the workers with food, shelter/sleeping, physical & mental care, the various supply donations fior the the workers and kind , soothing words.

if you want and things work out schedual-wise for us both, I might want to meet up with you as you go to CBGB's.
I was hanging there not in the very first year but around 76, though I heard about those bands earlier on {some nasty lifestuff got in the way for a while}. saw Patti Smith, the Ramones & others there.. I'd bring my photos if Ican find them.
have a bunch of stories about that whole new/punk scene from about 75 -early 80's. Dazzled~~ your NYC new wave/ punk,u2, R&R guide.
shari~~ so glad you had a good time!
[you can then imgine how close that church came to ruin.}
