New York, New York, a helluva town, the Bronx is up and the Battery's down

The QMT trip to New York City is rapidly approaching. I've found some people with whom I can go sight-seeing, and yesterday we drew up a preliminary itinerary. It includes:

• places: Rockefeller Centre, MOMA, Times Square, Empire State Building (at night), Central Park and/or 5th Avenue (possibly including the Jewish Museum)


• shows: Avenue Q (the whole trip group is going to this), any matinee available at TKTS, attempting to get tickets to "The Daily Show"


• things others are doing that I may skip: Madame Tussaud's, Serendipity (as recommended by Oprah), the Chocolate Bar, shopping, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (17 people are going to this, which will probably not include me unless someone cancels)


• in favour of: the Cloisters, the Lincoln Centre, Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum, Washington Square Park, Grand Central Terminal, Sweeney Todd, 228 Avenue of the Americas


Any other suggestions? Geek-related stuff?

NB: Damn! I'll miss The History Boys by one week and The Drowsy Chaperone by one month!

Hmm. I am the only member of the small group who hasn't been before, so I'm guessing that they've probably seen the Met already. Still, if it's the better choice I may opt to go to it instead.

I visited Paris and London this past summer, actually, and they're also completely baffling when deciding where to go. It made me wish I could actually live in each place long enough to get a sense of what it's really like. (By the way, despite all this location-name-dropping, I'm actually not a very experienced traveller.)

Well, unless you're bored by pre-20th c. art and totally love modern art xFOREVERx, in which case the MOMA is for you.

One time I was in Cheticamp and didn't know whether to go to the Rug Hooking Museum or the lobster restaurant or the K-Mart, so I totes know how you feel there.
