We drove thru once, with The Baby, in 1992, I think.
 Mrs. BartCop made me fill up in New Jersey so we could get thru NYC without a stop.
 This time'll be different - we know people.

 The fella who won the first Corvette, Rich, sent some suggestions for what to do:

 Walk around midtown. That covers Central Park, fancy shops, carriage rides, the IMAX theater,
 the Met, the Plantaterium, Rockerfeller Center, the Opera House, Carnegie Hall, The Museum of
 Modern History, The Guggenheim Museum. MOMA.

 We could do a bar crawl around the Village and downtown. We could hit the bar Mars 2112, but they have
 Disney like lines to get in. There are booze cruises around Manhatten. the World Trade Center is a sight to see.
 The Interpid air/space museum is in midtown. The Southstreet seaport has lots of shops and its right next to the
 Fulton Street fish market. You can hop the Staten Island ferry nearby too.  F.A.O. Schwartz, the Bronx Zoo,
 Chinatown, the Soup Nazi, Wall St., the fashion district (always interesting on a warm spring day)
 Harlem, Little Italy, NBC studio tours, the Museum of Broadcasting, the NY public library, Sparks Steak House
 where whatshisname was rubbed out, Comedy clubs, the jewlery district is a sight to see, the theater district,
 the United Nations and St. Patricks if you have anything to confess, .

 ...then on the second day...

 ha ha

 I know there's lots to see - maybe a Sopranos tour in New Jersey?
 Do YOU have any good ideas what an Oklahoma rube could do for fun in NYC?

 What's the name of the restaurant where Michael shot Sollozo and Sterling Hayden?
 Lambrusco's?  Is it a real place?  Still standing?
 I understand Mulberry street is an interesting place, too.

 Does anyone know of any location shooting going on in May?
 I guess the Angie Harmon Show will have wrapped by then, damn...

 What about famous movie scenes?
 Is there a web site that has a block-by-block description of "That one scene in movie "X"
 was shot here, and that other scene in movie "Y" was shot here?

 I figure this will be the most throughly-documented trip report on  bartcop.com
 We also plan to hit New Jersey.  Is Atlantic City worth seeing?
 I mean, I've been to Vegas, wouldn't Atlantic City look "cute" by comparison?
 What about the Boardwalk, or Coney Island?
 (Don't laugh, I don't even know if those places still exist.)

 We're going to Boston, too, but I have that covered.

 We're also looking to rent a car and do some countryside sightseeing - anywhere in NY
 Maine, NH, CT, and so on. Usually when we do this, it's out west, where we cover
 New Mexico and Arizona in a day, so this'll seem like everything's next door.

 If you have some good ideas of where we need to go, send them, but be sure and put New York
 in the subject header or it could get buried, OK?

 Living in dusty old Oklahoma and visiting New York is like stepping into the future.
 Why, they even have liberals in New York, I hear...
 
 

 Send me your suggestions.

 Be sure to put "NY" in the title
