They are so many great spots and we will look forward to hearing about where you go!<br />Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280782743483018226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-45769555273418642902013-07-12T07:29:07.036-04:002013-07-12T07:29:07.036-04:00My favourite tourist restaurant in NY is Tavern on...My favourite tourist restaurant in NY is Tavern on the Green right in Central Park. It's pricey, touristy and kitschy. But the food is amazing, the service impeccable and the surroundings fantastic. While you're up there, make sure you spend some time in Central Park - it's gorgeous any time of year, but fantastic in the summer. <br /><br />Make sure you go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (also near Central Park) - you'll never see it all in one day, but the Impressionist collection is worth the visit.<br /><br />If you go up the Empire State building (which you should) - go at night. The lines will be long, but it's worth it. Also Top of the Rock (Rockfeller Centre) is awesome. <br /><br />I could go on and on as NYC is one of my favourite spots in the world. I've been about 10 times and would love to go back. I especially love it in the fall when Central Park is ablaze with fall foliage and there's a nip in the air. But summer is awesome too!!<br /><br />Have fun!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063046271695834588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-25777981934514889692013-07-11T18:55:00.684-04:002013-07-11T18:55:00.684-04:00The Russian Tea Room you will need reservations

I havn't been there for years either, maybe that should go on the list of places to go. <br /><br />Thanks also for the visit and your gracious comment. I love cooking from the garden, it is so fun to see all the fresh veggies come in, and try to figure out what to make with them.

I went with a friend to visit her daughter who was going to school in Manhattan. She took us to all kinds of local "hot" spots and I've no idea how to tell you where they were.aspiritofsimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870339828098281415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-14727296993242987342013-07-11T09:00:37.201-04:002013-07-11T09:00:37.201-04:00I love dining on the water!!

Enjoy your trip to NYC. I was there once, and it was a shock to a girl from the hills of NW Wisconsin. What I remember most was that people were in a rush and unhappy, intense, and rude. Hope you have a much better experience. :-)Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.com
