If you are driving, then pay the parking garage fees unless you can move the car on the street(assuming you find street parking). I got nailed with a $225 dollar ticket for too close(10 or 12 feet from a hydrant) And it goes without saying leave the dualie at home! Note: Not cheap, and not on sale, but truly unique. Have fun Eric

Keith,everyone knows the usual tourist locationsHere's two places to eat you can't miss.
They're both in Greenwich Village,downtown Manhattan and within a 1/2 mile of each other. Sevillia:Spanish restaurant,real Spanish not Tex-Mex crap.Located at Charles St and West 4th st. John's Pizzeria-Real brick oven pizza,same family ownership since the 1920s.I grew up on this stuff.Located on Bleeker St south of 7th ave south.I think they're closed on Mondays. The Village is very interesting to walk.You can spend a day plus nd still not see everything. Enjoy your visit and I know it's not easy,but don't bring the car into Manhattan.The PT (public transportation) will get you where you want to go.Check ahead of time for discounted travel deals. Ther cabs,due to traffic,are not a fast/enjoyabe means of travel.They'll make you wish you brought your helmet/harness/neck collar etc. along.The subway,other than rush hours,is the best and fastest.

Times Square at night. When it's all lit up. And it is now pretty safe there. Gulianni chased all the skells out. It's now tourist friendly.

The real deal for Deli sandwiches is Harolds by Exit 10 (NJTP) They make Katz's look like finger food.
