What??? No "all you can eat shrimp"? Those people don't know how to live. Hopefully it's not too late to cancel the hotel reservations and get a refund on the train tickets.

If you can do nothing else , the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a MUST SEE .

My wife dragged me there a few years ago and in one of the rooms there were small paintings from the 13th century.I couldn't help myself and just has to touch a few of them,
thinking that these things have survived for 800 years.It's a mind boggler.There was a larger painting there,in black and white,that was a true 3 D effect.It was pots and pans in a kitchen.
And the topper was seeing the Mona Lisa.Needless to say I couldn't get close enough to touch it.


39 more to go.

Thanks to help and advice from Art and Patricia Leong and S/ST racer Neal Vaccaro, my wife pretty much has everyday of our stay planned out pretty well. If it doesnt involve going to a race I usually don't get very excited about a trip, but I am looking forward to this experience.

Sorry Keith, I don't frequent the lounge often. Hope this helps Joe.

Personal preferences.

Subs:
Dafontes in Brooklyn by the tunnel has the best subs around, especially if you like rare roast beef with fresh mozzarella and egg plant or classic italian.

Da'Nico's 164 Mulberry St between Broome and Grand
Fiore's on Grand near Mulberry

BBQ:
Blue Smoke
116 E. 27th between Park and Lex

255 Vesey St between West and Northend Ave in Battery Park City

Wildwood BBQ
Park Ave south between 18th/19th street

Burgers:
Jacksonhole Burgers
521 3rd Ave at E 35th street. There are many more of those around the city

Pizza:

Grimaldi's
1 Front Street
Brooklyn
down by the water

Chinatown, plenty of god places.
B&H Dairy restaurant 2nd Ave near St Marks Place (8th St), next door is the best egg cream sodas on Earth.
Museum of Modern Art.
Museum of Natural History, planetarium is a mind blower.

If any of you go to Chinatown One of the best places to eat (if they are still there? haven't been there in 10 years) is 69 Bayard street They are open 24/7 and all and I mean all the celebrities eat there. You can see the pictures on the wall. No atmosphere just great food.

Wo Hop on Mott st is 24 hours too. Near Chatham square. Just tons of great places, many all night or late. Shanghai Snack bar is a dumpling place. REALLY great. In a little mall off Elizabeth St right near the police precint.

Hey Artie,did you ever notice there were never any cats walking around near the restaurants down there?Plenty of rats though around 3 am.
And the old Fulton St fish market,I could tell stories that would make people non fish eaters.:>):>):>)

I worked in the market for 7 years. Matter of fact many times I would bring the race car (Challenger) to work then leave to go to a race from there. When we won the Summernats. The next day I got to work late I told my boss he was lucky I was there at all.
The next week we won the Molson Grandnats. And I quit.
