New York City Trip

Lombardi's Pizza. Arguably the oldest pizza place in the city. They use a coal oven. Everyone who I've suggested to go there has loved it.

The Metropolitan Museum. I guess it qualifies as a 'touristy' thing but it is amazing. You'll only see a fraction of it so decide what part you're most interested in.

The memorial at Ground Zero.

Shop a little, buy a shirt or a nice pair of jeans, the stores in Chelsea and the Village carry all sizes and the salespeople actually help you, and there's no sales tax on clothes, so it can be cheaper than shopping at home. It'll be fun later on when someone says 'that's a nice shirt' and you can say 'oh, thanks, I got it in New York.' Also the small shops and street corners are great places to buy unusual Christmas gifts that people will love.

The Museum of Sex is very interesting and well done.
