That should be Eating and Drinking guide. I was posting while sleepy.

Serendipity. It's a beautiful ice scream / dessert parlor. Two stories. Lovely interior. It's wonderful and dreamy and creamy and delicious.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a must if you're doing the museum thing. There are tons of wonderful museums in NYC, but that's really the one to go to if you're only gonna go to one.

Anywhere in Central Park.

The Lower East side, for history, for amazing Chinese food, for dive bars or swanky bars, for color and life and fun; it has a bit of everything.

Gotta stand before the Brooklyn Bridge, at least once.

Angelika's Kitchen on 12th street (off of 2nd, I think) if you like vegan food.

6th street if you like Indian food.

Williamsburg, first stop off the L train in Brooklyn, has a lot of fun shops and eateries.

Coney Island, and it's a nice ride on the F train to get there.

Have fun!

Why is it the thought of NYC makes me hungry?

Pastrami sandwich sounds great right about now.

Don't miss Katz's Deli - "Send a salami to your boy in the Army"

They have a nice website, good shopping and since I'm hungry, so tempted!

The menu (not surprisingly) is huge. I'll add this to my list, I've not been in any of my trips to NY.

And, I've never stood in front of the Brooklyn Bridge, either. :(

Last time I was in NY it was pre-NM so I was a vegetarian. I walked in and thought "there is absolutely nothing I can eat here", walked out and went to Grilled Cheese down the street.
