Thanks, guys! I left this post and couldn't get back to it before I hopped the plane. But I had time enough to read your suggestions before our weekend was out, and we made it to most of them! We visited:
-The Met (we loved the out-of-the-way Egyptian models. Who doesn't love a good diarama? We could have spent more time there than we had.)
-MoMA (where we saw the strangest naked mannequin family I've ever seen, the piece entiled "family romance," among other exciting art exhibits. Could spend much more time there too.)
-The Museum of Natural History (where the planetarium show was more exciting than most films we've seen lately)
-Angelica Kitchen (indeed, very yummy with the dragon bowls and the seitan.)
We wished to visit the Frick but there wasn't enough time, and we wished to visit Central Park but there wasn't enough weather-permitting. We wished to visit Serendipity but one of us can't eat any protein so we preferred a dessert spot that could better cater to both of us.
On the other hand, we were also able to hit some other delights, which included:
-Moonstruck Diner, which had the best lox EVER
-Magnolia Bakery, whose cupcakes and banana pudding I thought to be not overrated at all
-Avenue Q, which is even funnier onstage with its great interstitial Sesame Street gags
-The Moscow Cat Theatre, which was perhaps the strangest Eastern European circus involving cat handstands, dogs in pants, men who speak no English, and villainous elephant-men in dream sequences ever.
There was some other stuff, but it's slipping my mind at the moment. Perhaps Tom will remember it in the haze of his post-flight head cold.
