It's getting close to departure day - anyone else have any advice for us? We're planning on visiting ground zero on Thursday and the statute of liberty/ellis island (if there's time) on Friday. We have arguments Thursday evening and Friday evening and Saturday starting in the morning and ending as we get knocked out. That leaves Wednesday evening (without Ryan), Saturday at some point, and Sunday morning/afternoon to fill up.

I'm especially looking for cheap - but tasty - eats. Shopping and sights, as well.

(And I confess that as I was arranging a furniture delivery tonight I got a little thrill from being able to say "no, I'll be in new york that week." I'm sure as time goes on and the trips accumulate that thrill will fade to a strong annoyance.)

My cheap, but tasty, eats:

Peanut Butter and Company - the seating area is small, but the food is really tasty.

burger joint in Le Parker Meridian hotel (go through the front, and hang a left right past the check-in desk) - excellent burgers in a place that looks like a throwback to the 70s. The menu is basic: burgers, fries, shakes and sodas.

Le Pain Quotidien is a chain in NYC, but it's really tasty. The chain started in Belgium, so the outlets have a very European cafe feel.

Brooklyn has a lot of eateries, but I've never been over there. I would suggest checking out the TimeOut NY eating guide.

I'm actually going to be down in NY on that Friday night (2/23) for a friend's birthday party.
