I haven't done the Rock Tour in 25 years, but don't remember being all that impressed then -- do visit Top of the Rock, though; fabulous views.
One of my favorite things to do in NY is Ellis Island; the Statue of Liberty, not so much, but I do love Ellis Island. We also did the Circle Line tour last year, and I was really surprised at how rural the northern end of Manhattan felt. Did the Radio City tour a few years ago, and didn't like it at all. Dull guide, and since it was the day after the Grammys, we couldn't even go in the house. Restaurants: Katz's (2nd Ave Deli is inferior to it), Burger Joint, The Modern (expensive, but worth it), Grey's Papaya. More as I think of it. --Dake Sikula On May 12, 3:41 pm, Chris Neuman <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Off to NYC for a week this Friday.
