I will be visiting New York for 2 days at the end of January & I'll be making a list of all the places that are a must. There’s a lot of good info on Tom's thread (http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=395158), so that will help me. If anyone has any other ideas, I’d love to know, thanx!

Also, if anyone would like to meet up for a drink while I’m there, let me know!

Watch out New York!

MOMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Frick Collection, definitely

There's a couple of opera houses too - PM me for > info

Rete

Let me know which days and I will arrange a little vacation time. Don't want to have to be in the city when the whirlwind hits.

What kind of things do you like to do? I can suggest some bars and lounges needless to say....

Rushman

Mrs.R and myself might make the trip for the weekend.

Get pissed up at McSorleys and then head around the corner for a vindaloo at the Brick Lane Curry House

Fab! I'll have hubby & a Brit friend (male) with me, so feel free to bring someone along with you. I don't really mind where we go, something unique would be great, let me know if anything springs to mind. I like a bit of variety & something to write home about!!!

Partystar

I'd love to meet you both!

Partystar

Excellent, thank you!

If you are looking for night life (and it's still there) I would recommend Vau(g)n (can't remember if there was a g in there) on Bleaker street. It's a cozy little wine/mixed drink/European beers bar. Also Houlahans has the best baked potatoe soup , and just to be kitchy, you should either try a hot dog or a piece of pizza from a street vendor.

I'll second the Brick Lane thing. Mrs TR and I sampled their very generous lunchtime buffet a few weeks ago - the best Indian buffet I ever ate (including in the UK!!) and an absolute bargain at only $10 a head. Lots of good veggie stuff in addition to fish and meat - includes appetizer and dessert items and they even bake fresh nan bread and bring it to your table included in the price!!!
