You may want to check out the Ice Cream Museum. My grandson thought it was pretty neat.

Just remember: Happy wife; happy life!

The Metropolitan Museum stays open until 9 pm on Friday. Must see the Temple of Dendur lit up. And don't miss the Cloisters. The subway goes there. And the Natural History Museum for Matt. And maybe the New York City Museum or Ellis Island will have family information. Have a wonderful time!

Highly recommend the American Gangster Museum at 80 St Mark’s Place in New York City’s East Village. Was once a speakeasy with boobytrapped doors, became a theater where they premiered "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." Can't make this stuff up... Don't forget to take a slice to the subway for Pizza Rat.

*Have a good time and may all the toilets work better than your house.*

You are going to have a blast! I mean that in a good way...

Wish I could remember the name of the Irish restaurant were we had an amazing lunch.... we were walking from the footprints of the WTC to a place where we could Hop On the bus. I had real bangers and mash, with a Black & Tan, and it was memorable. I could send you a pic of the meal, but that still wouldn't tell you WHERE.

A boat ride around Manhattan island is well worth the trip. Views of the city you can’t get anywhere else. Plus the history of the area and waterways. Great for adults and youths.
