Subject: Re: How to spend the 18 hours in New York City? Posted on: Sat, 08 Apr 2006 10:25:01 CDT

I might even rethink the two tourist sites that you mention. New York
is more of a place to experience than a location of sites. Walk around
a crowded part. Get a sandwich from a small deli. Try to experience
different neighborhoods. If you want to see the harbor take the Staten
Island ferry.
