So I made this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=38&threadid=2079576 a while back and after much discussion, waiting, and other things coming up, we finally have a short trip planned. Nothing as exotic as we were originally thinking, but that's ok with me.
The background is we were invited to my Cousin's wedding in Wentzville, MO on Memorial Day weekend, so we decided to piggy-back on that with a trip to NYC because I've never been and my Mom has not been there in a very long time.
So here are the details and what I am looking for:
NYC - 5 nights here
1. Best museums/galleries to hit (I have the Met as my number 1, but unsure after that)
2. Tourist sites actually worth visiting. Is it imperative I go to the SoL, Empire State Building, UN, etc...?
3. Great, cheap food joints. I will be picking one very fancy place to go for dinner so I don't need recs for that, but the cheap places (i.e. a deli, good pizza place, etc..) I certainly do.
4. Any other event type things? Going to try for Conan/Letterman/Ferguson tickets, anything else? Yankee game looks impossible this year.
5. Anything else I need to know?
St. Louis - will be here for 2 nights only, after the wedding
1. Anything to do here? I have no idea, so I welcome any and all suggestions. We will have a car/truck apparently, courtesy of the family.
Thanks to everyone in advance for the recommendations/advice! :beer:
