Possible Schedule

To help our time in New York City to run a little more smoothly, I have typed out a possible itinerary.  I am very flexible and am happy for suggestions.  Check and see if there is anything left out that you would like to do.  Also, it is impossible to know for sure how long everything will take, so we will more than likely have "free time" to enjoy more of the city.  The only non-flexible areas are those listed in red.

  1. Kristin,

    That looks great! Thanks so much for something tangible to get started with. For now, my only suggestion is to forget Buvette on Sunday and get to the Statue EARLY. There will be a crowd. We can go ahead and buy our tickets for 8:00 online. I'm not sure how this works with New York Pass. I remember from both previous trips getting down there around seven, but I don't think we already had tickets. Also, maybe only a couple of us could go down early and hold a place in line? I don't know if that's necessary if we already have tickets. I think this is where security will be the tightest and there will be a couple of long lines just to get through security.

  2. I would also like to shop at Bonpoint on the Upper East Side and Les Petits Chapelais in Soho. A children's bookstore I would like to visit, and think Ava would too, is Books of Wonder in Chelsea. There is also a Pottery Barn Teen.

  3. Macy,

    I think Tiffany's is only two blocks from Carnegie Deli. Saturday, after lunch, may be your perfect opportunity to browse.

    Before or after the Museum of Natural History, Jackson would like to go to Belvedere Castle.

  4. Just an update on my research of GW Bridge and Little Red Lighthouse - I am just not liking the unknowns of walking from the metro station and you cannot get there by car (taxi) My latest idea is for me to take a cruise around the island - I know it will take up about 4 hours (the actual cruise is 3 hours) - it is only about 10 minutes? looks like a longer walk to me, but that is what google said - from the Rockefellar Center- I know everyone will probably not want to do this - and maybe only me...I think it would be neat to see all the bridges, the lighthouse, the New Jersey shore and just to say I have cruised the Hudson. :)But I also realize my tastes are a little different! You can see the cruise route by going to Circleline Cruises.
    Can't wait!
