Seriously? Does it have to be from Battery Park? The ones on 5th Avenue near my job are just as fake....how much do you want to spend?

No, just being nostalgic, I miss NYC this time of year.

More sightseeing to try and see all the main places. I've got Ground Zero, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Brooklyn, Yankee Stadium, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Empire State Building on the list so far.

Seriously. Even if you don't shop. Go to FAO Schwarz! Easy walking distance from Central Park (at least the side I stayed on - The Plaza Hotel)

Remember the Statue of Liberty is in JERSEY!

So is the home of some of the best pizza in the world! And not to mention we don't have a 75% Tabacco Tax

Have fun Brother. If I can make it up one nite we'll meet up in the city.

I thought Chinatown was "the place" for decent looking fake watches and purses?

If you want a memorable dinner go to Babbo's http://www.babbonyc.com/. It's hard to make reservations for but is worth it. Very pricey, but they have a tasting menu along with wine and they make it a wonderful experience. So if you want to make it a special weekend this is great way to top it off.

MiamiE · 12-16-2010, 08:21 PM

I am taking notes! Thanks for all the recommendations. LOTS to do in so little time!

Chingas · 12-16-2010, 09:22 PM

That page can easily be corrected!

It's a common misconception.

Happy reading!

The statue is situated in Upper New York Bay on Liberty Island, south of Ellis Island. Both islands were ceded by New York to the federal government in 1800. As agreed in an 1834 compact between New York and New Jersey that set the state border at the bay's midpoint, the original islands remain New York territory despite their location on the New Jersey side of the state line. Land created by reclamation at Ellis is New Jersey territory.

Its there in black and white....

Chingas · 12-16-2010, 09:26 PM

Well that's awful.

Used to be Jersey! In a Jersians eyes, it'll always be Jersey!

MiamiE · 12-25-2010, 08:54 PM

Trip is official! Booked my Jet Blue flight to La Guardia. Now I just need accomadations. Thanks for all the tips!

Coach Deg · 12-26-2010, 07:00 AM

Just jumped on. My flight weather permitting leaves at 9am tomorrow! Bringing the wife and kids to see New York at Christmas time. I could not remember Ferrara's for the life of me. Some great suggestions, you guys made. Also juniors for cheese cake!!

Ahhh........
The old us NJ's v. them NY's over the statue is ours or theirs by virtue of where Liberty Island is situated.

I think we might as well add the NY Giants and NY Jets to this discussion.
Oh wait.....dear me.....how silly.......NY, go ahead and keep the Jets.

. I always forget the Bills. Amazing how NY has 3 football teams, two of which share a home stadium in NJ and NJ has 0 teams. Now I don't care who you are, there is something wrong with that picture!

But it's been so long, it just the norm now.
