Hey New York Area Nanaheads
My oldest DD (Elizabeth) is turning 10 in a couple of weeks. All she wants for her birthday is to go to the Big Apple for a weekend. It all started because she wanted to go to American Girl Place - but of course is now not interested in that anymore, though we will probably go there - just not do any of the formal stuff like the tea party and such.
We are hoping to make the trip happen in mid-October. We plan to get tix in advance for a show (Wicked or Lion King - her 2 requests) and then try for TIX booth for another. We plan to go out to the Statue of Liberty. We plan to play in Central Park (we are staying at the Jumeirah- the former Westin - Essex House on Central Park South). She wants to see the big Toys R Us store in Time square and we'll go into the Plaza since she used to read all the Eloise books. she wants a frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity (my fault as I raved about it from a previous trip). What else should we plan?
Check out www.broadwaybox.com for discounted broadway tickets. I don't think you will find Wicked or Lion King tickets unless you either get them from a broker or from Tkts booth.
Carmine's is a great place for dinner

My DD loves to shop, so bring $$$ if she likes to shop.
