ReginaP Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 The THEATER! Definitely one of my favorite perks when I'm in the city. If you haven't seen Aida, GO, it's fantastic. Also loved Miss Saigon, Phantom, Saturday Night Fever, Les Mis...almost anything that I've seen on B'way. Off B'way plays like Tony & Tina's wedding are great too Oh, and Bloomie's ------------------=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saigray Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 First, all theater peeps check out Lion King, you wouldn't believe it but its the most avant garde thing on Bway- gorgeous. yeah, and I love the theater/modern dance scene downtown. The most incredible spot in Manhattan though, IMHO, is the Cloisters Museum and teh surrounding park. Its like being transported to another world- if you haven't been give yourself a gift and go.

opala Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Love the village...Aside from that...and people always give me heck for this one, I'm not from NYC so I built up this fascination with Coney Island. I'm not in NYC anymore, but before I left in the beginning of Jan. I would go out there and just think. It's like a ghost town, no one to bother you...I'd go walk out on the boardwalk and just clear my head. It was especially nice when it was sunny. If you aren't opposed, go try it sometime.
