I can only imagine what it is like living there. I'm going from one extreme the next.

I grew up on a farm in a small town of 400 people and now I'm going to be in NYC. I think it's going to be a little overwhelming at first, but in an exciting kind of way!

I think NY gets a bad rap. Sure it can be overwhelming because of the size and the crowds and everyone always seems to be in a hurry. But NYers aren't all rude and obnoxious (only some of us are like that

). And it's one of the safest big cities in the US.

Ya Im not scared. It seems my family is more scared than I am. Ill be cautious, but Im like that anywhere.

I think the size of the place is overwhelming more than anything. Heck, I was overwhelmed by Morgantown when I first came here...now isnt that crazy?

The link didn't work but I am assuming it is the Marriott Marquis. If so you have a very nice hotel. I have stayed there already and it was very nice.

Let us know how your trip turns out.

My firm had its Christmas party at the Marriott Marquis 3 or 4 times and my law school's alumni association has a cocktail party there every year. It's a real nice place and very centrally located. I pass by every morning when I'm walking to my office from Penn Station.

Thanks again for all of your great suggestions!

I leave tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 5 am and will arrive in NYC around 1 or 1:30 p.m.!!

What places are there to eat around the marquis? I know I want to try that mexican restaurant that was mentioned.

Try Simply Pasta (http://simplypastanyc.com/media/simplypasta.html) at 120 West 41st Street for excellent Italian food at a reasonable price. Be sure to get the Raspberry Crumb Cheesecake for dessert.

LIPH, you ARE going to offer to entertain her, aren't you?

He's a stalker, but he's harmless. Seriously though, he really is one of the nicest, most fun people I know, so if you can talk him into hanging out with you, do it! (Oh yeah- LIPH, everyone who was at the Rathskeller on Friday asked about you, and a lot of comments were made about how much fun you are.)

I'm humbled.

I can't stay in the city after work, my brother and his wife are up from Florida and I haven't seen them in almost 3 years. It wouldn't look right if I ignored them while they were here.

Well you know what hotel to find her at... just camp out in front with your BN nametag on. Maybe make a sign like the limo drivers.

that would've surely been a great idea! No Doubt I would've noticed him in his parrotthead gear. Maybe NYCPort is really the naked cowboy..i did see him outside in Times Square

OMG you guys I had the best time in NYC!!! What a beautiful city! I walked around Manhattan FOREVER and I only saw a fraction of the city! We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, walked through central park, went to Little Italy, Chinatown and shopped in Soho. We went and saw a comedy club show, watched WICKED (which was like one of the hardest tickets to get on broadway right now!) and went up in the Empire State Building!

I know there are sooooo many more things to do and I can't wait until I go back next year!!

Guys, WICKED was absolutely amazing. Maybe it was the fact that it was my first broadway show, but it was soooo awesome. I loved it! Wish I had seen several more broadway shows while i was there (didn't want to wait in that LONG TKTS line though!).

So I just got back from Ocracoke. Weather was definitely there this week and we had an amazing time! (Despite the sunburn and a "few" mosquito bites!)
