Went to NY last November and did an amazing amount of the usual things that tourists do..TOTR, Central Park, Times Square, Grand Central Station ,walked the Brooklyn Bridge, went to the Met museum, saw Chinatown, saw the Christmas store front windows, saw one play on Broadway (they were on strike) ,rode the Staten Island Ferry, all the 'biggies'. Now I am going back again, for 5 days, and wondered what you all thought I should see this time that maybe most tourists don't get to see..you know, the 'real' NY. Since we did so much last year we did not spend a lot of time at each place, so this time we plan on zeroing in on a place and really 'seeing' it more thoroughly, which would allow us to see the neat, unusal places that we might normally miss. Can anyone come up with some ideas for me? I know you all can, you are all so helpful on this board and I have learned so much.

As for the types of things we might like to see or do, you can tell from the places we saw already that we like a variety of things. We are 2 woman of an 'age'. not young, not old, but in the 'middle' so we are up for some challenges but not really interested in the fast paced younger style that someone in their 20's might find interesting. Is that enough information about what we might like? Getting around is easy for us..we used the Subway, the bus system, and taxi's fairly easily and we will be staying in Times Square so we will be cental.

We did not really see much in the upper East or West side mostly because we were not sure what we should be looking for. Is it worthwhile for use to spend some time there?
