Walk over to Broadway and check out TRL, your bound so see someone getting out of a limo and into the studios.<BR><BR>There's a Virgin Records store across the street, and I saw some members of Creed in there last week. Have fun.

We saw David Schwimmer(Ross from Friends) in the same Virgin record store. Alot of times you will see a famous person just passing you on the street.

My friends and I see famous people all over NYC. The real key is to LOOK and pay attention -- most famous people look much worse in person!<BR><BR>In the last few weeks on the Upper East Side (Madison Ave.) I've seen Sigourney Weaver, Woody Allen, Katie Couric, Tom Brokaw, and Janine Garofalo (in Starbucks!).<BR><BR>Shops (Barneys, Prada) are also good places to look.<BR><BR>Have Fun!!

Of course you can see famous people through the windows at the Today Show (Rockefeller Center). Also, I frequently see cast members of "Saturday Night Live" in the lobby area of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which is worth seeing anyway. <BR>
