Give me your input
So, as you should all know by now. I'll be leaving for New York in about a week (and I still have a crapload of things to take care of before I go). This post if for you all to list things that I need to make sure I do, or see, or eat, etc, etc, etc. during my 8 week stay there. So please, help me get a list going:

All the classic touristy spots, of course. You should actually go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. When I was there last summer, we never actually went but viewed them from afar (through the fog it wasn't a very good view, but a view just the same). If you were to talk to my roommate, she'd tell you to go see "Wicked," but I think I'd prefer the "Phantom of the Opera."
Keep your eyes open for The Naked Cowboy, and beware men with dead snakes on the subways.
So that everyone can see and visit the site that ryan directed me to in his last comment:

Thanks for looking out for me Ryan! :)
there's a superfantabulous pizza place in queens...i forget what it's called but i could find out for you if you are interested.
and could you please sail a toy boat in central park for me? i wanted to last summer but didn't get the chance.
i'm so jealous of you right now.
A short list...
1. Make sure to put on pants, THEN shoes.
2. Charge iPod the night before.
3. Purchase gum BEFORE you get to the airport, because they always sell out and poppy ears hurt.
4. Be sure to take a security blanket in case of culture shock.
5. Send little sister a wicked awesome postcard
6. Go to Central Park and take pictures of the doggy statue erected in honor of the sled dogs who relayed yummy-goodness antitoxins from Nenana to Nome in 1925. (always wanted to see that statue!!! AND RIDE THE DOGGY!!!! EEEE!)
7. Beware of Naked Cowboy. Purchase mace.
8. Buy a chain for your wallet!
9. and buy a cheap wallet to keep in your back pocket with a couple bucks in it...that way, if you get mugged, they'll steal THAT one.
10. Beware street vendors selling crap at low low prices.
And...erm...well, if I think of more, I'll let you know! BTW, you are only staying there for 8 weeks?
OH YEAH! Go see SPAMALOT! And get me autographs!!!!
^_^
bring your own blanket! these ones suck here at the i-house.
bring me one too. :)
Why are you going to NY?
Lanada,
yeah...I would love for you to find out where that place is (athough I'm sure there are a TON of good pizza places).
Miya,
thanks for the info. :) I already have two wallets and I'm totally planning on having my old one in my back pocket with a couple bucks (now if only I had some OLD credit cards that I could cancel and keep in it as well; then it would look more realistic). :)
And yes, only for 8 weeks. Well, probobly 9 weeks. That's how long my internship is and I have to come home sometime to make money.
Becca,
Sorry the blankets suck. I'm bringing my sleeping bag. I'm not staying at ihouse. I have an apt about a 10 min walk away from you guys. Maybe I'll steal a blanket from the airplane for you. :)
Josh,
dude, why don't you read some of my earlier posts instead of asking lame questions! :)
That said, I'm going for an internship.
If I were you, I'd see Wicked. I've seen it twice now on Broadway and you would love it. If you enjoy rice pudding, check out Rice to Riches...its the Baskin Robbins of rice pudding..yum! That's in the village, so check it out. Are you going to go to Duck Beach in NC with the New Yorkers that go over Memorial Day weekend? I'll be there...you should come.
love you. call me sometime.

Pack firearms. Not on your carryon, though.
