Thanks so much for the link ladies!! I'll check those out now.

Yummm nutella crepes are the best!! I had them with bananas on it too in Dublin in february and they were awesome!

Thanks again!

And they serve them with dulce de leche ice cream. Ooooh, the indulgence.

Have fun on your whirlwind visit.

I second TAO. I ate there with my friends and it was AMAZING! I'd love to go back there with DH one day. Great atmosphere too.

I am looking to buy tickets to Spamalot for a Weekend in January. Does anyone have any tips to get these tickets at a discounted price? I promiced them to my parents, without realizing how expensive!
TIA

Try www.broadwaybox.com for discounts. They have new sales all the time. Weekend show discounts are generally hard to come by, though.

Oooh, we loved Spamalot! I ended up having to book directly through the box office last year for DH's xmas gift for our trip in February b/c no one else had them at decent prices.

For a weekend show, I suspect you'll have to pay full price (unless you want to chance the two-for booth, which doesn't make for a relaxing day, especially in January!). The good news is that the show is worth it--we laughed ourselves silly (including my mom, who is not a big Monty Python fan).

There's always the TKTS booth in Times Square, although unfortunately there's no guarantee that they'll have tickets for the show/time you are looking for. If they do, big savings!

So I just booked a last minute trip to NYC. FH and I will be arriving Monday afternoon and leaving Wednesday afternoon. FH has a business meeting Tuesday, all day, and I'll be on my own, but the rest of the time is ours.

I've never been to NYC, so I need some advice. We're staying in the Westin Times Square, so seeing Times Square is guarenteed. What else is must-see or must-do for me during the day Tuesday, and what would be the best things for FH and I Monday and Tuesday evenings? Bearing in mind that it will be freezing cold with highs around 30 degrees while we are there.

I think I mainly want to see museums and cool architecture more than like, going on a Statue of Liberty tour, but what are the best and most accessible places from Times Square. I'll probably be travelling on subways, and my experience with them is rather limited.
