That’s a crazy coincidence.

The Edge might be cool for a five year old, or it might be scary. You’re on, I think, floor 103, part of that ledge has a glass floor you can stand or crawl on.
If you get (relatively) nice weather the Central Park zoo is an option. I realize you guys are near a first class zoo but this one is nice, manageable size, centrally located. Penguins and polar bears are popular.

I was thinking about The Edge, but thought it might be a bit too intense for him. I’m trying to decide between going up to the deck at the Rock or making the trip to the Empire State Building. While Empire has more historical significance, we’re going to be at Rockefeller Center anyway for the tree and hot chocolate.

Rockefeller is a zoo as you know or can imagine. Whatever you’re thinking of doing there, get tickets/reservations in advance.

If you find yourself around Washington Park, popup bagels and l’Industrie pizza were the current “it” places. Line ups though….

Bouchon Bakery on Rockefeller plaza is a great place for breakfast goods. Not a lot of places to sit but you’re only three short blocks from the hotel.

Yes. As is the line out the door and around the corner.

At least when I last walked by it which was Memorial Day weekend. Winter it’ll be shorter due to the weather but probably more than you’re willing to tolerate. Especially Fin, who won’t understand what the fuss was all about.

Junior’s is right down 44th in the alley. NYC has a lot of really good unsung diners. You can pretty much bet they’re good or they wouldn’t last.

Argh!!!!
My lovely wife just informed me that the wind orchestra she is a member of just added on a second concert Sunday evening. She’s a soloist in the concert and needs to be there. That means we lose 1 of the 2.5 days we were going to be there. So I had to move the reservation back to January.

Or just bring your side chick instead.

I could probably afford alimony, but not the cost of having my testicles reattached.

Besides, no side-chick could offer what my wife does…
