Hotels in Manhattan?
-
Thanks for the recommendations! Hotel is booked. It’s a short visit, and so far we plan on going to the Natural History Museum, Rockefeller Center, and shopping in Times Square. I’m contemplating a show, but not sure a 5 year old is ready to sit quietly through 2 hours, even if it’s Aladdin or The Lion King. I’m wondering if the NY Big Top Circus at Lincoln Center would be a better choice? Any recommendations? Also, any other recommendations, including restaurants? I don’t even plan on eating breakfast at the hotel… There should be some epic bagel joints and/or diners, no?

The Neapolitan pizza joint sounds good. A perfect Neapolitan is always a hit with me. Found a place in NOLA called Margot’s. Almost worth moving for.

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.

That’s a crazy coincidence.

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.

Is Katz’s deli still a thing?

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.

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.
