I was in NY last week for two days. Go to Central Park. That is a must. There is a 'Gate,' an installation art exhibition, "the art event of the moment", is going on. Do you like opera? Go to see Madame Butterfly. I could not stop crying at the end. DO NOT DRIVE. Park somewhere safe and take the subways. New York is scary. Too big for me in every sense of the word. I enjoy while I am there but it is always a relief to come back home. Read AX's list. Boy, is that a list or a list??
