    Me first please :D

    I had a total NY flashback while out running yesterday - gentle snow, fierce wind and Cleopatra's Needle in the background *sigh* - I want to be running in Central Park again :(
  • I am also dying to go back especially when I keep looking at the cheap flights sales just now.. have been twice in the past year so really shouldn't complain but I have the bug now.. my boyfriend won't fly so that rules him out.
    Maybe we should have a MSE trip to New York !! LOL

    Me to - I found some for a week in April for £220, but I'm just not sure about sitting on a plane for 6 hours the day after running a marathon - cant imagine its very good for you...

    Oooo St Patricks day would be great! My friends that live in NY are always going on about how much fun it is :D - go on book it!!

    Only 86 days until i head off to New York :)

    Flights are all booked (asked on here for advise at time) and hotel is nearly all paid for (paid upfront hotels.com via quidco 10% cashback) just £155 to clear from card.

    We are staying for 5 nights so just wondering how much spending money to take with us? Its for my OH's 30th (a surprise).

    Neither of us are big shopping fans so thinking of taking $1500, $300 dollars per day approx.

    I want to do a Broadway show although i know there is a half price ticket booth and looking to go museums etc.

    Considering a helicopter trip, think this would be the biggest expense.

    Any tips on how much to take? Also has anyone used New York Passes? I have seen them on Play.com
