We had a tiny bit of rain on the last day, and the missus was astounded at the amount of umbrella sellers that came out of the woodwork!As soon as its rains in NY you will find the place is flooded, pardon the pun, with people selling umbrellas, last trip they were going for $5 so personally I wouldnt bother packing one just buy it if you need it 0 -
Has anyone done a helicopter ride over Manhattan? If so which company would you recommend (and yes I have done a heli ride before so know what I'm letting myself in for!)0

There aren't the deals that there used to be on DVDs in the states it seems. The only places we found DVDs in New York were Best Buy & Borders, we have the same problem in Orlando thought we found a shop called FYE down here that do DVDs etc (a bit like our HMV) but the prices didn't seem that great.

I've never found anywhere that's a lot cheaper than the UK, of course it was a tad cheaper when the $ was 2 to 1 but alas no more.
Also remember the vast majority of dvds will be region 1, which unless you have a region free dvd player they wont play properlyLive each day like its your last because one day you'll be right0
