We looked all week, and the only place we saw that sold DVD's was Borders, and they were quite expensive.

J&R sell dvds, in the lower floor of macy's there are also lots of blockbusters scattered about manhattan.

You'll find dvds cheaper here online than you'll get them there. Don't bother buying from the countless dodgy sidewalk salesmen!

Has anyone done the On Board New York Tours - See It All Tour?

Thinking of doing it on our trip in 12 days time.

Yep I did it on the 3rd Nov. Can highly reccomend it. Joey our guide was very knowledgeable and you do see loads. You head up to Central Park then stop off at Rockafella centre before heading down to South St Seaport to have lunch. From there you get the Staten Island ferry then head to Wall St and the WTC. You to see pretty much all the touristy bits in 5hours, then you can pick and choose where you want to go back to. It's a minibus which make it more personal than the HOHO tours, plus it's undercover, good for winter. Any other questions just ask.

I know this sounds like a really silly question but does it rain in New York? Just so I know to take a mini brolly with me lol

I don't mind the snow its more the rain I'm bothered about

out comes the mini brolly lol

If it rains the way it did when we were there (August), a brolly will be about as much use as a chocolate teapot. :rotfl:

Thanks red-pad,
It sounds a fab trip and im really looking forward to it. Ended up booking it last night and were doing it on our 1st full day in NY, like you said we can go back to anywhere we like the look of the next day. really dont think you would be able to see all the sights you see in a day if you did it on your own. How many were on your coach? any little tid-bits of info you feel we might need to know before we go??
Thanks again

Definitely!

We looked for How I Met Your Mother series 3 boxed set. It was $40 in Borders. Just looked on Amazon and it's £18!
