and if you can, be sure to try new york's favorite drink ( non alcoholic)
the New York Chocolate Egg Cream....
no chocolate, no egg, no cream! but a very refreshing drink.

other tatse treats: hot dog from the sidewalk street stand with mustard, and sourkraut.
                                 De Niro's café in the village....he may be there who knows!
                                 a visit to the Cloisters in fort tryon park ( near 180th st. and broadway)
                                 Yankee stadium for a baseball game
                               
and not to be missed if you can get a seat: the Hayden Planeterium.....it will blow your mind. it's just behind the museum of natural history...also a must see.
