Have fun in NYC!

sorry! you should send me a MP . I don't connect to english side a lot ok dear
what kind of place do you like? and where are you going to stay? to have fun it's in Manhattan!

Times Square, you have there, marriott hotel, nice view in the top and good restaurant, you have too many places to see in that place, you have megastore, big store for all kind of music, you can just go inside and listen, it's free listening, you have planet holywood, you might meet a celebrety, I did meet one, he was promoting his movie

day time, central park, if you want to walk and breath a fresh air

if you are in 5th ave and 59th street you can go to an Indian restaurant close to plaza hotel and central park I think the name is"nirvana", it's in the top of a building and the view on the central park, very romantic place.

you walk on 5th ave a little down and you can see Rockfeller center and on your right side you can see times square on 7th ave(I talked about it above)


if you need downtown, south seaport! very nice and close to the ex-twin towers, many restaurants, nice view to brooklyn bridge, and brooklyn .

just tell me where you are going to be and I will give you all informations how to get there and what do you want exactely?

thank you so much NewYorkaise,the info are very helpful,i like the idea of the indian restaurant on top of the building with nice view..i think im gonna try that,especially that i luuv indian food
iv been to planet hollywood,nice place but not very romantic..i want some romaance come on tell me where u and ur hubby go when u wanna have sweet dinner with nice music n beautiful view
i dont know where we r gonna be staying,probably in one of manhattans hotels,im only gonna be staying in NYC for two nights before i continue to Cali thats why i asked about the most intersting places to visit in that short time
thanks again

cryptex,
im wondering about the weather too,only coz i donno what to wear i live in rabat so im not used to cold weather n snow n stuff
how cold is it in the end of february?

to tell you the the truth, I stop going out I prefer stay home and you know when you live in a place more than 5, 10 years and up you become one of them.I saw many places here and even some they close out and some of them they changed the name also check this one it used to be a romantic place:

[www.tavernonthegreen.com]

I know a place , it belongs to Robert de Niro, it's in downtown manhattan , Tribeca, they changed the name"chez layla" to "Tribecca grill, nice place

[www.myriadrestaurantgroup.com]

you have also village, place for crazy people close to NYU, many restaurants, I know "le Figaro cafe" it's good place also,


in the village you have all kind of people, gays, hippies, tatoons lol


if you need something a la carte it's in uptown, close to lincoln center, opera, movie theater.

Tell me your style of place you want to see even Romantic but it depends of your lifestyle, we can be hippie and romantic also . tell me more and I will direct you..NYC has everything and the city who never sleeps most places are 24 hours!
You said in Manhattan?? where? you can send me a MP if you want, you don't have to give me details(I understand) just to help you that's all! I did it with some YABIES before, they came here and they enjoyed it!

salam NewYorkaise,
i really dont know in which hotel we r gonna be staying,last time i went there i stayed in the double tree hotel in times square if u know it n i luved it,so maybe i ll choose it again
as for my type,im not even the romantic type and im asking about romantic places its only coz im gonna be meeting my husband after being aprt for few months,so i wanna spend some quite romantic time before we get back to Cali n everyday life routine,know what i mean? but guess just being with him will do it so now i just wanna explore the city

i googled new york attractions n i found sth about the empire state building skyride..what u think about it? the empire state building is a must see,donno about that skyride,i like the kinda tours where u can see the whole city in 1 hour
i also got a list of some asian restaurants(im a fan of the spicy asian food):
Buddakan restaurant,Devi and Kittichai
the one u mentioned in your previous msg is closed i guess
thanks for replying,i really appreciate it
have a great day

yes Empire state building is in 34th street and Broadway, yes there are many stores where you can do shopping, Macy's, Gap, Victoria's secret, H&M, Madison Square garden( if you need to see a game, a basketball) lol. yes in that area, there are too many Asian restaurant around... I remember with my Asian friends, we walked from 59th street to 34 street just to eat in a Korean restaurant, they had good spicy food, I chose salmon with veggies and it was sweet and sour dish, I loved it..we were a little crazy..lol if you are in midtown manhattan in times square, you can walk some blocks down.
for me most places n NYC are romantic
I told you, most places I used to go they moved or they closed, here they don't stay too long, sometimes they sell their business or when they changed the name...
now, I'm more quiet in my house and when I hear something new then, I go to discover it!

I think it's a good deal and you will have the chance to see many places, I don't know about the circle line cruise because when it's cold no cruise!
otherwise! anything else is perfect and I think you should take it!
