Urgent: Fun Things to do in NYC...
Discussion
...NOT SHOPPING RELATED
Before Anna wakes up and demands to spend the whole day on 5th, does anyone have any good ideas on what to do in New York on a cold and snowy Monday in April ? Motoring related ideas strongly, but not exclusively, encouraged. Thank you
(This is clever technology-apparently I am connecting through the internet to our pc at home's firewall (whatever that means) and then to PH, because the PDA will not connect directly itself. Confused ? Oh yes

Helicopter ride, plenty to choose from between 15 and 45 minutres IIRC
Brunch at the Plaza
Walk through Central Park
See Grand Central Station (believe me - it's worth it)
See the Statue of Liberty
MOMA/Guggenheim
Dinner in Little Italy or Chelsea
Lunch in Chinatown (mmmm - dim sum) and/or a railcar diner
Greyhound bus tour of the sights
Walk down Broadway/Wall Street/5th Avenue (from the 60s)
Should be some attractive ideas in there

The cupping room on West Broadway for breakfast - cheap, bad service, good food - but terribly New York and fun ... then a wander around Soho... Maybe cab it uptown to the skating rink in Central Park?? and then into the Met Museum to see the snow through the Egyptian exhibition and the temple they pulled out of the river and set up in whole in there (you don't have to pay they just suggest you do) - its lovely...then a brisk walk back down Fifth avenue??
Sorry if its not to your taste but thats my favourite things/suggestions...

Private breakfast in the hotel's revolving restaurant (free if you ask nicely) !
One of the museums this morning (we're staying W46th and Broadway) any suggestions for one we could walk to and maybe get lunch nearby?
Skating rink at the Rockefeller this evening
Dinner at the Oyster Bar in GCS ? Do you know anymore details robkola ? Whoozit ? Opening times, phone no. or url for their website would be great.
I can't find a helicopter co. that is running at the moment
I've been in a chopper over NY, but Anna hasn't and it's a great idea, but they are all citing either 9/11 or the weather

Oh, if you're skating in Rockefeller Plaza tonight, pop up to the Rainbow Room for a cocktail afterwards (say hi to my colleagues on the way up), it has some of the best views of town.

Absolutely not
Not sure if you are into Clubbing or not, having not grabbed the Concept of marriage i wouldnt know if you are still allowed to club these days, i can throughly recomend Club Milo/Milo, very good club, used to pop up there a fair bit when i lived in Dallas.
If you wnat the whole sex and the city vibe check out TOWN, a great bar at the Chambers Hotel on 56th St. Tres Chic.
Ice skating in central park is a must. I was over there last month and I'm gutted I missed it. See a show on Broadway? Buy a tacky trinket in times square? Get hugely drunk in an "Irish" bar and ask them if they could at least buy another U2 CD rather than play the same bloody one over and over and over and over...
Think twice about going to "Ground Zero" - it gave me the willies.
Don't bother with the statue of liberty - they won't let you in and you get searched/metal detectored just to get on the ferry to liberty island (what the point of that was I don't know, as they didn't find my knife).
Take a jumper, it was -13 degrees C.
