Quick update on this thread, today, Feb 14th, Valentine's Day, I'm on holiday just having a spot of lunch (7 hours ahead here) when the love of my life asks me to marry her !!!!!

Of course I've said yes Mr. Green so the trip to New York is now to celebrate our engagement !

per ingo's suggestion if the weathers nice walk the High line and stop off at The cull and pistol for lobster rolls

Gigino in wagner park down by battery park(ellis island boat tour stop) is nice if the weathers good sit outside and a view out to the statue of liberty

The green man for some great 'bar' time awesome selection of beers all on tap and great staff

juniors just off times square for traditional diner stuff, but mental NY cheesecake

if you have the time for the trip out there can do Katz deli famous for other things than that orgasm scene


and as muddy says , its possible to do Niagara in a day, we went with viator but not sure about short notice. I'll cost you around 450 quid a head but no regrets here, breakfast on the plane was a bit crap and its an early start.

Eataly, have a nice resturaunt on the top floor as opposed to the great food inside the store, (much nicer up top)


depending.. you can always splurge on some tickets to MSG and watch Rangers play. Club seats are pricey but very good Wink

EDZI, if it was Keens then +1 for that recommendation, again not cheap but.... Thumbs Up

For shows unless you're really picky just do the ticket booth at times square, check on the opening time and be early!

if you're walking downtown an over the bridge then Grimaldi's is good, again be early , its in a few of the guide books so does get crazy busy, but imho worth it if youre down that way


And Coney Island lol, we went just because.... hop the subway and have a dog while you walk the boardwalk. makes me smile everytime, corny and a bit blackpool but wht.

Edit, OMG someone mentioned grand central... as an attaraction its obvious but , the Oyster bar down the side ramp is great by the way , for a meal......

AND Campbells apartment (@grand central) for cocktails, they do have a dress code which may be worth your while meeting to save refusal although last time they didn't appear to be that pernickerty.
Congratulations, enjoy NYC 3 Landrovers
