bump - thoughts/ideas anyone?

Itenary - Thoughts Please

So, you%26#39;re coming in on Thursday from the UK and after being awake for almost 24 hours are going to sit through a Broadway production?

Friday seems a bit ambitious and you are bouncing uptown and downtown if you follow your itinerary in the order listed.

Some of the items listed KIEHLS %26amp; CRISPO - what are these?

Of course I%26#39;m sure everything on your list is doable, just remember that traveling from place to place takes time, as well as how busy certain locales are and the weather is always a factor, be FLEXIBLE - if you don%26#39;t get to see/do all you wanted, you can always come back.

Thanks Poppo.

Being up 24hrs - no problem - work hard = play hard ;)

Thursday - doable - take a nap after arrival if you can before dinner and show.

Friday - you may wish to bucket each item so you reduce traveling north %26amp; south.

Midtown bucket (62 to 34th St)-

ESB has long lines mid-day so either early or late evening.

Macys (one blk from ESB), Bloomingdales are all midtown so keep together - however, both stores are extensive and cheap with the exchange rate from GBP so verify you allocate enough time.

I might incorporate Grand Central Station in this because it is between Macys/ESB %26amp; Bloomies but on the East side.

Return to hotel with bags before venturing onwards or save this until last.

Village/Lower East Side area (14th to E. Houston) -

Kiehls on 3rd Ave is below 14th st

Katz%26#39;s deli is E. Houston which is 1st St on the East side

Maybe wish to include a walk by Union Sq on the way to Kiehls.

Lower Manhattan (financial/WTC) -

Ground Zero / Century 21 - same area across the street.

Wall St - about 3-5 blks South of above

You may wish to incorporate Brooklyn Bridge on this trip downtown because you will be in the area and simple walk from Ground Zero/C21 or Wall St.

Don%26#39;t know how much you plan to shop but incorporate time to get back to your hotel to drop off items if you are a shopaholic - as you don%26#39;t wish to visit busy restaurants or small deli with dozens of bags in tow.

If you obtain a MetroCard - unlimited FunDay $7 - it will make transportation by subway or bus very easy back and forth and the items you miss. I will say I think your Friday is very ambitious as I write this out - I think you will run out of hours if you enjoy shopping at these gigantic stores.

Not sure of flight on Sunday but perhaps move UN to Friday (also midtown) and remove all Lower Manhattan related items until Sunday AM. As I could waste an entire morning in Lower Manhattan at Grd0, Bklyn Bridge, Wall St, C21 %26amp; South St Seaport and I live local.

RooseveltL - ';bucket'; the locations! Love it!
