Touristing in NYC

The original Customs House in the Battery-Manhattan (they have restored it and it is a neat look into the history of NY and USA)
Metropolitan Museum of Art--Pretty good even if you aren't into that art sort of thing
American Museum of Natural History--Lots of different species and habitats.
The Guggenheim-Art lover's special
Brooklyn has some history museums, too. You might want to check a local guide book to pick out the best.

Circle line (boat) tour "Red & White Fleet" - easy parking.
Good food and drink on board.

The narrators have great info on everything - access to same, where to go, how to get there, cost/s (best deals) etc.

Easy and convenient for Q and A on whatever rings your chimes.

Sagamore Hill house (Teddy Roosevelt) is in the area.
and West Point...but I don't know if tourists are allowed.

We'll do Brighton Beach and Coney Island, again. Get a Nathans Dog. Back to Little Italy in the middle of the night for cannolis.

Mc Sorely's Old Ale House. Oldest bar in NYC (even stayed open thru prohibition by making ale in the basement) Last time I was there 1992 they still heated the place with an old franklin wood stove, The walls are literally wallpapered with old newspapers, as you walk around you can read them on stories like "Lindy makes it" or "Japs surrender"
A piece of Americana in right in Manhatten 15 E. 7th st.

This is right up my alley....thanks.
