Touristing in NYC

[garyhaupt]

Going to be in The City for 10 days mid September. Been before so have seen the Twin Towers Memorial and Empire State building..I am asking for some of the neat stuff. Stuff that that isn't necessarily highlighted on the bus tours. We will be over on Staten Island as far as 'where staying'. I think we'll get a car and head west to the beach's at some point...so, please...things that stick in your mind as 'cool'.

Bronx Zoo see the animals in the cages and some (human?) animals looking at the animals in the cages.

The flea markets on Sunday morning (hells Kitchen, Brroklyn etc).

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.
