Not me, sadly, and nothing to do with IT products of the same name!
A good (female) friend of mine is 30 next year, and is booked to go to Noo Yoik City for, I think, 6 days this time next year to celebrate. A few folk I work with have come up with an idea to get her something a little out of the ordinary as a gift, and someone thought that a non-touristy, yet fun and interesting, activity/visit/whatever might be possible.
Problem is, no-one we work with has ever been to New York, so we're a wee bit short of ideas; therefore my question is, does anyone here who lives in NYC, or has visited the city, any thoughts? Ideally something bookable from here (U.K.), and not too expensive - we all work in the lower echelons of the NHS remember, so not a lot of spare $$$!
So far, I know she's planning to visit Times Square, skate in Central Park (weather permitting) go to a show, go up the Empire State building and go to Ground Zero. Also planning a trip on the Staten Island ferry (?) and wants to drive over the Brooklyn Bridge.
So, any ideas will be gratefully received, and if you have web links to any ideas you may have, all the better.
Thanks in advance to all you wonderful Pixie folk!
