As all normal people, I love NY :) If you like Italian food (a MUST in NY), visit Carmine's. Delicious. Also, you must hit up a Mr. Frosty truck. When my husband and I were there last summer, we came out from H&M (near St. Patricks Cathedral)and were dying of heat! We stopped at the Mr. Frosty truck and it was perrrfect. I guess right now you won't have a problem with the heat though...temperatures are still low there! Either way, have a blast. <BR/><BR/>PS- Many say Tavern on the Green is overrated...I say, if you sit on the patio in the evening under all the custom, fabric covered lanterns, it is worth EVERY PENNY. Will go EVERY time I visit the city. <BR/><BR/>Take Care!

Yum!. And, if you are going to Hyman and Hendler.. also visit MJ Trim which is just right around the corner. I go to the Big Apple every autum and it's just one of my favorite places on the planet. :) I wish I could go with you all!

Inside the main lobby you'll see an area that is curtained off - follow the small neon burger sign (and your nose) to one of the best burgers in the city.<BR/><BR/>The Doughnut Plant - only found in NYC and Tokoyo. Hands down the best doughnuts in the world. get the tres leche doughnut! (379 Grand - bet Essex and Clinton - very near chinatown!)<BR/><BR/>Last, but not least, walk across the Brooklyn Bridge if you have the time. When you get to the other side, go to Grimaldi's Pizza! (19 Old Fulton St - just under the bridge). While you're over there, get an ice cream cone at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory - it is just down the street on the pier (looks like a mini lighthouse).<BR/><BR/>Have fun!!!<BR/><BR/>p.s. if you plan on attending church while you're here, the chapel that is in the same building as the temple will be closed for renovations as of the march 30th. Try the east side building, union square, or harlem!homemade by jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266120195022295056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-26999920867913029452008-03-10T09:43:00.000-06:002008-03-10T09:43:00.000-06:00Two baby/children's stores to add to your list (bo...Two baby/children's stores to add to your list (both in Soho):<BR/><BR/>Soho Baby (Elizabeth Street)<BR/>Simply Giggles<BR/><BR/><BR/>Have SO much fun!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-19153377999049576602008-03-10T06:21:00.000-06:002008-03-10T06:21:00.000-06:00P.S.

Your budget may not allow for 99% of their offerings but you have to check out the flower shop on the top floor and then make your way down to the tea shop/cafe in the basement. Everything is DIVINE!<BR/>And someone else mentioned Michel Cluziel chocolate in ABC Carpet. I work with a partner in Michel Cluziel & even though I'm not a big chocolate fan I can stay that their chocolate in amazing.

I recommend: <BR/><BR/>- Pearl River - already mentioned but full of wonderful Asian things including some great bebe clothes. <BR/>- In addition to Hyman Hendler there is Tinsel Trading, The Store Across the Street and M&J Trimmings all on the same block. Full of lovelies. <BR/>- So Good Jewelry - fun cheap jewelry! Cheap as in $20 is the max for anything!<BR/>- Cafe Lalo - Where You've Got Mail was filmed with the BEST frozen yogurt. Cash only <BR/>- Grand Central - My FAVORITE place in NYC. The ceiling has been restored and is amazing and they have a wonderful market with all sorts of yummy goodies. <BR/>- MOMA Gift Shop <BR/>- Anyplace downtown where you can buy $5 pashminas<BR/>Pain Quotidien - My favorite breakfast spot! <BR/><BR/>Oh, there's soooo much more.
