A taste of SF VT in NY May 15-18?
Posted: Fri March 14, 2003 03:47 AM UTC
Hi gang!

SF VTer here, planning on visiting bustling, exciting, living, breathing Manhattan May 15-18! I'll be staying with a long time friend (in Washington Heights, I believe) and I'm sure he'll be planning things to keep me busy. I think he's mentioned a b'day party for his best friend the night of the 17th.

Anyway, I'd love to get a chance to get together with fellow VTers who happen to be in NY during that time.

Now, not being altogether familiar with NY, I'm afraid I can't be the one to organize the trip... don't know the best spots, etc.

Think anyone's up for playing in the day on Friday the 16th or Saturday the 17th? I fly home @ 2pm on the 18th.

Cheers!
Jessica

I visited the Met MOMA when I was there last and would love to see it again. But I'd also like to see the Guggenheim and/or the Frick. As for the rest of the attractions you mentioned... I haven't been to any and would be interested in all! Definitely a night of clubs would be great. Between Brad (friend with whom I'm staying) and a friend of mine that's very well connected here, I may have some great "ins" for clubbing while there...

Tamir,

A college student and you haven't been clubbing? Shame! Maybe it'll be time to change that. Not that I'm very big in to clubbing, but it seems like the thing to do when in NY. At least once!!

Not to worry Tamir. I'm a bit of a gear-head, too.

Just thought of something I'd like to do: explore Central Park.

Central Park is amazing. We should save some time for that.
End of May is a perfect time to come. Maybe we can do... roller blades dancing?

Oh, I vote bikes! I've never been blading, believe it or not! Of course, I could always try blading for the first time, but I don't think I'll be up for blade dancing... heh heh. I LOVE the idea of renting bikes and riding around the park though. What fun!!

Rob, I'm not sure about Washington Heights. In fact, I'm not absolutely sure that's where my friend lives. I just looked at his website and his address looks like it's in Washington Heights, but that could be his studio and not his home. Not sure yet.

A gun? I bet that wouldn't go over well with the FAA security, eh? :-p

Hmmm.... well I'll find out from Brad soon enough about where he lives. He's a fashion photographer and is doing well... but of course he's artsy and he owns his own 3br flat. So... who knows?

Biking through Central Park. Tamir I am ALL over that. Sounds perfect!

I'm awaiting a reply email from Brad to find out if he's putting together any plans for us, and to know whether he'd like to join us in our VT play. You'll all love him as well. He's a wonderful character, one of the most well-traveled people I know and, of course, an amazing photographer. And what a dancer! :-)

Just found out that going on right now until May 19th at Moma QNS (in Queens) is the
"Matisse Picasso" exhibition comparing/contrasting the works of the 2 artists.

Tickets seem to be by reservation as it's popular. For more info see
