Stephanie, and I went on a mother/daughter trip to NYC last weekend! It was so fun! It was short trip...we got there about 5:00 on Friday and came home late afternoon on Monday...so we had 2-1/2 days there. But we were able to see alot and do some fun shopping. First night we stayed on the Jersey side across from Manhattan. We got some great skyline shots of Manhattan. The next two nights we stayed in Manhattan in the theater district/Times Square area so that after the theater, we wouldn't have to trek back over to Jersey on a subway or by taxi late at night. Taxi's from Manhattan to Jersey cost around $70.00 to $80.00 one way and I don't think it would be wise to ride the subway at midnight. It was fun, our hotel was a block away from the theater where we saw "Wicked". Fantastic show...the girl who played Galinda was the same one who had played in the traveling show here in Omaha last year. We were also only several blocks from Times Square and went there after the play. It is so crazy there with tons of people but it was fun. We also were able to go up in the Empire State Building, ride a ferry to the Statue of Liberty Island, Ellis Island and see the World Trade Center site. We bought passes for the Hop on/Hop off tour buses which was great because you can get off at the areas you want and then hop back on another passing bus. It lets you see areas that riding the subway wouldn't let you see. We shopped at two H&M's, rode Macy's old wooden elevators, and even went in to FAo Schwarz Toy Store. I loved being able to have fun with my daughter and we had a wonderful time!
