As of December 26th Brendan and I will have been dating for 3 years. We have decided to skip town for a few days and celebrate our anniversary in NJ/NYC. I have been to New York before but Brendan has not. Chances are we will only spend 1 day (maybe 2) actually in the city.
So far our agenda includes:
hanging out in Times Square/Rockefellar Center
trying to get half price TKTS tickets to a musical
making our way up the empire state building
window shopping
Anyone have any suggestion for some other MUST DO things while in NYC? I want make sure Brendan has a great first experience there. We thought about going to see lady liberty...but getitng to Ellis Island may prove to be too complicated. Brendan also wants to see Ground Zero, but I am not sure if we're going to be able to get across town easily. I am not a NY expert.
Also, any locals have any good suggestions for a nice restaurant where we can have out anniversary dinner? Nothing too fancy. Just a good place to eat.
We leave the 26th and come back late on the 28th. I cannot wait. I am in desparate need of this mini vacation.
