[edit] Things to do in New York before the meetup
- See a 1:00 p.m. (13:00) matinee performance of Mozart's opera Idomeneo at the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center. Get tickets for as cheap as $10. here.
- You could stop by St. Thomas Church on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street for the 4:00 p.m. (16:00) Choral Evensong service featuring Anglican church music performed by the men of the Choir of Men and Boys...music of Tallis and Mundy. Free.
- St. Patrick's Cathedral 50th and 5th Ave.
- Sak's Fifth Avenue department store across the street from St. Patrick's. Pretty fancy.
- Rockefeller Center. Has shopping, a 66th Floor observatory and NBC studios tour.
- Empire State Building...$16 for adults, $14 for seniors and kids 12-17, $10 for kids 6-11, military members in uniform and toddlers...free.
- Walk around in Central Park. Even rent a bike.
- Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue at East 82nd Street. While there is a "suggested admission" fee, you can get in for free. I usually give them a quarter.
- Frick Collection a smaller art museum with great old masters. More accessible than the huge Met and only 11 blocks from the meet up.
- American Museum of Natural History. For the permanent exhibits, pay-what-you-will, like the Met. "Suggested" Admission: Adult $14.00, Child $8.00, Seniors and students $10.50. The planetarium and special exhibits cost more.
- Visit 5th Avenue between 49th St. and 57th St. Fancy retail and interesting architecture. Trump Tower, Bergorf Goodman's dept. store, etc.
- Visit Madison Avenue shopping district North of 57th Street. Designer and local upscale stuff.
- Watch the homeless walk around Penn Station (which most of you from Jersey will probably come into the city through).
- Visit Times Square.
- Find new things to put on Wikipedia in the New York Public Library's main (Humanities and Social Sciences) building, located on Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets. Hang out in Bryant Park behind the library, free WiFi so you can work on Wikipedia before meetup. Free one-hour tours of the library building at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Free ice skating all day! (You can rent skates and a locker, but bring your own combination lock!)
- Go shopping on Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue in Midtown or in SoHo.
- Visit the former World Trade Center site.
- Buy knock-offs of designer handbags or expensive watches along Canal Street (Manhattan) in Chinatown
- Take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry: great views of the harbor and the Statue of Liberty, free, beer served on board (not free).
- For free (to look at) contemporary art, check out the galleries in Chelsea, Manhattan usually there are good things to see between 10th and 11th Ave. and 20-26th St., while you're there you can check out General Theological Seminary's grounds and chapel. There's also good food in the neighborhood.
