What is ONE---ONE--thing you are interested in? A work of art, so that you might want to see the Picassos and Monets in MOMA on 53rd off Fifth (also right at Rock Center, Saks, Trump Tower, St. Patrick's, Central Park), and shopping?

Or the ancient Egyptian and everything else in the Metropolitan Museum on Central Park East, with a following walk down Madison Avenue and all of the fancy-schmantzy stores?

A ramble through Soho, Chinatown, and Little Italy, with some small art galleries, boutiques, and a Dean and Deluca's thrown in?

Way down to see Trinity Church, the 9/11 site (not museum, which is further west) at St. Paul's Chapel, Wall Street, and the mall-like South Street Seaport?

Music? Check out BB King's on 42nd between 8th and 7th.

57th St W has Carnegie Hall, the Russian Tearoom, great small stores, and is near Columbus Circle/Central Park W.

Please DO NOT DO A "TUSSAUD'S WAX MUSEUM" OR NBA STORE!

DO THE ONE THING YOU'LL REGRET NOT DOING!


(I've been, a lot; 3 times over this Christmas, e.g. Many times for B'way last two years.)
