Manatees - 2018 Edition Now CLOSED (Page 25)

Side note: is the font much bigger today pretty much everywhere on the site or am I going mad?  Wait, don't answer the mad part, just the font part. 

You are not going crazy. To me, the font seems to be both larger and less readable.

I have to test when I get home, but yes, it seems bigger. I have set Chrome to be at 90%.

***crickets***

Everyone okay?

x2. My excuse is catching up from vacation and both hubbie and I are sick.

I'm here! Just been working and running and working and running. 

Also trying to plan a quick 4-day trip to NYC for my birthday! So many things to do, I gotta really prioritize. For anyone who has been a tourist in New York, what are the top 2 or 3 things you did? 

Five day work weeks suck.

Robin P.,

Have you don HITS Ocala? There was a question about it while you were gone.

When we lived in the area, we always took visitors into the city for an afternoon of wandering. Central Park, Times Square, Museums, downtown, Empire State Building, Little Italy, etc.  Just to drink it all in.  Most of the folks that were visiting us were small town people, so they were affected differently than people that are used to a big city. One touristy thing that my daughter did many years ago on a trip was ride the Hop On Hop Off bus. She enjoyed that. I would be inclined to visit the 9-11 memorial, which happened after we had left the area. The other items that I must do would be a real slice of pizza, a real deli pastrami sandwich, and (probably the Intrepid Air and Sea museum. If you have family that can be traced back, Ellis Island would probably be cool, as would Lady Liberty. 

9/11 Memorial. Top of the Rock and/or NBC studio tour.  Radio City Music Hall tour or Madison Square Garden tour (if that's your thing - I really enjoyed both).  See a show (again, if that's your thing). Ferry ride to or around Statue of Liberty.  Go for a run in Central Park.  Soooo many neat restaurants and bars.  Oh, sorry, that's more than 2 or 3.   

Like Chris said, just wandering around can be great. If you do want to go up the Empire State building I'd be prepared for very long lines and a crowded view at the top!  I did the tour when I was there for a family wedding a couple of years ago and wished I hadn't!  Bur for some it is one of the quintessential NY things to do.  I should have gone when I lived there and no one cared!

Going to a show on Broadway is something I think everyone should do and the museums and central park.  And yes, you need to eat a real slice of NY pizza and have a bagel!  Another cool way to see the city is on the circle line boat. No hopping on and off, but it is really nice.    

All of those and what Chris said. I love to run on the High Line and in Central Park. The cirlcle line boat at night is wonderful.
