New York would be amazing. Street Vendors would also be amazing, hahaha. I can't even fathom a place like New York, is it like five cities within a bigger area? 'Cause if not, that's one city with twice the population of my country. Wtf.

What might be confusing you is it's 'split up' into five burroughs.

So it's not like, five cities, it's just split up into five sections.

Queens
The Bronx
Manhattan
Brooklyn
Staten Island

there's actually an H&M right in union sq.!

uhg...i love tourists! i want to share all the good stores with you!!! i want to take you all over!!! lol! the city is my LIFE!

and duh...you have to go to times square....because you wouldn't be a proper tourist if you didn't! stand in the middle of the street, take pictures in your "i heart ny" t-shirt. eat "nuts 4 nuts" (which smell way better than they taste...believe me) BE A TOURIST!

you can also go on the statue of liberty boat ride, see the brooklyn promenade..etc, those are pretty touristy. brooklyn promenade is nice though.

last time i was on the liberty cruise i got one (...which was when i was in the 4th grade. i just graduated highschool.) i think you can buy them at any of the tourist shops. just walk up and down times sq, every shop is like, weird random electronics/ tourist gear
oh yeah, and the hershey's store. its so random...

I just had this list typed out for you, but my computer deleted it. I'll redo it again sometime.

Subject: Re: NEW YOOOOORK! Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:08 pm

Okay, I live like 20 minutes away from New York, so I'm really excited about sharing my "knowledge" of the city.

Soho has fantastic shopping- some are expensive, a lot are cheap. Chill has Kiki-ish clothing for a great price. That's just off of Canal.

Canal Street itself is fun, good designer knockoffs, glass pipes (doubt your after those though) and cheap electronics. You can get gold teeth made too, haha. Oh, and if a little chinese lady comes up to you all "Handbag?! Gucci? Prada? Coach?" and you want really good knockoffs (like 10 times better than on the street) follow her. Don't freak if she takes you to a shitty salon and leads you up a narrow staircase, its all routine.

If you want authentic just-off-the-boat Italian food, Little Italy starts at Canal and Mulberry. I would recommend one of the smaller restaurants, they are always the best. They have good bakeries if you want to try pastries. Don't dance with the Italian men that may ask you, unless you want something grabbed.

Times Square I could go on about, but I'm sure its in your guide book. Look for the two-story H&M(not exactly in Times Square, but close) and of course the Macy's. Oh, and definitely check out the Manhattan Mall. The store Strawberry is cute, and theres a shoe store in there that I got a pair of bright yellow boots for $15.

I doubt your interested in Broadway, but I would recommend going to a show. Spring Awakening is really popular right now. (I'm a broadway junkie, I had to put it in).

I think I covered the lot of it. Its early in the morning so my brain's still tired.

Enjoy!
