If one is in NYC for just 2 days, one packs in as much fun as possible. First stop, Saturday morning in Central Park. The radio-controlled sailboat reminded me of Stuart Little, and now I think I need to reread that great book. Watching the road fill with bikers, we decided to join them and rent bikes for an hour. We made it around most of the 6-mile perimeter and riding there is a bit more harrowing than driving in Boston. But, it was great fun to see more of the park that way.
One reason to stay in midtown is the proximity to the Theater District. Upon the recommendations of several friends, we chose to see Billy Elliot at the Imperial Theatre. Wow. What a great show! We loved the troop of kid dancers as well as the little star of the show. Hal said that he wouldn't have picked this show but was really glad that I did. He said I could choose the next show, but it will have to be in LA.
Saturdays from 5:45-7:45 is "pay what you want" at the Guggenheim, so we topped off our day visiting this Frank Lloyd Wright-designed museum. The last time we were in NYC (1992 and 3) the Guggenheim was closed for renovation, so this was a first visit for us. We especially enjoyed the Kandinsky exhibit.
