RE: What to buy in NY?

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm only there for 4 nights/3 days (lining up baby sitters, flights and
hotels was a challenge!), so we're (well, I am) mostly there for a bit of
shopping, a bit of sightseeing (we're staying near the WTC site/ferry
port),
and some good food. I've got a few upgrade vouchers to use up on the
flights, so I'm really looking forward to it, which is not something I'd
normally say when flying United to the US.

If someone could organise some snow when we're there then that will keep my
wife happy whilst I go shopping for gadgets.

Pete,

Great time to go!

Great bargains to be had!

Isn't it about 1.84 dollars to the pound?

Got to say I am glad I am not going ... because I know that I would max out
my credit card!

Go and see the new MOMO, Guggenheim, Empire State building, take the ferry
to the Statue of liberty. There is really so much to see it all depends on
how long you are there for!

I was there for about 1 month many years ago and I went out every day to
see
new stuff! I suggest you get the "New York City - The Rough
Guide" it will
give you plenty of info.

Hi All

I've just arranged a last minute trip to NY for some R&R and, of
course,
shopping!

I'll be looking for various iPOD bits and pieces, and maybe a watch or two,
jeans, trainers, DVDs, peanut butter M&Ms etc.  Any other
recommendations of
good bargains to buy (HA-related of course!).  I'm limited to the shops in
NY, unfortunately I've got no opportunity to buy in advance over the web
and
collect when I'm there.  I'm in the process of building my next house
(loooong way to go), so things like networked/wireless AV, HA switches
(c-bus??) would all be interesting too, though I'm limited to what can be
squeezed into a couple of cases.  Obviously I'll be there with SWMBO, so if
there are any recommendations on what to do in NY (our first time there),
then I'd love to hear them off list.

Cheers


Pete
