[QUOTE="John Morrow, post: 1985652, member: 27012"] If you are into movie soundtrack CDs, you might also want to check out a little record store called Footlight Records. It's not far from the Strand and they specialize in hard-to-find soundtracks. If you want 20s-style Art Deco, you might want to take some "above the crowd" shots around Grand Central Station. People have mentioned the only two useful game stores on Manhattan. As for horror or SF theme restaruants, you might want to try either Jekyll & Hyde ([url]http://www.virtualtourist.com/vt/cd624/2/fb38/[/url]) or Mars 2112 ([url]http://www.nyctourist.com/topten_mars.htm[/url]). I've been to both. Of the two, I was more impressed by Mars 2112, which includes a short simulator ride as part of the experience. As "must see" attractions, I'd suggest: The Museum of Natural History and Hayden Planetarium (which was shown in the latest Spider Man movie). The Intrepid Air and Space Museum (a WW2-era Aircraft Carier, other ships, and airplances, including an SR-71 Blackbird). Grand Central Station (make sure you go outside and look at the Chrysler Building). The lower end of Manhattan including The World Trade Center site, Wall Street, and the large broze Bull statue down near the end of Broadway (all are within quick walking distance of each other). You should also be able to get some photos of the Brooklyn Bridge if you walk over to the East River side. The Empire State Building (close to The Complete Strategist and across from Jim Hanley's Universe comic shop) The NYC Subway System. I suggest staying in the lower half of Manhattan if you look like a tourist, though New York City is generally a lot safer than it used to be. Rockefeller Center, Radio City, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. The UN Building You can get boat rides around the island and up as far as West Point over on the Hudson River between the Javis Convention Center and the Intrepid Air and Space Museum. [/QUOTE]
