re: #2 Randall Gross
Thanks, we will give it a look, would you recommend it over the Guggenheim?
Not an aficionado, but I would. Midtown’s not ‘near’ the museums, really, except for MOMA; not terribly far, but just a bit longer than walking distance.
Central Park is great to kill a couple of hours in this time of year. I particularly love a section called Hernshead, close to Natural History around W 77th st; there’s a pile of boulders on a lake with the skyline right in front of you—priceless view.
