[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all the tips. We had a great time!

Were staying in Brooklyn. One day we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, explored Chinatown (a self-guided food tour), and went to the Phantom of the Opera. 
 We also went to Central Park, and spent a day at the Natural History Museum (Crazy crowded, because NYC public schools have the same spring break we do.) Also went to Harlem, at breakfast at Sylvia's, saw the Apollo theatre (I wanted to do a guided walking tour, but they were sold out.) From there, took the bus downtown, because we wanted to see more of the city and were tired of the subway, and then took the Roosevelt Island Tram (thanks for that suggestion.) It was really nice to do, and not something I would have known about without this forum. Went to the Whitney, where the kids could participate in an art-making activity, and the biennial is underway. That was fun. Then walked the Highline, and brought up lunch from the Chelsea Market.

One day we stayed in Brooklyn and took a very long walk through several neighborhoods and made some interesting stops.

Thanks for the follow-up post!  I was one of the contributors and I always wonder what people do ... Sounds like you had a great time![/quote]

We did, though I've visited NYC and brooklyn multiple times over the last few decades and never has it felt so exhausting in terms of just the sheer number of people out and about! But that's probably partly due to changes in the city (safer, more tourists) and partly because the weather was beautiful, and also it was spring break for NYC schools. [/quote]
