Off to New York on Tuesday to surprise the other half. Have been a few times before and done the usual tourist stuff. Any recommendations of things to see or do other than the obvious?? Also, are there bike stores in Manhattan worth a visit? You never know, we may accidentally walk passed one…. 😀

Gotham Bikes if its still there.

So it’s not just me that does this? 🙂 “Oh look, a bike/ski/sailing shop….what a surprise. As we’re passing, let’s just pop in!”

Plenty of NY tips on here recently, a search will surface some for you!

High line walkway

Hope it’s less “interesting” than my last holiday there. Some bloke called Osama decided to knock down the WTC whilst we were stuck underneath it (about 1/4 mile away) in the subway!!!

I always pop into Sid’s.

You could pick up an avalanche fork cartridge for me while you’re there if you would be so kind.
