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.... ๐Ÿ˜€

So it's not just me that does this? ๐Ÿ™‚ "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!

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!!!

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

Been to Gotham cycles before and It was a bit poor if I'm honest,went to
NYC Velo is the east village this year.some very nice bikes in and some nice souvenir type t-shirts.

Katz Deli also in the east village is worth a visit too,tis were they filmed the orgasm scene in "When Harry met Sally" you know.

Tinys & the Bar upstairs in Tribecca is worth a visit.

As others have mentioned the Highline and also Chelsea Market are good to spend a couple of hours mooching round.
Nice view from the Highline below
