<div>The idea of this trip is to fuse some pool & snooker action, with the historical sites & modern sounds that the 'city of dreaming spires' has to offer.<br />
<br />
== Who's going on this thing?==<br />
<br />
* Matt<br />
<br />
* Elin not Graham<br />
<br />
* Neil<br />
<br />
* Hopefully Tim and some other people...<br />
<br />
* Not Marc or his girlfriend :-(<br />
<br />
== When to go:==<br />
<br />
One weekend should do the trick - to get there on a Friday, and come back on the Saturday/ Sunday. <br />
<br />
Let's go on Friday 21st March 2008.<br />
<br />
== What to do:==<br />
<br />
=== During the day: ===<br />
<br />
- ''Snooker &/or Pool'' - <br />
<br />
* Colours (pool & snooker) 28-31 St. Ebbes St, OX1 1PU, tel. 01865 792793 <br />
<br />
* A1 Pool Hall, 10 Crown St, OX4 1QG, tel. 01865 244300<br />
<br />
- ''Punting on the Thames'' - There are two central boat rental places: Magdalen Bridge boathouse (01865 202643), beside the Cherwell at the east end of the High Street; and the Thames boat station at Folly Bridge (01865 243421) - (open on fri 21/ sat 22 - 10am to 6pm), a five- to ten-minute stroll south of the centre along St Aldates. In summer, the queues soon build up at both, so try to get there early in the morning – at around 10am. At both boathouses, expect to pay about £12 per hour for a boat plus a £30 deposit, and remember that sometimes ID is required. Punts can take a maximum of five passengers – four sitting and one punting. Call the boathouses for opening times – which vary – or if there are any doubts about the weather. Both boathouses also rent out chauffeured punts (about £25 for 30min) and pedaloes, which cost less, but aren't as much fun.<br />
<br />
- ''Covered Market'', [http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtour/coveredmarket/ Virtual Tour], High Street. Oxford has the oldest covered market in England. Unusual small shops, including the first '''Ben's Cookies!!!''' shop (open 9.15am to 5.30pm Mon to Sat), a chocolate shop, cake shop, fine butchers, hat shop, florists, glassware, and charming cafes. <br />
<br />
- [http://www.roughguides.co.uk/website/travel/destination/content/default.aspx?titleid=54&xid=idh569265560_0271 ''Christ Church College''] - (Mon– Sat 9am–5pm, Sun 1–5pm; £4.50; 01865 276492), founded in 1525 by Cardinal Wolsey as "Cardinal College", it's distinctive Tom Tower was added by Christopher Wren in 1681 to house the weighty "Great Tom" bell. The tower lords it over the main entrance of what is Oxford's largest and arguably most prestigious college, but visitors have to enter from the south, a signed five-minute walk away – just past the tiny War Memorial Garden and from the top of Christ Church Meadow. Albert Einstein, William Gladstone and no fewer than twelve other British prime ministers studied here. <br />
<br />
- ''Magdalen College'' - eastern end of the High Street, tel 01865 276000. 1 October-21 June 1PM-6PM or dusk (whichever is earlier), 25 Jun-30 Sep noon-6PM, closed 22-24 June. Founded in 1458 by William of Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, Magdalen is frequently the first college seen by many visitors if coming into Oxford on the London Road, its high tower serving as a much-loved landmark. Significant Magdalen alumni include CS Lewis, Oscar Wilde, Seamus Heaney and Edward Gibbon. Visitor shop and afternoon café. Maximum 20 people in a group. Adults £3, seniors, children, students £2.<br />
<br />
- ''The Radcliffe Camera'' - (no public access) A mighty rotunda, built between 1737 and 1748<br />
<br />
- ''[http://www.ashmolean.org/ The Ashmolean]'' - (tues to sat 10am to 5pm; sun 12pm to 5pm, bank holidays 10am to 5pm)<br />
<br />
=== Nightlife: ===<br />
<br />
'''Restaurants:''' <br />
<br />
''Aziz'' - Cowley Road - Best curries in the South East. [http://www.britishcurryaward.co.uk/pressRelease.html British Curry Awards]<br />
<br />
'''Pubs:''' <br />
<br />
- ''Turf Tavern'', 4 Bath Place (off New College Lane), +44 01865 243 235. 11AM-11PM, Su 12noon-10.30PM. A well-hidden pub, but also well known by locals. Good range of beers. Nice beer garden with coal fires where you can roast marshmallows on chilly evenings in spring and autumn. This ancient pub (a favourite with Inspector Morse) is an unmissable Oxford institution that many consider to be the best pub in the city - in the summer watch out for drenched students enjoying the end of their exams. Pint £2.50. <br />
<br />
- ''the Eagle and Child'', 49 St Giles. Popularly known as "the bird and baby", this pub was the frequent haunt of the Inklings, a group of Oxford literary dons that included CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien <br />
<br />
- ''The Jericho Tavern'', Jericho. Great place for a drink and maybe some food. Also famous for being the place that Radiohead played their first show. <br />
<br />
- ''Head of the River'', Folly Bridge, +44 01865 721600. Perfectly located, right on the Thames. Follow St Aldate's down past Christ Church college until you reach the river (the pub's on the far bank). This place buzzes on summer evenings, when the large garden gets extremely busy. <br />
<br />
'''Clubs:'''<br />
<br />
- ''Po Na Na's'', 13-15 Magdalen Street. Don't be put off by the inconspicuous entrance - below is a relatively small, mysteriously decorated (apparently its Moroccan), funky cave, with great not-too-loud music, and an unusual and relaxed atmosphere. Cocktails 2 for 1 between 9 and 10:30.<br />
<br />
- ''Maxwell's'', 36-37 Queen Street, 01865 242192. 11:30AM-2AM daily. Bar and restaurant by day; cocktails and nightclub by evening. Claims to have the longest bar in Oxford. £3-£5 cover (after 10PM).<br />

<div>Welcome!<br />
<br />
Welcome to Airduct Administration. In this course we will be discussing Airduct neutrality; airduct hygiene, health and safety; airducts and spam; and spam spam airducts and spam.<br />
<br />
Obviously, airduct administration is metaphorical, and actually this is a page about all forms of ventilation. First for some definitions. Someone who speaks through an airduct and you can't see their lips move is known as a Ventiloquist. <br />
<br />
An Airduct must never EVER be confused with an Air Duck. Though this is a common mistake (particularly use of 'Duct tape' and 'Duck tape') an Air Duck is in fact a flying duck. This must not be confused with a flying fuck. What this page is not about, is flying fucks. Back to ventilation...<br />
<br />
That's enough of a cover I think. On to the real reason we're here <_< >_> <br />
<br />
Operation Airduct: New York New York<br />
<br />
Let's twalk about nu Yawk...<br />
<br />
Signing off, Agent Air Duck<br />
<br />
Mission Brief: Intelligence have just informed us that there are some air-ducts in New York which require, well.... administering; thus necessitating a trip. Several good ducks have died to bring us this information....<br />

==Who's going anyway?==<br />
<br />
Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />
<br />
- Matt<br />
<br />
- Elin<br />
<br />
==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />
- Early September (just before Elin goes back to uni)<br />
<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />
<br />
Times between Sat 1st Sept and Fri 21st Sept.<br />
<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />
Fri 7th - > Mon 17th<br />
<br />
Mon 10th -> Thurs 20th<br />
<br />
Either way, I would have thought 10 days would be enough to do the job.<br />
<br />
==Where to Stay==<br />
Possibilities..<br />
<br />
[http://gershwinhotel.com/english/site1.html The Gershwin Hotel] - a hotel/youth hostel. Obviously the hotel part of it is more expensive than the youth hostel.<br />
<br />
[http://www.hotelbelleclaire.com/rooms.html#rates The Hotel Belle Claire] - Economy Room (shared bath) $109-$189 apparenly very well situated. <br />
<br />
[http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/usa/new-york-city/ Hostels in NYC]<br />
<br />
Barbara's recommendation: The Edison Hotel (Times Sq.) - is a 'lovely hotel' -sounds expensive I think $230/ room/ night is too 'lovely' for our requirements, we are only airduct administrators after all!<br />
<br />
I think we're looking at a youth hostel situation, perhaps around $35 pppn (not including taxes and this room occupancy nonsence of $3.50/room/night) ~ £215pppn<br />
<br />
On the Youth Hostel front, [http://www.whitehousehotelofny.com/ this] looks like a good one. We could get a 'split double' (private room with twin beds), at $55 per room per night (not incl. taxes). Great location (in East village, close to Broadway). Small rooms, and walls made of cardboard, shared bath/ shower facilities, I think these downsides are OK. A hotel would be too expensive, I'm tempted just to go for this one to be honest.<br />
<br />
If we have to go for a hotel, some (relatively) cheapies are: Riverside Tower, Thirty One, and Murray Hill Inn.<br />
<br />
We are now booked to stay at the following hotel/ hostel, for the entirity of our stay. Reservation ref. 2164517.<br />
<br />
Bowery's Whitehouse Hotel<br />
340 BOWERY<br />
NEW YORK, NY 10012<br />

<br />
==What to do==<br />
<br />
There are some suggestions in They Might Be Giants chronicle 'New York City' which outlines places most seriously affected by the Ventilation system meltdown:<br />
<br />
"Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's*<br />
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**<br />
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center<br />
Wish I was there"<br />
<br />
With this in mind, I have determined the most seriously affected areas as follows:<br />
<br />
'''Brooklyn:'''<br />
*"Take a trip to Brooklyn. Seriously. If you like cheesecake - go to Junior's. You won't be disappointed" -hmm...cheesecake..<br />
<br />
*Brooklyn Bridge - Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, have an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory at Fulton Ferry Landing – perhaps the best place to take pictures of downtown skyscrapers.<br />
<br />
*Coney Island<br />
<br />
'''LOWER Manhattan ("Downtown"):'''<br />
*The Battery, or [http://nyc2006.free.fr/Battery%20Park/slides/Battery%20Park%202.html 'Battery Park'] - trips to see the Statue of Liberty depart from Battery Park so...<br />
<br />
*[http://www.statueofliberty.org/Visiting_the_Statue_of_Liberty.html Statue of Liberty] - little known fact, The statue of liberty is actually in..New Jersey! But the New Yorkers don't advertise that very loudly...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*"Go downtown at South Street Seaport and get some half-price Broadway tickets. You can't come and NOT see a play."<br />
<br />
* Little Italy: Someone suggested the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_San_Gennaro Feast of San Gennaro] which is in mid-September and lasts for 11 days.<br />
<br />
*Chinatown and SoHo.<br />
<br />
*Other places of interest; City Hall, Wall Street, World Trade Center site, and the Woolworth Building.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.newyork.com/attraction/panorama/tour6a.html Greenwich Village], including Magnolia Bakery - apparently does the "best cupcakes in the world", but we'll be the judge of that. <br />
<br />
'''MIDDLE Manhattan:'''<br />
<br />
[[Image:55_Central_Park_West_-_3.jpg|right|No-one steps on a church in (Peter Venkman's) town. (That includes you Mr. Stay Puft!)]]<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/shandor.html The Shandor Building] - Built by Dr. Ivo Shandor, a medical doctor who performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. After the First World War, he decided mankind was too sick to survive. He designed and built the building that stands at 55 Central Park West with a specialized roof cap designed to act as a telemetry tracker for supernatural energy. Its purpose was to focus that energy and create a doorway into another world…the world of Gozer the Traveler!<br />
<br />
The ventilation system of this building has never fully recovered since the Marshmallow incident of 1984 - As he approached the Shandor Building, Mr. Stay Puft’s cute demeanor soon changed to that of pure evil. He overcame the problem of the church next to the building and in his way by simply stepping on it, pissing Peter off to no end. Ray finally overcame his shock and fear and led the boys in a charge to start blasting their pastry foe.<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Public_Library The Library] - The largest non-academic library in the United States. It is housed in a beautiful building by Carrer and Hastings, which is seen as the greatest example of Beaux Arts architecture. Business is now booming, despite the paranormal incident (also) of 1984. <br />
<br />
It was just another day in the life of Alice the librarian…that is until she met a ghost. Getting wind of it, Dr. Raymond Stantz immediately snatched up his partner, Dr. Peter Venkman, from their University lab and met up with Dr. Egon Spengler at the library to investigate. They soon learned, however, that they bit off more than they could chew as the old lady ghost they were looking for turned into a roaring monster. The experience wasn’t a complete waste, fortunately, as braniac Egon received readings on one of his devices that told him it would be possible to trap and hold ghosts.<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/university.html Columbia University] - Home to prominent parapsychologists: Egon Spengler, Peter Venkman & Ray Stance before they started their own business<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_Cathedral%2C_New_York St. Patrick's Cathedral] - The largest Catholic cathedral in the United States.<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant_Row_%28New_York_City%29 Restaurant Row] in Hell's Kitchen - In addition to the usual American, Caribbean, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Irish, Mexican and Thai restaurants, there are multiple Afghan, Argentine, Ethiopian, Peruvian, Turkish, and Vietnamese restaurants.<br />
<br />
*Broadway - Can we see a show, paint the town red, and then Blame it all on the nights on Broadway, Singin' them sweet sounds, To that crazy, crazy town...?<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Center Rockefeller Center] This huge centre needs some attention. Just take a look at this: [http://www.rockefellercenter.com/viewer/viewer.html RC Camera] - as you can see, really rather serious. I think it might be a good idea also to check out the top of the centre to get a good overview of the city: [http://www.topoftherocknyc.com/ODTStatic/site.htm Top View]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.esbnyc.com/index2.cfm?CFID=19444316&CFTOKEN=12878152 Empire State Building] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatiron_Building Flatiron Building].<br />
<br />
'''UPPER Manhattan:'''<br />
*[http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/ Times Square] - (apparently there's a Toys 'R' Us in Times Square that has an indoor ferris wheel among other things. A couple of people have suggested this...how random!)<br />

<br />
*Chrysler Building<br />
<br />
*"Check out the [http://www.amnh.org/ Museum of Natural History]"<br />
<br />
*"A Walk Through Harlem. Harlem is worth going to... Sylvia's is the standby, but there's also Sunday Brunch with the Harlem Gospel Choir..."<br />
<br />
<br />
*[http://www.nycvisit.com/content/index.cfm?pagePkey=429 Map of Manhattan]<br />
<br />
*[http://wikitravel.org/en/NYC WikiTravel] have some great (and numerous) ideas for attractions and whatnot.<br />
<br />
==Harlem Gospel Brunch==<br />
<br />
[http://www.bbkingblues.com/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=2610 Harlem Gospel Show]<br />
<br />
[http://www.bbkingblues.com/brunch/index.shtml Brunch Menu]<br />
<br />
It costs around £20 for the show and the brunch and is not *actually* in Harlem, but Times Square. <br />
<br />
Another option could be going to Harlem and slipping into any random church and then eating at Sylvia's afterwards. Or we could not do it at all if you don't want to. What thinkest thou?<br />

===Travel Insurance===<br />
<br />
Might be wise to get travel insurance. The post office is generally the bench-mark place, from whence to try to find a cheaper quote. I think I used Halifax when I went to Mex/ Cuba. - Matt<br />

<hr />
<div>Welcome!<br />
<br />
Welcome to Airduct Administration. In this course we will be discussing Airduct neutrality; airduct hygiene, health and safety; airducts and spam; and spam spam airducts and spam.<br />
<br />
Obviously, airduct administration is metaphorical, and actually this is a page about all forms of ventilation. First for some definitions. Someone who speaks through an airduct and you can't see their lips move is known as a Ventiloquist. <br />
<br />
An Airduct must never EVER be confused with an Air Duck. Though this is a common mistake (particularly use of 'Duct tape' and 'Duck tape') an Air Duck is in fact a flying duck. This must not be confused with a flying fuck. What this page is not about, is flying fucks. Back to ventilation...<br />
<br />
That's enough of a cover I think. On to the real reason we're here <_< >_> <br />
<br />
Operation Airduct: New York New York<br />
<br />
Let's twalk about nu Yawk...<br />
<br />
Signing off, Agent Air Duck<br />
<br />
Mission Brief: Intelligence have just informed us that there are some air-ducts in New York which require, well.... administering; thus necessitating a trip. Several good ducks have died to bring us this information....<br />

<br />
==Who's going anyway?==<br />
<br />
Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />
<br />
- Matt<br />
<br />
- Elin<br />
<br />
==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />
- Early September (just before Elin goes back to uni)<br />
<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />
<br />
Times between Sat 1st Sept and Fri 21st Sept.<br />
<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />
Fri 7th - > Mon 17th<br />
<br />
Mon 10th -> Thurs 20th<br />
<br />
Either way, I would have thought 10 days would be enough to do the job.<br />
<br />
==Where to Stay==<br />
Possibilities..<br />
<br />
[http://gershwinhotel.com/english/site1.html The Gershwin Hotel] - a hotel/youth hostel. Obviously the hotel part of it is more expensive than the youth hostel.<br />
<br />
[http://www.hotelbelleclaire.com/rooms.html#rates The Hotel Belle Claire] - Economy Room (shared bath) $109-$189 apparenly very well situated. <br />
<br />
[http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/usa/new-york-city/ Hostels in NYC]<br />
<br />
Barbara's recommendation: The Edison Hotel (Times Sq.) - is a 'lovely hotel' -sounds expensive<br />
<br />
==What to do==<br />
<br />
There are some suggestions in They Might Be Giants chronicle 'New York City' which outlines places most seriously affected by the Ventilation system meltdown:<br />
<br />
"Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's*<br />
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**<br />
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center<br />
Wish I was there"<br />
<br />
With this in mind, I have determined the most seriously affected areas as follows:<br />
<br />
'''Brooklyn:'''<br />
*"Take a trip to Brooklyn. Seriously. If you like cheesecake - go to Junior's. You won't be disappointed" -hmm...cheesecake..<br />
<br />
*Brooklyn Bridge - Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, have an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory at Fulton Ferry Landing – perhaps the best place to take pictures of downtown skyscrapers.<br />
<br />
*Coney Island<br />
<br />
'''LOWER Manhattan ("Downtown"):'''<br />
*The Battery, or [http://nyc2006.free.fr/Battery%20Park/slides/Battery%20Park%202.html 'Battery Park'] - trips to see the Statue of Liberty depart from Battery Park so...<br />
<br />
*[http://www.statueofliberty.org/Visiting_the_Statue_of_Liberty.html Statue of Liberty] - little known fact, The statue of liberty is actually in..New Jersey! But the New Yorkers don't advertise that very loudly...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*"Go downtown at South Street Seaport and get some half-price Broadway tickets. You can't come and NOT see a play."<br />
<br />
* Little Italy: Someone suggested the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_San_Gennaro Feast of San Gennaro] which is in mid-September and lasts for 11 days.<br />
<br />
*Chinatown and SoHo.<br />
<br />
*Other places of interest; City Hall, Wall Street, World Trade Center site, and the Woolworth Building.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.newyork.com/attraction/panorama/tour6a.html Greenwich Village], including Magnolia Bakery - apparently does the "best cupcakes in the world", but we'll be the judge of that. <br />
<br />
'''MIDDLE Manhattan:'''<br />
<br />
[[Image:55_Central_Park_West_-_3.jpg|right|No-one steps on a church in (Peter Venkman's) town. (That includes you Mr. Stay Puft!)]]<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/shandor.html The Shandor Building] - Built by Dr. Ivo Shandor, a medical doctor who performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. After the First World War, he decided mankind was too sick to survive. He designed and built the building that stands at 55 Central Park West with a specialized roof cap designed to act as a telemetry tracker for supernatural energy. Its purpose was to focus that energy and create a doorway into another world…the world of Gozer the Traveler!<br />
<br />
The ventilation system of this building has never fully recovered since the Marshmallow incident of 1984 - As he approached the Shandor Building, Mr. Stay Puft’s cute demeanor soon changed to that of pure evil. He overcame the problem of the church next to the building and in his way by simply stepping on it, pissing Peter off to no end. Ray finally overcame his shock and fear and led the boys in a charge to start blasting their pastry foe.<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Public_Library The Library] - The largest non-academic library in the United States. It is housed in a beautiful building by Carrer and Hastings, which is seen as the greatest example of Beaux Arts architecture. Business is now booming, despite the paranormal incident (also) of 1984. <br />
<br />
It was just another day in the life of Alice the librarian…that is until she met a ghost. Getting wind of it, Dr. Raymond Stantz immediately snatched up his partner, Dr. Peter Venkman, from their University lab and met up with Dr. Egon Spengler at the library to investigate. They soon learned, however, that they bit off more than they could chew as the old lady ghost they were looking for turned into a roaring monster. The experience wasn’t a complete waste, fortunately, as braniac Egon received readings on one of his devices that told him it would be possible to trap and hold ghosts.<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/university.html Columbia University] - Home to prominent parapsychologists: Egon Spengler, Peter Venkman & Ray Stance before they started their own business<br />
<br />

<br />
*Broadway - Can we see a show, paint the town red, and then Blame it all on the nights on Broadway, Singin' them sweet sounds, To that crazy, crazy town...?<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Center Rockefeller Center] This huge centre needs some attention. Just take a look at this: [http://www.rockefellercenter.com/viewer/viewer.html RC Camera] - as you can see, really rather serious.

<br />
It costs around £20 for the show and the brunch and is not *actually* in Harlem, but Times Square. <br />
<br />
Another option could be going to Harlem and slipping into any random church and then eating at Sylvia's afterwards. Or we could not do it at all if you don't want to. What thinkest thou?<br />

<div>Welcome!<br />
<br />
Welcome to Airduct Administration. In this course we will be discussing Airduct neutrality; airduct hygiene, health and safety; airducts and spam; and spam spam airducts and spam.<br />
<br />
Obviously, airduct administration is metaphorical, and actually this is a page about all forms of ventilation. First for some definitions. Someone who speaks through an airduct and you can't see their lips move is known as a Ventiloquist. <br />
<br />
An Airduct must never EVER be confused with an Air Duck. Though this is a common mistake (particularly use of 'Duct tape' and 'Duck tape') an Air Duck is in fact a flying duck. This must not be confused with a flying fuck. What this page is not about, is flying fucks. Back to ventilation...<br />
<br />
That's enough of a cover I think. On to the real reason we're here <_< >_> <br />
<br />

Signing off, Agent Air Duck<br />
<br />
Mission Brief: Intelligence have just informed us that there are some air-ducts in New York which require, well.... administering; thus necessitating a trip. Several good ducks have died to bring us this information....<br />

==Who's going anyway?==<br />
<br />
Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />
<br />
- Matt<br />
<br />
- Elin<br />
<br />
==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />
- Early September (just before Elin goes back to uni)<br />
<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />
<br />
Times between Sat 1st Sept and Fri 21st Sept.<br />
<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />
Fri 7th - > Mon 17th<br />
<br />
Mon 10th -> Thurs 20th<br />
<br />
Either way, I would have thought 10 days would be enough to do the job.<br />
<br />
==Where to Stay==<br />
Possibilities..<br />
<br />
[http://gershwinhotel.com/english/site1.html The Gershwin Hotel] - a hotel/youth hostel. Obviously the hotel part of it is more expensive than the youth hostel.<br />
<br />
[http://www.hotelbelleclaire.com/rooms.html#rates The Hotel Belle Claire] - Economy Room (shared bath) $109-$189 apparenly very well situated. <br />
<br />
[http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/usa/new-york-city/ Hostels in NYC]<br />
<br />
Barbara's recommendation: The Edison Hotel (Times Sq.) - is a 'lovely hotel' -sounds expensive<br />
<br />
==What to do==<br />
<br />
There are some suggestions in They Might Be Giants chronicle 'New York City' which outlines places most seriously affected by the Ventilation system meltdown:<br />
<br />
"Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's*<br />
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**<br />
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center<br />
Wish I was there"<br />
<br />
With this in mind, I have determined the most seriously affected areas as follows:<br />
<br />
'''Brooklyn:'''<br />
*"Take a trip to Brooklyn. Seriously. If you like cheesecake - go to Junior's. You won't be disappointed" -hmm...cheesecake..<br />
<br />
*Brooklyn Bridge - Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, have an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory at Fulton Ferry Landing – perhaps the best place to take pictures of downtown skyscrapers.<br />
<br />
*Coney Island<br />
<br />
'''LOWER Manhattan ("Downtown"):'''<br />
*The Battery, or [http://nyc2006.free.fr/Battery%20Park/slides/Battery%20Park%202.html 'Battery Park'] - trips to see the Statue of Liberty depart from Battery Park so...<br />
<br />
*[http://www.statueofliberty.org/Visiting_the_Statue_of_Liberty.html Statue of Liberty] - little known fact, The statue of liberty is actually in..New Jersey! But the New Yorkers don't advertise that very loudly...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*"Go downtown at South Street Seaport and get some half-price Broadway tickets. You can't come and NOT see a play."<br />
<br />
* Little Italy: Someone suggested the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_San_Gennaro Feast of San Gennaro] which is in mid-September and lasts for 11 days.<br />
<br />
*Chinatown and SoHo.<br />
<br />
*Other places of interest; City Hall, Wall Street, World Trade Center site, and the Woolworth Building.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.newyork.com/attraction/panorama/tour6a.html Greenwich Village], including Magnolia Bakery - apparently does the "best cupcakes in the world", but we'll be the judge of that. <br />
<br />
'''MIDDLE Manhattan:'''<br />
<br />
[[Image:55_Central_Park_West_-_3.jpg|right|No-one steps on a church in (Peter Venkman's) town. (That includes you Mr. Stay Puft!)]]<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/shandor.html The Shandor Building] - Built by Dr. Ivo Shandor, a medical doctor who performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. After the First World War, he decided mankind was too sick to survive. He designed and built the building that stands at 55 Central Park West with a specialized roof cap designed to act as a telemetry tracker for supernatural energy. Its purpose was to focus that energy and create a doorway into another world…the world of Gozer the Traveler!<br />
<br />
The ventilation system of this building has never fully recovered since the Marshmallow incident of 1984 - As he approached the Shandor Building, Mr. Stay Puft’s cute demeanor soon changed to that of pure evil. He overcame the problem of the church next to the building and in his way by simply stepping on it, pissing Peter off to no end. Ray finally overcame his shock and fear and led the boys in a charge to start blasting their pastry foe.<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Public_Library The Library] - The largest non-academic library in the United States. It is housed in a beautiful building by Carrer and Hastings, which is seen as the greatest example of Beaux Arts architecture. Business is now booming, despite the paranormal incident (also) of 1984. <br />
<br />
It was just another day in the life of Alice the librarian…that is until she met a ghost. Getting wind of it, Dr. Raymond Stantz immediately snatched up his partner, Dr. Peter Venkman, from their University lab and met up with Dr. Egon Spengler at the library to investigate. They soon learned, however, that they bit off more than they could chew as the old lady ghost they were looking for turned into a roaring monster. The experience wasn’t a complete waste, fortunately, as braniac Egon received readings on one of his devices that told him it would be possible to trap and hold ghosts.<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/university.html Columbia University] - Home to prominent parapsychologists: Egon Spengler, Peter Venkman & Ray Stance before they started their own business<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_Cathedral%2C_New_York St. Patrick's Cathedral] - The largest Catholic cathedral in the United States.<br />

*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant_Row_%28New_York_City%29 Restaurant Row] in Hell's Kitchen - In addition to the usual American, Caribbean, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Irish, Mexican and Thai restaurants, there are multiple Afghan, Argentine, Ethiopian, Peruvian, Turkish, and Vietnamese restaurants.<br />
<br />
*Broadway - Can we see a show, paint the town red, and then Blame it all on the nights on Broadway, Singin' them sweet sounds, To that crazy, crazy town...?<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Center Rockefeller Center] This huge centre needs some attention. Just take a look at this: [http://www.rockefellercenter.com/viewer/viewer.html RC Camera] - as you can see, really rather serious.

==Harlem Gospel Brunch==<br />
<br />
[http://www.bbkingblues.com/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=2610 Harlem Gospel Show]<br />
<br />
[http://www.bbkingblues.com/brunch/index.shtml Brunch Menu]<br />
<br />
It costs around £20 for the show and the brunch and is not *actually* in Harlem, but Times Square. <br />
<br />
Another option could be going to Harlem and slipping into any random church and then eating at Sylvia's afterwards. Or we could not do it at all if you don't want to. What thinkest thou?<br />

===Travel Insurance===<br />
<br />
Might be wise to get travel insurance. The post office is generally the bench-mark place, from whence to try to find a cheaper quote. I think I used Halifax when I went to Mex/ Cuba. - Matt<br />

Post office - £53 pp<br />
<br />
Via Money Supermarket.com - [http://www.moneysupermarket.com/TravelInsurance/travelresults.asp?id=8294707 Flexi-Cover] - £29 for a 'couple' (it just said that meant 2 people)<br />

<hr />
<div>Welcome!<br />
<br />
Welcome to Airduct Administration. In this course we will be discussing Airduct neutrality; airduct hygiene, health and safety; airducts and spam; and spam spam airducts and spam.<br />
<br />
Obviously, airduct administration is metaphorical, and actually this is a page about all forms of ventilation. First for some definitions. Someone who speaks through an airduct and you can't see their lips move is known as a Ventiloquist. <br />
<br />
An Airduct must never EVER be confused with an Air Duck. Though this is a common mistake (particularly use of 'Duct tape' and 'Duck tape') an Air Duck is in fact a flying duck. This must not be confused with a flying fuck. What this page is not about, is flying fucks. Back to ventilation...<br />
<br />
That's enough of a cover I think. On to the real reason we're here <_< >_> <br />
<br />
Operation Airduct: New York New York<br />
<br />
Let's twalk about nu Yawk...<br />
<br />
Signing off, Agent Air Duck<br />
<br />
Mission Brief: Intelligence have just informed us that there are some air-ducts in New York which require, well.... administering; thus necessitating a trip. Several good ducks have died to bring us this information....<br />
<br />

<br />
==Who's going anyway?==<br />
<br />
Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />
<br />
- Matt<br />
<br />
- Elin<br />
<br />
==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />
- Early September (just before Elin goes back to uni)<br />
<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />
<br />
Times between Sat 1st Sept and Fri 21st Sept.<br />
<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />
Fri 7th - > Mon 17th<br />
<br />
Mon 10th -> Thurs 20th<br />
<br />
Either way, I would have thought 10 days would be enough to do the job.<br />
<br />
==Where to Stay==<br />
Possibilities..<br />
<br />
[http://gershwinhotel.com/english/site1.html The Gershwin Hotel] - a hotel/youth hostel. Obviously the hotel part of it is more expensive than the youth hostel.<br />
<br />
[http://www.hotelbelleclaire.com/rooms.html#rates The Hotel Belle Claire] - Economy Room (shared bath) $109-$189 apparenly very well situated. <br />
<br />
[http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/usa/new-york-city/ Hostels in NYC]<br />
<br />
Barbara's recommendation: The Edison Hotel (Times Sq.) - is a 'lovely hotel' -sounds expensive<br />
<br />
==What to do==<br />
<br />
There are some suggestions in They Might Be Giants chronicle 'New York City' which outlines places most seriously affected by the Ventilation system meltdown:<br />
<br />
"Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's*<br />
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**<br />
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center<br />
Wish I was there"<br />
<br />
With this in mind, I have determined the most seriously affected areas as follows:<br />
<br />
'''Brooklyn:'''<br />
*"Take a trip to Brooklyn. Seriously. If you like cheesecake - go to Junior's. You won't be disappointed" -hmm...cheesecake..<br />
<br />
*Brooklyn Bridge - Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, have an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory at Fulton Ferry Landing – perhaps the best place to take pictures of downtown skyscrapers.<br />
<br />
*Coney Island<br />
<br />
'''LOWER Manhattan ("Downtown"):'''<br />
*The Battery, or [http://nyc2006.free.fr/Battery%20Park/slides/Battery%20Park%202.html 'Battery Park'] - trips to see the Statue of Liberty depart from Battery Park so...<br />
<br />
*[http://www.statueofliberty.org/Visiting_the_Statue_of_Liberty.html Statue of Liberty] - little known fact, The statue of liberty is actually in..New Jersey! But the New Yorkers don't advertise that very loudly...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*"Go downtown at South Street Seaport and get some half-price Broadway tickets. You can't come and NOT see a play."<br />
<br />
* Little Italy: Someone suggested the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_San_Gennaro Feast of San Gennaro] which is in mid-September and lasts for 11 days.<br />
<br />
*Chinatown and SoHo.<br />
<br />
*Other places of interest; City Hall, Wall Street, World Trade Center site, and the Woolworth Building.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.newyork.com/attraction/panorama/tour6a.html Greenwich Village], including Magnolia Bakery - apparently does the "best cupcakes in the world", but we'll be the judge of that. <br />
<br />
'''MIDDLE Manhattan:'''<br />
<br />
[[Image:55_Central_Park_West_-_3.jpg|right|No-one steps on a church in (Peter Venkman's) town. (That includes you Mr. Stay Puft!)]]<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/shandor.html The Shandor Building] - Built by Dr. Ivo Shandor, a medical doctor who performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. After the First World War, he decided mankind was too sick to survive. He designed and built the building that stands at 55 Central Park West with a specialized roof cap designed to act as a telemetry tracker for supernatural energy. Its purpose was to focus that energy and create a doorway into another world…the world of Gozer the Traveler!<br />
<br />
The ventilation system of this building has never fully recovered since the Marshmallow incident of 1984 - As he approached the Shandor Building, Mr. Stay Puft’s cute demeanor soon changed to that of pure evil. He overcame the problem of the church next to the building and in his way by simply stepping on it, pissing Peter off to no end. Ray finally overcame his shock and fear and led the boys in a charge to start blasting their pastry foe.<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Public_Library The Library] - The largest non-academic library in the United States. It is housed in a beautiful building by Carrer and Hastings, which is seen as the greatest example of Beaux Arts architecture. Business is now booming, despite the paranormal incident (also) of 1984. <br />
<br />
It was just another day in the life of Alice the librarian…that is until she met a ghost. Getting wind of it, Dr. Raymond Stantz immediately snatched up his partner, Dr. Peter Venkman, from their University lab and met up with Dr. Egon Spengler at the library to investigate. They soon learned, however, that they bit off more than they could chew as the old lady ghost they were looking for turned into a roaring monster. The experience wasn’t a complete waste, fortunately, as braniac Egon received readings on one of his devices that told him it would be possible to trap and hold ghosts.<br />
<br />
*[http://hometown.aol.com/nygbtour1/university.html Columbia University] - Home to prominent parapsychologists: Egon Spengler, Peter Venkman & Ray Stance before they started their own business<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_Cathedral%2C_New_York St. Patrick's Cathedral] - The largest Catholic cathedral in the United States.<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant_Row_%28New_York_City%29 Restaurant Row] in Hell's Kitchen - In addition to the usual American, Caribbean, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Irish, Mexican and Thai restaurants, there are multiple Afghan, Argentine, Ethiopian, Peruvian, Turkish, and Vietnamese restaurants.<br />
<br />
*Broadway - Can we see a show, paint the town red, and then Blame it all on the nights on Broadway, Singin' them sweet sounds, To that crazy, crazy town...?<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Center Rockefeller Center] This huge centre needs some attention. Just take a look at this: [http://www.rockefellercenter.com/viewer/viewer.html RC Camera] - as you can see, really rather serious.

[http://www.bbkingblues.com/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=2610 Harlem Gospel Show]<br />
<br />
[http://www.bbkingblues.com/brunch/index.shtml Brunch Menu]<br />
<br />
It costs around £20 for the show and the brunch and is not *actually* in Harlem, but Times Square. <br />
<br />
Another option could be going to Harlem and slipping into any random church and then eating at Sylvia's afterwards. Or we could not do it at all if you don't want to. What thinkest thou?<br />

<br />
Welcome to Airduct Administration. In this course we will be discussing Airduct neutrality; airduct hygiene, health and safety; airducts and spam; and spam spam airducts and spam.<br />
<br />
Obviously, airduct administration is metaphorical, and actually this is a page about all forms of ventilation. First for some definitions. Someone who speaks through an airduct and you can't see their lips move is known as a Ventiloquist. <br />
<br />
An Airduct must never EVER be confused with an Air Duck. Though this is a common mistake (particularly use of 'Duct tape' and 'Duck tape') an Air Duck is in fact a flying duck. This must not be confused with a flying fuck. What this page is not about, is flying fucks. Back to ventilation...<br />
<br />
That's enough of a cover I think. On to the real reason we're here <_< >_> <br />

==Who's going anyway?==<br />
<br />
Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />
<br />
- Matt<br />
<br />
- Elin<br />
<br />
==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />
- Early September (just before Elin goes back to uni)<br />
<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />
<br />
Times between Sat 1st Sept and Fri 21st Sept.<br />
<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />
Fri 7th - > Mon 17th<br />
<br />
Mon 10th -> Thurs 20th<br />
<br />
Either way, I would have thought 10 days would be enough to do the job.<br />
<br />
==Where to Stay==<br />

Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />

==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />

<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />

<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />

<br />
Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />

<br />
==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />
- Early September (just before Elin goes back to uni)<br />
<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />
<br />
Times between Sat 1st Sept and Fri 21st Sept.<br />
<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />

There are some suggestions in They Might Be Giants chronicle 'New York City' which outlines places most seriously affected by the Ventilation system meltdown:<br />

<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />

<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />

Well, sort of. - clips can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKGx6U_8VW8&mode=related&search= HERE] ...and [http://youtube.com/watch?v=cl0UE62WnGA&mode=related&search= here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SwF2z0gs9c&mode=related&search= here.] (And [http://youtube.com/watch?v=KM5WX4TRf5E&mode=related&search= here.] ). Anyway, it's one of my favourite shows. <3 And did I mention the tickets are free? Hmm? free?<br />

===Visa===<br />
<br />
[http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/index.html US Embassy Visa info]<br />
<br />
We might be able to go without the aid of a visa! If our passports are machine readable, or something...<br />
<br />
===To the airport===<br />
<br />
Could park at the airport. I checked a few websites; 2 or 3 had the same cheapest price I could find (like '[https://secure.airparks.co.uk/parking/c/main,mcpAvailability airparks]' for instance), of £46.80<br />
<br />
Or, we could try to get someone (cough.. MUM!... splutter, ahem) to give us a lift both ways. <br />
<br />
===Flights===<br />
<br />
Flights are booked: We're going with 'Zoom' airlines - £262.90pp<br />

<br />
===Travel Insurance===<br />
<br />
Might be wise to get travel insurance. The post office is generally the bench-mark place, from whence to try to find a cheaper quote. I think I used Halifax when I went to Mex/ Cuba. - Matt<br />

Post office - £53 pp<br />
<br />

Some of the best [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_set_in_New_York_City films set in New York] are as follows:<br />
<br />
Miracle on 34th Street, On the Town, Sabrina, Rear Window, Breakfast At Tiffany's, The Manchurian Candidate, Shaft, The Godfather (I, II & III), Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Ghostbusters, Crocodile Dundee, Highlander, Wall Street, Harlem Nights, When Harry Met Sally, Goodfellas, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Being John Malkovich, Eyes Wide Shut, American Psycho, Gangs of New York, Spiderman</div>ElÃÂnhttps://indivisibilities.com/wiki/index.php?title=Airduct_Administration&diff=2804Airduct Administration2007-05-16T12:58:02Z<p>ElÃÂn: </p>

<div>Welcome!<br />
<br />
Welcome to Airduct Administration. In this course we will be discussing Airduct neutrality; airduct hygiene, health and safety; airducts and spam; and spam spam airducts and spam.<br />
<br />
Obviously, airduct administration is metaphorical, and actually this is a page about all forms of ventilation. First for some definitions. Someone who speaks through an airduct and you can't see their lips move is known as a Ventiloquist. <br />
<br />
An Airduct must never EVER be confused with an Air Duck. Though this is a common mistake (particularly use of 'Duct tape' and 'Duck tape') an Air Duck is in fact a flying duck. This must not be confused with a flying fuck. What this page is not about, is flying fucks. Back to ventilation...<br />
<br />
That's enough of a cover I think. On to the real reason we're here <_< >_> <br />
<br />
Operation Airduct: New York New York<br />
<br />
Let's twalk about nu Yawk...<br />
<br />
Signing off, Agent Air Duck<br />
<br />
Mission Brief: Intelligence have just informed us that there are some air-ducts in New York which require, well.... administering; thus necessitating a trip. Several good ducks have died to bring us this information....<br />

<br />
==Who's going anyway?==<br />
<br />
Volunteers with the appropriate qualifications are:<br />
<br />
- Matt<br />
<br />
- Elin<br />
<br />
==When to go==<br />
<br />
Possible times to go are: <br />
<br />
- Early September (just before Elin goes back to uni)<br />
<br />
- Elin would prefer not to be in New Yawk for her bday<br />
<br />
Elin goes back to uni: Monday 1st October. <br />
<br />
Therefore good dates would be (and remember there is a mid-september festival [see below]):<br />
<br />
Times between Sat 1st Sept and Fri 21st Sept.<br />
<br />
Suggestions:<br />
<br />
Fri 7th - > Mon 17th<br />
<br />
Mon 10th -> Thurs 20th<br />
<br />
Either way, I would have thought 10 days would be enough to do the job.<br />
<br />
==Where to Stay==<br />
Possibilities..<br />
<br />
[http://gershwinhotel.com/english/site1.html The Gershwin Hotel] - a hotel/youth hostel. Obviously the hotel part of it is more expensive than the youth hostel.<br />
<br />
[http://www.hotelbelleclaire.com/rooms.html#rates The Hotel Belle Claire] - Economy Room (shared bath) $109-$189 apparenly very well situated. <br />
<br />
[http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/usa/new-york-city/ Hostels in NYC]<br />
<br />
Barbara's recommendation: The Edison Hotel (Times Sq.) - is a 'lovely hotel'<br />
<br />
Naturally though, you're the expert on such matters ;)<br />
<br />
==What to do==<br />
<br />
There are some suggestions in They Might Be Giants chronicle 'New York City' which outlines places most seriously affected by the Ventilation system meltdown:<br />
<br />
"Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's*<br />
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**<br />
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center<br />
Wish I was there"<br />
<br />
With this in mind, I have determined the most seriously affected areas as follows:<br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Center Rockefeller Center] This huge centre needs some attention. Just take a look at this: [http://www.rockefellercenter.com/viewer/viewer.html RC Camera] - as you can see, really rather serious. I think it might be a good idea also to check out the top of the centre to get a good overview of the city: [http://www.topoftherocknyc.com/ODTStatic/site.htm Top View]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/ Times Square] - (apparently there's a Toys 'R' Us in Times Square that has an indoor ferris wheel among other things. A couple of people have suggested this...how random!)<br />
<br />
*[http://www.esbnyc.com/index2.cfm?CFID=19444316&CFTOKEN=12878152 Empire State Building]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.centralpark.com/ Central Park] - things to do in Central Park include these [http://gonyc.about.com/od/photogalleries/ss/central_park_9.htm 10 things]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.statueofliberty.org/Visiting_the_Statue_of_Liberty.html Statue of Liberty] - little known fact, The statue of liberty is actually in..New Jersey! But the New Yorkers don't advertise that very loudly...<br />
<br />
*The Battery, or [http://nyc2006.free.fr/Battery%20Park/slides/Battery%20Park%202.html 'Battery Park']<br />
<br />
*Someone suggested the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_San_Gennaro Feast of San Gennaro] which is in mid-September and lasts for 11 days. <br />
<br />
*We could also visit regional parts like Chinatown, Little Italy and SoHo.<br />
<br />
*Chrysler Building<br />
<br />
*"Take a trip to Brooklyn. Seriously. If you like cheesecake - go to Junior's. You won't be disappointed" -hmm...cheesecake..<br />
<br />
*"Go downtown at South Street Seaport and get some half-price Broadway tickets. You can't come and NOT see a play."<br />
<br />
*"Check out the [http://www.amnh.org/ Museum of Natural History]"<br />
<br />
*Brooklyn Bridge - Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, have an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory at Fulton Ferry Landing – perhaps the best place to take pictures of downtown skyscrapers.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.newyork.com/attraction/panorama/tour6a.html Greenwich Village]<br />
<br />
*"A Walk Through Harlem. Harlem is worth going to... Sylvia's is the standby, but there's also Sunday Brunch with the Harlem Gospel Choir..."<br />
<br />
*The Daily Show - American equivalent to 'Have I got News for you'. Well, sort of. - clips can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKGx6U_8VW8&mode=related&search= HERE] ...and [http://youtube.com/watch?v=cl0UE62WnGA&mode=related&search= here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SwF2z0gs9c&mode=related&search= here.] (And [http://youtube.com/watch?v=KM5WX4TRf5E&mode=related&search= here.] ).
