Okay I have one last question...well a few last questions buuuut I'll wrap these up into one post. haha.

this may be the most unanswerable question ever, but I'm going to make an attempt:

I used to go to NY twice a year, every year, and we'd always eat at this nice little deli I guess you could call it. It had two floors, the bottom floor was the counter wher eyou could order and there were a FEW tables down there...the second floor had tables to sit and eat and all of this. It was generally around St. Johns and all of that... but I'm not sure exactly where and I have no idea what the name was, and I really want to bring my boyfriend there in October when we visit, because he loves deli food, haha.

The second is can you recommend TWO OR THREE resturants that are fairly cheap and are your favorites. Somewhere we could get a nice breakfast and one or two places we could get a quick, cheap lunch that isnt a pizza place or mcdonalds! =) It would be awesome. All the posts here for resturants that I've read have like 245 on them. haha.

And the last,
Has anyone been on the Sex & the city tour??? I love Sex & The City..it's definetly one of my favorite shows, and I read about the tour. is it worth the forty something bucks or no? And if not can you reccomend a tour that IS worth the money, aside from the Empire State Building.

Thank you guyssss.:)

For the tours: the new york water taxi isn't exactly a tour -- but there are people on board that ask you where you're from and if there are things you want to know.

It's $10 for a zip around the southern part of Manhattan (with various stops along the way).

Or $25 for a two-day hop-on / hop-off service.

The boat is open on the upper deck and is a great way to see the city.

I could give specific advice about vegetarian-friendly spots downtown and in williamsburg, but without a neighborhood I wouldn't know where to start. I do like Indian Bread Company on Bleeker @ 6th (I think) which is fusiony Indian sandwiches.

It's always a smart idea to invest in a Zagat guide before you visit NYC:

Asking others for suggestions is a good idea, but nothing beats researching and selecting a place by yourself.

^ It's a big church. Very big. New York's biggest, in fact. When it comes to Gothic churches it's the world's biggest. Surprised it's so obscure.

Sorry, I'm actually a member of St. John the Divine, I had just never heard of it referred to as "St. John's."

You didn't offend me at all; I had just never heard that name.
