I'm going to New York next Tuesday through Friday, just to bum around, eat good kosher food, and catch a show or two.

1) How should I get there? I usually take the bus, which is ok -- certainly cheap, but kind of a long time to sit on a crowded bus. Is flying a valid option? How do you get from La Guardia into the city? I need to get back by sundown Friday night, so the shorter travel time is certainly tempting, but not if there are going to be 5-hour delays.

2) Anyone else going to be there and want to get together?

3) Any suggestions for off-the-beaten-path stuff to do or see or hear or buy or eat? (Eating MEAT will mostly be MEAT at kosher MEAT restaurants, but I'm open to other suggestions.)

4) Any suggestions on good ways to get tickets or shows to see? I'm not sure I have the patience to stand in line for TKTS, but since there's only one of me, I'm hoping it might be easier to get a single ticket some other way. (Sweeney Todd is top of my list right now, but I'm not sure whether I want to buy a ticket online or see what else comes up once I get there.)

I *knew* there was a show I was forgetting about! Just bought my ticket to see Eliza Dushku and America Ferrera in Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. The take-off on the Charles Schulz comic strip "Peanuts" follows the story of "what happens when America’s favorite blockhead discovers that his beloved beagle has terminal rabies. A missing pen pal, an abused pianist, a pyromaniac ex girlfriend, two drunk cheerleaders, a homophobic quarterback, a burnt out Buddhist and a drama queen sister" all fill the unauthorized parody. This should be... interesting. :)
