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.)

On tickets:Just go to the box office (of the show you want to see) when it opens and ask when they do rush tickets. You will have to have an idea of what show you'd want to see, because there might be a little bit of a line and you will also have to have directions to their respective box offices. It's worked for me every time, and I usually will get a seat for $30 or under. Be warned: some theatres don't do a rush
