Other Activities: I love to go to the New York Botanical Garden. Although it's located in the Bronx, i'm there is no time. I take the A express to Fulton (Manhattan), then transfer to the 4 /5 uptown to Grand Central. From Grand Central, I take the Metro North (Harlem Line) to the Botanical Garden. The Bronx Zoo, also spectacular, a short walk from the Botanical Garden. Standard admission to the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo is free on wednesdays.
My favorite restaurants are: Blue Fin, Sea Grill, Ed's Lobster, Jackson Hole and Sylvia's.
I also enjoy the boat tours and bowling The Chelsea Piers Sports and Entertainment Complex.
