Diane & Sandy: Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated.
We are used to smiling and nodding at strangers on the street (we're from the South, after all). We understood in the first 20 minutes that this was not the NYC culture. That said, folks have been very friendly and helpful and we don't at all feel that we're on the "mean streets." And the tourists are the ones not wearing black coats - it's the must-have color for New Yorkers.
The 9/11 Museum was very good - they did an impressive job. We noticed that that the further we progressed into the Museum, the less chat among patrons. It's just so overwhelming - there's little to say. The fountains outside are spectacular, especially lit up at night.
I will be working for a few days starting on Friday so looking forward to a few more days of playing first. Very cold and windy so no smiling and nodding today - just put your head down and go!
