I've been a couple times and agree that if you have a chance to see a Broadway musical. Other than that, I'm all about the food! NYC is great!

I lived in NYC for almost a decade and now live in Toronto so I have tips. Quickest way to see both cities is to get a bus pass for hop-on hop-off city tours. Both cities have this service so you can enjoy the sights (and smells) at your leisure and within your time frames. In NYC, check out the Cloisters. Not as touristy but rich in history and beauty. In Times Square catch a Broadway show if you have time - Spring Awakening is the play to see right now. In Toronto, I know its touristy but have dinner at the CN tower's revolving restaurant so you can view the entire city in an hour. The new ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) would have opened with Michael Lee-Chin's Crystal by the time you're here. I have a family membership with this museum and would love to bring you there if you have time for coffee and some art viewing. Maybe have our other Toronto bloggers join us. You know I still have that Filipino trait of loving to playing host to kababayans in town :-) Enjoy your trip and hope to meet you in person. Hi Shai,
