"Any part of Manhattan above 110th street, or above 90th street after dark. This area is commonly known as the death zone."

That sounds exciting - let us know how it goes!

This is that bus I was talking about http://www.inetours.com/New_York/Tours/photos/Red-Bus.html

I would also go to the piers and take a full island tour on a boat. It is like $31

What else have you done? How was your first plane ride?

Flight was lawless, in route on the minute! Smile
Also got a tour to iceland...what an awesome place that is!

And btw, sex museum was kinda disturbing, lol!
Going to "ripleys believe it or not" today Smile
Subway works great! Metro pass FTW^^
Took some time to figure it all out tho Wink


One thing that annoys me is that most places doesn't list with taxes included.
Just very different from Norway, but guess its common in the USA^^
Could do without the 15% tipping culture here too Razz

common here too, and fucking annoying ... just like how all the prices end in .99 Wink

and yeah, most servers make slave wages so it's good to tip. But hey, I guess we've all seen the beginning of Reservoir Dogs

For a good tip is usually 18%. Ya, the taxes are a killer. We have HST which is %15 I think. If you go out and drink you have to pay an additional liq. tax and then tip, more then 33%. not sure of the liq. tax, maybe 5%
