Things I've Done in New York

In every city there are BIG THINGS to do -- museums to visit, sights to see, restaurants to eat in. As I count down my days in NYC, I thought I'd make a list of things to do that I haven't done here. So far I have come up with, visit the Frick Collection. I'm proud that that is the only thing I can think of. I've spent my 13 years here well -- experienced the city, lived a NY life. If you have suggestions for things I should do in NYC, please, please let me know.

In the meantime, here are some of the things I have done:
Gone to the top of the Empire State Building, visited Ellis Island, toured Governor's island, ridden my bike around Staten Island, taken my life in my hands - at least 5 times - by riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, gone from tip to tip and side to side on Roosevelt Island, taken a ride on the 59th Street Tram, danced on top of a speaker as a go-go dancer at CBGBs, taken African dance lessons in Harlem, visited the MET, the Whitney, the old MoMa, new MoMa and even the interim MoMa, P.S. 1, The Museum of Natural History, The Cloisters, the old Hayden Planetarium (but not the new Rose one), gone to a wedding in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, checked out the Orchid show at the Bronx Botanical Gardens, eaten Italian food on Arthur Ave. in the Bronx, eaten seafood on City Island, worked for a sex writer on Central Park West, shopped for food the day before Thanksgiving at Fairway (an experience not for the faint of heart), fallen asleep on an decaying pier in Redhook Brooklyn on a lazy Sunday, gone on a ride-along with NYPD on the Lower East Side, witnessed a shooting, watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from a 5th floor window on Central Park West, ridden my bike all the way around Manhattan, run a race around Central Park, taken a carriage ride in the park, rented a boat in the park, had high tea at the Plaza Hotel, gotten kicked out of the Campbell Apartment (for wearing sneakers), eaten Easter brunch at the Rainbow Room, danced and drank martinis as Windows on the World, lived in Williamsburg before it was hip, dated a musician, been to Sting's dressing room at the Beacon Theater, watched a fashion show at Bryant Park, went ice-skating at Woollman Rink as a light snow fell, eaten a pastrami sandwich at Katz's deli, owned real estate in the West Village, fallen in love, been heartbroken, found the man I will marry, seen the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan going into his Sutton Place mansion, attended the American Theater Wing luncheon, been a New York City Grand Juror -- during grand jury appreciation month!, attended the best picnic ever with a giant Puerto Rican family on Staten Island, eaten dinner (several times) with an ex-cop who was carrying a gun, attended the U.S. Open, played ping-pong at the West Side park, watched movies on a rooftop in Brooklyn, interviewed Al Pacino at the Tribeca Film Festival, saw Alan Cumming in Cabert, performed stand-up comedy all over Manhattan, sat next to Salman Rushdie at a movie screening. I'll add more when i think of it.
