My Parents & Grandparents are coming to NY#0

Posted: 3/3/06 at 2:41pm

They will be here in two weeks. We are staying in Times Square. (Since I live about an hour out, driving back and forth would be silly.) My mother has been in before, but it's the first time for my grandparents and father. I have no idea what to do to entertain them. My father is a biker type. (He actually directs a charity organization of bikers, so he's not like a Hell's Angel...lol.) Can anyone think of anywhere in the city that he might enjoy? He is very into motorcycles. I think my grandparents will be easier. They just care about seeing me.

We are going to my favorite restaurant in Queens on Thursday and going to check out Gasoline Alley because my dad wants to. We are going to try to see a show. (A friend is working on tickets to something random.) I think we are taking the Zephyr cruise and that will be the extent of the sight seeing for them. It's gonna be cold.

Anyone have any fun suggestions for 6 of us? My best friend is planning on being with us, too. Thanks in advance. Ignore me if you are annoyed by posts like this.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Do you think they'd like the doubledecker bus tour? Do they like museums?

Or when in doubt, just ask Corine!

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Eh, I am so lost. Mom must hit Chinatown to buy ugly purses. Daddy wants to eat his weight in pizza and pasta. The old folks wanna visit Central Park. I just don't want them to have to walk more than they need to. I am sure we will find more than enough to keep them occupied.

Is there a trip planner on Corine's Corner???

Yeah, there's a trip planner and her name is Corine.


Seriously, the bus tour is a good way to see Manhattan without a lot of walking. There's a couple different loops and you can get off and on at a bunch of different stops.
