New York City

Our first trip to New york City was to stand near Times Square and watch the New Year's "ball drop" for the Millennium in 1999-2000! Since then we have been back at least 8 times. We love New York City and Jenny is a HUGE Sex in the City fan! We even took the Sex in the City Bus Tour in 2007. We like to stay at the same hotel as our first trip, the Best Western Seaport Inn, on Peck slip overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge and Wall Street area. We also stayed in a B&B on Staten Island!
