    >Hey David,
    >As a native and resident New Yorker, I can't resist staying up a few more

    >museums, I'd recommend MOMA. The Hayden Planetarium does 3-D laser light
    >shows to classic rock-n-roll albums (Dark Side, Zeppelin) on Fridays and
    >Saturdays and the Guggenheim has great stuff too. If you're looking for
    >shows, Broadway is always there, but there are also great off-broadway
    >productions down in the Village (like Stomp, and Blue-Man Group) which are
    >definitely worth checking out. If your looking for music and don't mind
    >ponying up some dough, I'd say nothing beats the weekend jazz shows at
    >Blue-Note (although there are several smaller, lesser known jazz clubs that
    >are also must sees... but start with Blue Note if you've never been there).
    >However, I would say that nothing conveys the real Dynamic nature of New
    >York City quite like taking a subway up to the Bronx and seeing a game at
    >Yankee Stadium... even you're not really a baseball fan... it's an historic
    >experience and a carnival atmosphere.
