Subject: NYC Hotel and tourist help needed
Ziners,

Please forgive me for asking what has been asked in the recent past. I tried to search the archives and could not find a sufficient reply. I am from Long Island, now living in California. My 16 year old daughter and I are doing an East Coast College tour, visit family on Long Island, along with attending a family reunion in NC and visiting our old neighborhood in Northern Virginia.

She does not remember our life before California and wants to be a tourist as much as possible. I left NY at age 22 and need help to decide what to do so I do not add any more exhaustion than my schedule will already cause.

I plan to take the train in from Islip to Penn Station on Monday August 8th....early!! We will spend Monday night. We are not poor, but I do need to watch the money. I need a good place to stay for the one night, in a good central location.

My must do/see items are the tenement museum, http://www.tenement.org/ the NYC Municipal archives and 29 Ave C. My hobby is genealogy, thus those items.

My daughter is not sure what she wants to do/see besides ground zero and the stock exchange and central park.

I know that is not much time but any ideas are appreciated....

Thanks is advance, Gail Jorgensen Southern California
