By myself, because no one I live near is a Potter fan, so naturally that left me jonesing somewhat for the fandom I've abandoned. Somewhat... Anyway, I feel I have to share, so general impression on top, specifics under a cut for those who might consider such things spoilery.

I will definitely take you up on the offer when I make it back to NYC. That's not an if, it's definitely a when. We had such a great time. When we were younger, we drove into the city and just went a couple of places and then would head for home. This time, since we were there for such a short time and knew we couldn't possibly do too much, we took one of those 5 hour OnBoard bus tours, where you get off and walk around some with the tour guide. We got to walk around Central Park a little, see Wall Street (pre-protest!) a little, take the boat to the Statue of Liberty, walk around Rockefeller Plaza, cruise through Chinatown, see John Lennons building, Times Square, etc....all the touristy things you have to do. We saw nothing in depth, but at least my kids have seen some things they've read about in books or seen on the news.
We took a twelve day vacation all over the northeast - upstate New York, ferry across Lake Champlain, Vermont, NH, Maine, Boston, Newport in Rhode Island, the area in Connecticut where we lived previously, and then one night in NYC before heading home. So...much...fun!!! We all decided that we need to come back and do a solid week in NYC sometime soon. I would love to have a hometown girl come meet up with us when we make it up there again!!
