| Memba that? |
1. Mom, Dad and the two teens go to a Broadway show: Fun and exciting, about two or three hours worth of distraction, crummy side seats at a matinee will run about $115.00 each. ($460.00)
2. Ride the Staten Island Ferry to the Statue of Liberty: $72 for the whole family, and an extra $12 if you want to get up into Liberty's Crown ($84). The ferry ride is a blast, and you can hang out as long as you want on the island and make a day of it.
3. A Museum: There are so many it's tough to choose, and they all run about $20-$24 per person. There's the Museum of Modern Art which is sort of a bore unless you are a painter or a true art lover, but the space is nice. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is like going to another country and one you won't ever want to leave, and you'll never forget it. Whatever they charge is too little, and better than college as far as getting an education.
Then there's that new museum, the one celebrating 9/11 that just opened. You know, the day when those radical Islamists knocked down the two tallest buildings in Manhattan with airplanes and killed 3,000 innocent people, and the smoke and debris rained down on everything and ruined nearby houses and apartments and displaced families for months, and firemen and other disaster teams got cancer from working on the clean-up. That one. And now this fun new museum has pictures of the actual horror, and artifacts like bloody shoes that were once on someone's feet and were found in a pile of rubble, and a crashed ambulance and recordings of survivors describing how horrible it all was. Sound good?
I'd go for the boat ride to Miss Liberty and a round of Nathan's kosher dogs and forget the 9/11 House of Horrors, which by the way cost $700 million to build. I bet those terrorists are cracking up.
