New York City: Advice for a Slightly Terrified Person
Dazed:
Yeah, I usually don't get dessert at a restaurant. Much nicer to leave, walk a bit, and hit up an ice cream place. J.P. Licks is everywhere in Boston now, so it's pretty easy.

Thirded! Though I am lucky enough to have gone up the Empire State in the late 1970s, when you could still go to the very top in the third, manually operated, lift. :-D The illuminations above the glass top of the Rock lifts are pretty weird
--- Quote ---Also, avoid Times Square. I think New York is not nearly as intimidating as it once was

When I was there in the late '70s (largely in the Times Square area), in January, so lots of dark, the only thing I found intimidating was my host's insistence that it wasn't as intimidating as I might think. I thought it a wonderful place then, and I think the same after my visit earlier this year.

Cheers for all the help/advice guys! The 'fear' has definitely been replaced by a lot of excitement. Updates on the NYC Comic Con site have helped but so has all the advice. The Brooklyn Bridge is now in for either the Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks for all the recommendations on places to eat as well!
Ballard:
Tommy's advice is great.
I live in New York. I'll be away Friday night through Monday night but beyond that I'd be happy to show you around.
PM me your number and we can work something out.

Hopefully, yes. I mean, that's why they're a restaurant! I guess if you're getting stand food it makes more sense.
