Thought this may be interesting to visitors - was her BAG 2 years ago and have been in touch ever since, and get together when she is in town. Will be visiting for the 5th time in September. Especially good for repeat visitors. By the way, she LOVES Anco Studios, an inexpensive option of the Upper East Side on a beautiful street, may be worth checking into. The idea of attending lectures or talks by people who interest you is a good one, not always mentioned on this site. By this time, she is becoming an expert and really enjoys her time here, not a big shopper obviously, so to each his/her own.She told me that the only area she really does not like is Times Square, except for the theatres, of course.

What a great post. It%26#39;s good to see how further visits pan out, and the different things you can get up to. Some smashing ideas as well. Thanks.
Visitors List of Activities
That is a great post. Perhaps it should be ';stickied'; so second- and third- and fourth-time visitors can get some ideas.
Daisiegee, that%26#39;s the apt. Salsa and her daughter stayed at on East 80th St. It%26#39;s just a few blocks from me.
Really? She loved it as well if I remember. Did you go there? What did you think ?
I thought it was nice but very old. The bathroom was one of the tiniest I%26#39;d ever seen.
I%26#39;ll shoot Salsa a link to see if she%26#39;ll post a review.
Good idea..it might be a while though as the lucky so and so has gone away for a few days.
My people said the same thing but some of the apartments have been updated, there is someone on premises, and they like it very much, besides the price being right.
Very clean %26amp; very convenient.
I notice on their website that someone can view the apartment for you by appointment. That%26#39;s a good facility to have.
