Do these places still exist? I thought FAO Schwartz was bought out by Toys 'R Us?

Posted by mattp (Member # 2140) on :

for what its worth FAO Schwartz (sp?) in the city is closed or will be closing. if they haven't closed already, im not sure of the date.

And Phantom was incredible!! it was my first broadway show and i really really enjoyed it!! also, in times square youll see a McDonalds. well right next door is the times square information center. go in and at the booth/desk in the center of the room there is a list of shows that have "student rush" seats as they call them available. while we were in teh city to see Phantom, we toyed with the idea of going to see Aida that night for only $25 with our student discount. just be sure all the kids have a student id. [Wink]

depending on the dates you're here, maybe we could get some kind of mini G2G going... [Smile]

now that I'm saying this, im sure i wont be able to make. such is my luck [Roll Eyes]

Posted by mattp (Member # 2140) on :

and the 5th of April is my bro's bday, so count that day out [Razz]

How about several Italian resteraunts :

If you want EXCELLENT and CHEAP Italian food, try Frutti di Mare (84 E.
4th
St) tel: 979-2034 or Cucine De Pesce (right across the street.) The
food is
EXCELLENT and the prices are very reasonable!

Joey I hope these meet with your approval [Big Grin]
