I absolutely LOVE Queens!!!!  It's VERY safe and there's Colombian food everywhere!!!!!!

I'll look it up then. I don't know much about Colombian food. What's a good restaurant to have any here in Toronto. What would you recommend?

---

I say you should try "Mi Tierra" on St. Clair It's sooo good.

New York is awesome, you'll also find TONS of Ecuadorian Restaurants in Queens.

I say you do all the tourist thingy's, it's very nice: The Statue of Liberty, Rockerfellar, SOHO, Must go to Schwartz, Chinatown (it's insane in there), Little Italy, Ground Zero, Must ride the water Taxi (so much Fun), visit American Girl (kinda expensive but so worth it), visit the The Cathedral Church of St. John (it's the chruch that Thalia got married in with Tony Montola) (they sell very nice rosarios, croses, etc. Not expensive at all), Central Park (that's like 1 day or so, the zoo inside), Bronx Zoo is nice as well, Oh god there is tons to see & do, that a whole month is like not enough time.

Also NY is great for Domenican food, best I ever tried so far.

Must try Jumba Juice, it's an american chain like Booster Juice, just that better.

Anyhow there are a few of my suggestions & likes.

Have Fun when u go.

Where the pie have you been?  I was suffering Chale withdrawal... Umm.. last I heard you had grown all your body hair and you were putting on a one woman show as Chale the Monkey Girl on the Yonge subway line.

You heard????

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! Well I had to do something for money guy, I just had too. I decided to grow my body hair to its natural monkey like proportions and dress up in my grade 3 tutu and sing Daddy Yankee reggaeton hits for money.

Oh the shamey, the shamey!!!!!!!!

@ Buffy:

Dont rent a car, what for??? Do it like the New Yorkers do and take the subway girl. Trust me, New York aint cheap and parking is going to cost you an arm and a leg. And truthfully part of the whole experience is to roam around and take in all the sights. You need to go to Canal street, only place in the world where you can find knock off Coach/Gucci/Fendi bags for $30-35 American.

I New York

Any place in Queens is good, as for Toronto.......I used to LOVE Sabor Latino but they've changed .  You should ask Colombiana!  Odds are she'll know the owners, their parents, their sisters, their pets, etc. 

@JC:  If you're gonna rent a car, don't go for Enterprise.  I wasn't allowed to take their car to NY for insurance purposes.    Maybe those rules have changed as well.  It's been awhile. 

Normally what I do is fly from Buffalo to NYC cause it's dirt cheap!

I've never been to New York and finally, FINALLY!!!, hubby and I will be going in March. Besides the usual tourist landmarks, what's good to see and do there? I imagine there must be awesome Latin clubs, restaurants and such. We want to go check out a comedy club and maybe see a live Salsa band. What do you guys think? Any tips?

---

Are you going to the MANA concert?

@ JC: we thought about driving too, but we only have a couple of days and we wanted to make the most of it. Driving would've taken most of our time, so we decided to fly. If' we'd driven, we would've definitely rented a car.

See flying was an option at first, but New York is an expensive city, so we decided to drive as it would be the cheaper option and we could use what we would have spent on airfare for spending money. Plus New York flights aren't cheap anymore and go for $300 +
We don't have too many days in New York either. We're driving overnight on the Wednesday which is the day before the concert and drving overnight back home on Saturday night.

We're going to the Mana concert in March and are looking to do a few things in New York. A good site to get you started is www.nycvisit.com
Also if you are paying for accomadation try to get it in Queens. It's alot cheaper and going for around $79US a night.

---

Isn't Queens dangerous? We booked a nice little hotel that my co-workers recommended. It's near Greenwich and it wasn't too expensive. Plus they said that it's close to everything. I don't even know where Queens is. I should look at a map. How are you getting there? Oh, and that's what we're going for too, the Maná concert.

---

Queens ain't so bad and it's about a half hour away from Manhattan where MSG is. We're driving to New York. The only debate right now wheather we will drive our own car there or take a rental

Forget that. I don't wanna walk forever. I'm going to pack my Segway transporter

You can visit the museum, ground zero and of course, shopping.
