I live in New York. The best advise is to visit the following site.
I live in NYC and am from the ‘South’ as well. NC. If you need anything fill free to let me know. The best places are where the locals go, not the tourists. Rockefella Center as oposed to the Empire State. Just me. I know I had to learn the hard way.
Haven’t the vaguest. Those I know go to Atlantic City to gamble, oldsters like me do the museums, shops and broadway or off broadway. Ask a question I am capable of answering.
