Start Spreading the News... (NYC ladies, come in!)

I'm popping over to NY at the end of November for a girls weekend. Any of you live in NYC? And... any races that weekend? (27-30 November)

[shorewife]

I live in the area....but I'll be in Hawaii (I know, poor me). I'm sure there will be multiple Turkey Trots to choose from!

I don't actually land until the 27th in the afternoon, so I think those turkey trot things are on thanksgiving itself, right?

Im nearby, but not around that weekend (thanksgiving, a family wedding and my hs reunion). The turkey trot i run is in the burbs. Youll be in the city?

Yep, I'll be in the city. I think I'll do a loop of Central Park. It's safe enough, right? Thinking Saturday or Sunday morning, about 8am?

Totally safe and likely packed

Perfect then! Thanks! I'm also thinking about doing the Riverside 5K. You get cocoa! How can that not be a good thing?

Oooh! Yes please!
I used to fly over to work in Connecticut and often combined my trip with weekends in NY, so I'm no stranger to the place, but that was nearly ten years ago so I would love recommendations. So far I'm planning on:
High Line
Run Central Park loop
Ellis Island
Take my friend up Empire State
Little Red Hens bakery
Once (Broadway)
Ice skating
Shopping
Eating a Cronut
Eating at Acme (Nordic food is in I'm told)

What else should I do/see/eat?

Cronuts are hard to get, though admittedly ive never tried. But so many things at domonique ansell are amazing - i LOVE the dka. If youre there at the right time for the cookie shot, have one! I wouldve recommended you try to go there, even if you hadnt mentioned it.

I was just on the highline this weekend, i hadnt been since it was extended. If its a nice day, its so wonderful.

Where are you staying? What else are you looking to do? What kind of food??

[Deleted]

Oh yes - the cookie shot, I saw that! Awesome!
Staying at Tribeca Grand (in Tribeca, obviously). Any kind of food. Literally.

Weirder the better. That's a challenge! If you can come up with something weird to do, I will do it

I love marc forgione, its on reade st
he has an asian place thats great too, khe yo, i think. I mightve gotten that wrong.

There are all sorts of niche workout places too. Aqua, which is underwater spin, which is in tribeca. There are rowing studios too, a few of them across the city.

If youre in tribeca, and its a nice day, walk over the brooklyn bridge and eat at grimaldis (expect a long line, bring cash).

Ill keep thinking!
