    I’d recommend stone street after visiting the 9/11 memorial. It’s a nice place to sit out but it might be a bit cold this time of year.

    Central Park at anytime of the year is worth a visit. WRAP UP WELL!

    Be sure to visit Ellen's Stardust Diner, all the staff are Broadway performers who sing while they serve, and they're all amazing! The food is about average but its the experience that you're paying for. I'd highly recommend it, its a really fun, different experience.

    Do the open bus tour. Visit Bryant Park, a hidden gem in the middle of Manhattan, and do the Statten Island ferry for views of Manhattan and Statue of Liberty.

    Wrap up and enjoy.

    Don't go out at night. On second... thought don't ever leave your hotel room.

    As of January 1, 2020 the state of New York released a list of charges that will no longer qualify a suspect to be held on bail, and they will be released at arraignment on their own recognizance.

    Assault in the third degree
    Aggravated vehicular assault
    Aggravated assault upon a person less than eleven years old
    Criminally negligent homicide
    Aggravated vehicular homicide
    Manslaughter in the second degree
    Unlawful imprisonment in the first degree
    Coercion in the first degree
    Arson in the third and fourth degree
    Grand larceny in the first degree
    Criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds or criminal possession of a firearm
    Criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first and second degree
    Criminal sale of a controlled substance in the first and second degree
    Criminal sale of a controlled substance in or near school grounds
    Specified felony drug offenses involving the use of children, including the use of a child to commit a controlled substance offense and criminal sale of a controlled substance to a child
    Criminal solicitation in the first degree and criminal facilitation in the first degree
    Money laundering in support of terrorism in the third and fourth degree
    Making a terroristic threat
    Patronizing a person for prostitution in a school zone
    Promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child
    Possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child
    Promoting a sexual performance by a child
    Failure to register as a sex offender
    Obstructing governmental administration in the first and second degree
    Obstructing governmental administration by means of a self-defense spray device
    Bribery in the first degree
    Bribe giving for public office
    Bribe receiving in the first degree
    Promoting prison contraband in the first and second degree
    Resisting arrest
    Hindering prosecution
    Tampering with a juror and tampering with physical evidence
    Aggravated harassment in the first degree
    Directing a laser at an aircraft in the first degree
    Criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree
    Criminal sale of a firearm to a minor
    Enterprise corruption and money laundering in the first degree
    Aggravated cruelty to animals, overdriving, torturing and injuring animals
    Failure to provide proper sustenance
    Animal fighting

    So knife a tourist in NYC (not really intending to kill him, *wink* *wink*) and the victim dies at the scene. You get arrested, get arraigned and released without having to pay a dime, and you’re home in time for dinner.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    I travel into NYC for work about every other month. I'll be going as infrequent as possible going forward.
