Thanks for the recap Siggy. I haven't been to NYC in a decade or so. Maybe I will take the family on a road trip next summer. Check out a Mets game (I have already been to old and new yankee stadium and I hate the yankees) and check out PubKey.
CitiField is a good place to see a game. Pub Key really took me by surprise. Pacchia is a smart guy with the ability to get funding. Worth a visit. It's one of a kind .

My wife has never been to NYC. She is American but she grew up in California and never made it out to the east coast. I am sure she would love to take a weekend trip to the big Apple at some point. Although if I do that, she is going to make me spend a day house shopping in little towns in Western NY. We have been considering buying a property in the US for sometime now and it seems her preferred past time is to find these beautiful old Victorian houses in places I don't want to live. I think she is trolling me at this point. Haha.

Western and northern NY are a different world. There is some beautiful housing stock and prices are low. But, the economy sucks and many towns are seedy or downright dangerous. I don't know your tastes, but I love the Adirondacks. It's sparsely populated with great hiking, rock climbing, etc. Nice people, too. Lake Placid is a nice compromise. Lots of restaurants and shopping and easy to get out to the wilderness.

I keep trying to tell her there is a reason you can get a 5 bedroom victorian house with a huge lot in these areas for under 250k. No one wants to live there. I imagine the Adirondacks are likely similar to a larger scale version of where we live now. I would love to check them out.

Lake Placid is also a college hockey mecca. We took a family vacation up there last summer
