[lbo-talk] what to do in NY, NY this week?

[Sean Johnson Andrews]

sorry to intrude on the more pressing discussions of late, but I know many 
people on this list are residents of NYC.  My college age sister and her 
boyfriend are here in DC w/ me visiting and we are all planning to head to 
New York later this week.   He's a cellist and she's interested in feminist 
theory and religion: they're both savvy about contemporary music and seem to 
enjoy all the art museums we've gone to down here.  I could refer to a 
guidebook but we only have a few days and I thought some of you might have 
suggestions for things to do *right now* in NY.

 i.e.
-exhibits that are going on that we shouldn't miss (I know the thing at the 
Whitney is having its biennial  now...anything else?  What about theatre? 
I've tried to wade through recent reviews but can't tell if there is 
anything that is must see.)

-good places to eat/hang out that also happen to be cheap enough for 
college/grad students. we're staying near 49th and lexington but anything 
accessible by subway would be great.  coffee shops, pizza joints, delis or 
just interesting neighborhoods are especially desired.  "grown up" 
restaurants would be good too as parents will be joining them next weekend.

-anything else you wish clueless tourists would do instead of seeing a 
broadway musical or times square in order to appreciate the city.

I'd appreciate any pointers--even if it is just to a particularly good 
website or resource.

thanks in advance.
