The Brooklynn Museum is the museum to visit in New York. No massive crowds, plenty of space to view the exhibits and outstanding collections any world class museum would giver their eye teeth to have. Blown away by Judy Chicago's "the Dinner Party" and the collection of rooms from various New York mansions and apartments that have been collected over the last 100 years.

Went there for brunch and had sabanitas and Mexican beer (great selection). Food was very good and great service staff. Need to try dinner before I could give it the top rating but I'm pretty sure I would.

Don't let the name fool you. It's not all high end fashion shops and even places like Nordstrom's and Macy's were having great sales when I was there in July. At least here I could find clothing and shopping for REAL people with REAl money...

Villa David is in the Old town above the Maelcon in a neighbourhood that is mostly Mexican, only one or two Gringos. Bill and the staff do a knockout job on the place and making you feel at home. Nice touch is one of the houseboys is a Registered Massage therapist and does an incredible job. It's away from the tackiness of the beach area and the guys who stay there are friendly, and great to spend time with. KEEP THIS PLACE A SECRET!
