Manhattan is a very safe city....nothing to be paranoid about.

I have never felt unsafe in Manhattan, even in Greenwich or Soho. It only gets scary when you leave Manhattan, in my opinion.

By they way, make sure your son sees the ferris wheel inside Toys R Us in Times Square. My 18 year old son and 20 year old nephew even rode it, which made hilarious pictures but they had fun. Also there is a huge Lego display on one floor that he would enjoy.

He is already saving his money for Toys R Us. lol

"Devout" carnivores go on "pilgrimages" to this "venerable" Williamsburg cow "Valhalla" that's our surveyors' choice as the No. 1 steakhouse in NYC for the 23rd year running; its "matchless" "marbled beef" is of such "juicy" "perfection" that fans freely forgive the "crusty" service and "macho" "Bavarian beer hall" setting; they also say "fugeddabout the menu" and stick with those porterhouses, and "bring lots of cash" to cover those plastic-less "prime" prices.

J-Roc,

What is there to do in Brooklyn? My son wants to go. I think we are going to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and then I don't know what we can do besides eat. lol

You can take a subway under the river, which is pretty cool in itself and you don't have to walk over there. Get some good Manhattan skyline shots from the Brooklyn side; it's beautiful from there. There is a good little ice cream shop right on the edge of Brooklyn there where you see the skyline, if you're walking back that way from Grimaldi's.
