Okay, so here's the plan.
Thursday: Bus into city around 6pm, go to Dredg show.
Friday: Bus into city around 6pm, go to Blackfield show.
Those are the boring days, tourism wise.
Saturday: Bus in whenever, hop a subway to the American Museum of Natural History. Stay there until it closes at 5:30 and then walk south through central park and eventually end up at the Theater where I'll be seeing the Book of Mormon at 8:00pm.
Sunday: Going to be doing a LOT of walking. Basically coming into Port Authority and walking the route South as Zero suggested, visiting a lot of parks, ground zero, wall street, city hall, Federal Hall national memorial, and eventually ending up at the Upright Citizen's Brigade theater for the 5:30 show. After I'll be taking the LIRR off to see ZepDT.
Monday: Train back into the city, take the subway north of the Natural History Museum and work my way south-east across central park until I come to the Met. I've never been much for art but I figure it's worth stopping in and checking out considering if I don't like it I just won't pay. Then it's a walk or sub ride down to The Blender Theater to see Neal Morse before heading back to Jersey to get back in my car and drive home so I can get a few hours of sleep before my class on Tuesday.
Thanks everyone!
