sounds good Liz, I agree with most of your choices. Don't worry about having to go to lesbian bars or 'women's only spaces' - I won't drag you guys there. It's not like I'm gonna pick up women. I will just gawk like the rest of you.
We should also check to see if anyone's performing in NYC around that time. Would be cool to catch a concert.
Now, we'll wait for Bel's wish list, then we can start organizing which days to see what, whhere we should stay etc. I agree museums and stuff like that take half a day, if not the whole day.
Apparently ferries to Staten Island are free of charge.
We should get a good guide book and look through.
