Welcome to FR! One person at a time, that's all we need to convert... BTW, visited NY city (Manhattan) a few years ago (before 9/11), LOVED it, especially Bryant Park.
I love New York too, though it still pains me not to see those two exclamation points in lower Manhattan. I don't think I will ever get used to it. But tomorrow I am taking my daughter to the Christmas show and the Rockefeller Center tree as always. Come back and visit again! And we're not all libs here...
