No, I live in Houston, (when I'm stateside) but one of my sisters lives on the Upper East Side. I try to get up to NYC about once a year. I love hanging out there, seeing my sis and plus I'm a total theater geek and have to get my fix. :-)
We were downtown Monday doing touristy stuff and encountered the hippies as we were walking up Broadway right at Wall St. I saw that Ron Paul sign and said "I KNEW it!" and raised my camera with glee. LOL
Then we went to Zuccotti Park and taunted the unwashed for a bit.
Speaking of unwashed, have you scoped out the Sheila Jackson Lee soundboard?
