Hey everyone! I already know all the brands I like so I_m visiting that but is there any other really nice boutiques in NYC? or sightseeing places? Please help me because when I go, I don_t want to just go for shopping, I also want to go for experiences and memorable times. Thanks! and luv you all!

Saks Fifth Avenue store, Cartier, Every designer boutique you can think of. Disney World Store. Build a bear workshop and umm alot! Japanese book store called Kinokuniya. Apple store.
Rockfeller Center- ice skating and big tree!
Soho, Chinatown to buy alot of stuff. Alot of stores. levis to footlocker to bloomingdales. Kidrobot, designer toys
FAO Schwartz, world_s biggest toy store near Saks.
34th street! Macys hearld Square AE store
Madison Square Garden

I was told to go to Macy_s and Saks for the displays. I_m also heading to Bloomingdales next week and FAO Schwarz. Have fun! I know I will.

None, unless you have lots of money to spend! If you_re coming during the holidays you might have a chance at some sales and stuff.
You could visit the 80ft Rockefeller Tree, the Empire State Building, China Town/Delancy (lots of purses and shoes), Soho (also lots of boutiques) and of course the world famous 42nd Street!
Happy traveling!

None of them its murder! lol...got back tuesday and the police have to control the people trying to shop!!!! try shopping down up broadway, loads of the shops you have to que up outside of due to the amount of people trying to get in!
Do all the sight seeing stuff, its really good fun. i really enjoyed the sightseeing buses as very informative. have fun and spend lots! we did!

Wheres the best place to getaway and see the leaves in Virginia for the weekend?|123302

We_re looking for a nice mountain town to see the fall leaves before they are gone! This weekend.

I did Skyline Drive at the weekend and the leaves seemed to be past their best (certainly based upon what we saw in the first week of November last year).

However the views are superb and my father who hadn_t done it before really enjoyed it. If you are tempted to do it don_t get on at the Front Royal end, start further south and head north. It is MUCH busier heading south than north.

I recently went there and hated it x.x the roads we went on were so curvey and we went up into the hills! It was enough to make me sick with all the bumps...Also we were in senic NOWHERE, Just driving on an endless bumpy road trying to get to civilization. My family went and we were ready to get the hell back home by the time it was over. I would opt for you just watching videos and getting pictures of the leaves ;)

As mentioned above, check out the fall foliage in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia -- Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns -- about 75 miles from the District.

Go to Lynchburg or that area. Skyline drive has some breathtaking views! It_s very moutanious and scenic. Bring a camera!

I surely agree with Skyline Drive.... While there be sure to stop thru Luray Caverns (www.LurayCaverns.com) breathtaking :) Can Always take the Appalachian Trail

Anywhere in the western part of the state is great. I drove up and down I-81 3 weeks ago and the color was just starting to really show.

Lynchburg, petersburg, anything near WV really lol

Not sure but a nice long drive on the scenic Skyline Drive should do it. What about Shenandoah Valley?

How much money would i need to move to New York?|141555

How much money would I need to move to NYC (I specifically want to live in Brooklyn) without having a job or an apartment already waiting for me. I would plan to find an temp apartment prior to moving there, and once in that apartment, start a job search. I don_t need a fancy place, just a studio is fine. How much money do you thinK I would need in that situation? And don_t just say a lot, but around how much?

Well, I hate to break it to you, but, if you just want to move here because NYC looks cool on TV shows like _Friends_ or _Seinfeld_ or _How I Met Your Mother_ or _Sex In The City,_ or in Woody Allen movies, be advised that that_s just a total fantasy version of the city, a fairy tale, so to speak, and, unless you are quite literally a millionaire, your life here will not be ANYTHING like that... not even a little bit!

Good luck, and the link below is to a webpage about just how expensive it really is to live in New York City...

Without a job some landlords might be reluctant to rent to you. This is NYC while your intentions of getting a job once you are here are good, landlords want to know they are going to have their rent money every month and that means proving you have income to cover it. Assuming you can find someone who will rent to you under your terms, you will need first and last month_s rent - so you want a good area say like Brooklyn Heights studios are in the $1350 range so that_s $2700 right there. You have to eat and have transportation (unlimited ride metro cards are $89 per month). So VERY realistically? Knowing you don_t have a job before your arrival - AT LEAST $6,000 and that is rock bottom - don_t forget you_ll have to buy furniture, turn on utilities and have tons of minor incidental expenses that justify having that much money to start you off.

About 5,000 would be good to atleast rent the place and have money to connect elec,cable,water etc. and have some spending money but your gonna need to have income because that 5,000 will go soon.
