It's on 49th St a couple doors east of the Today Show set. Also don't miss the ceiling mural inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza, affectionately known as "The Crotch" [giggle]. It coulda been a Diego Rivera (long story). After the MAD exhibit, check out the two MOMA shops (there may not be enough time to check out MOMA itself, sigh) next door and across the street. If you're taking public transportation, try an unlimited ride MetroCard. Groups may find sharing a cab is less expensive. Good luck, have fun, and see ya there!

I just (literally, this afternoon) booked a ticket to arrive at 6:30 that evening to visit my sisters. I'll have to see if I can exchange my ticket. For any other boston-area people who are thinking of going, greyhound is $30 round-trip, and the Fung Wah is even less, if you don't mind it's record of flipping over, catching on fire, etc. SHOOT!

I'm a fan of your podcast, and I think it's great that you and friends are heading to NYC to REPRESENT! I live in Florida all the time, but I'm up in NY/NJ at least once per month. I would like to second the recommendation to hit up School Products. You might also visit Habu Textiles (paper yarns! bamboo! weaving stuff!) - not your ordinary yarn store. Another great one is Knit NY - they open late most nights and have a cafe. Make sure if you go there you hit up the sale yarns in the "back room"; there's nothing "clearance" about them.

(http://seaportyarn.com/) They are not you typical Yarn Shop. Although they are in lower manhattan, it is still a great store. I however will definitely make it to see the Yarn Harlot. Had to take half a day, to visit some yarn shops and all. Have a great time! Hi,

I remember that you came in looking for massive amounts of yarn to knit a huppa (did I spell that correctly? my apologies if I didn't). Anyway, just to avoid your finding out the hard way (that being showing up only to see an empty space with a "for lease" sign in the window), the store closed last week, and now we former employees are home knitting our stash. I would have enjoyed seeing you again, and I have enjoyed your podcast now & again. Anyway, just wanted you to know in case you didn't already & have a great time in NYC! Hi-
