I lived on the southern tip of Florida, and that whole area has got something for every imaginable type of visitor. Gorgeous weather, serene beaches, rolling waves, restaurants/clubs you couldn't dream of, people from every culture imaginable, awesome wildlife, scuba diving, rock climbing, NASA, Disney World etc. The only actually bad thing for a tourist would be the traffic, but seeing as you're in London, perhaps you're accustomed to traffic jams.

Good morning Val. I maybe a bit partial, but if you haven’t been to New York yet, this is the one city everyone must see or rather “experience” at some point. You will find every and anything in this City, within reasonable walking distance. Exciting at all times, New York really never sleeps nor does it ever cease to entertain. From the often bizarre spectacle of its citizenry, to its idiosyncratic architecture, NYC is a constantly developing phenomenon. Although, weakened by the economy, this is still the financial and commercial capital of the world, with all that necessarily derives from it: a condensed hyper life throughout what really is a small town “Manhattan”. While it would help to have maps and schedules for where and when events may be, you will find that one can simply stroll by scores of possibilities. Rarely will you be bored by an empty street, as theaters, concert halls and music clubs, restaurants, bars and cafes, along with the endless windows of the most amazing retail operations will intensely hypnotize you. Every style of music or cuisine is performed by the finest. This city still represents the ultimate stage for any performer, artist or business, and you will experience its energy and intensity wherever you choose to go. When I walk the streets of my still favorite area, downtown (Greenwich Village, Soho, Meat-Packing) to put it with Dylan “there is music in the cafes and revolution in the air”. However, unless you do not mind Antarctic weather, I would plan for the late spring. That is the time of the year I chose and came here 23 years ago…. and called it home ever since.

Thanks guys. We've come to a decision - New York it is! Question now is WHEN, and once that's decided we have to organise it - something we're not too good at. Too many choices brings on the inertia. You chose wisely.... I will gladly assist in your plans, Val, if you should need any additional information or insight. Although i am too old to "club" i am a reliable resource for "clubbing, dining, nights-out and all-nighters in the city" but also for some daytime outings, Meuseum, Galleries, a romantic lunch in the park, or a brunch with a view, and of course about some of that stuff we cherish here.... "music". Regardless, have tons of fun.
