NYC area in mid-July: what should we do/see?

[MosportGreen66]

Welcome to our backyard! SO much to do! If your staying in NYC I would try to get around to dinner with a Broadway show. I recommend Smith and Wolinski's or Peter Luger's steak house! Check out Ground Zero, Statue of liberty (if you have never been). Also look into the museums. Central Park? Yankee Game? If there is no game then take a tour of the stadium! Walking on Yankee Stadium's grass is a wicked cool experience. Maybe take an afternoon check out Vette Works or Corvette Repair for some restoration action? Philly is about 2 hours plus or minus traffic, DC is about 4 plus or minus traffic. There is so much to do! If we're home, maybe Tom and Joe can come down too and we have a BBQ at our place? We're 25 minutes from NYC... Good Luck Rob!
