yes my name really has all those in it. you can pronounce it anyway you want as long as it''s not profanity. i am going to visiting new york in less than 2 wks for the first time and am hoping to get some good tips from all of you locals for good places to eat, shopping, visit, etc. on a budget. i keep hearing new york has really good shopping and of course everyone''s perspective of "good" is different. i''ve been researching for the last 3 weeks different tours, places to visit, dining, and shopping. it''s quite overwhelming because new york soooooo much to offer and do there''s only so much we can do in 1 week''s time. i am open to any suggestions you all have.

thanks
