Well, I sent a reply to Rosepat, but it didn't post. Sorry if I offended. I have also lived in Fl for over 20 yrs (now in Ohio) and I preferred NY too, but the crowds are intense at the parade and there are always reports of pickpockets. I just thought new visitors should be careful, but have a wonderful time. What area in Fl are you living? :) Sheila

Hi Rosepat, I miss the city too. Where in Fl (area) do you live? I lived there for over 20 yrs. I still go to Rockefeller Center too. But I do know that the parade area gets very crowded, with people on top of one another...so it's good for non NYers to be careful. The village had to have been a great place to grow up. I have a cousin who grew up there, still lives there and would never live elsewhere. I hope what I said was not offensive to you. Sheila :)

No ideas, Sheila but I just wanted to share that I grew up in Greenwich Village and loved every minute of it.  I now live in Florida.  Don't really care for it because I miss the City very much.  I go there every Christmas Holiday and go in to Rockefeller Center; it's great!

Erin -- I'm not sure where you're staying, but we just had a great meal last night at Penelope's in Murray Hill. It reminded me of how much fun I had a brunch there a year or two ago. It's casual but very cute. If you're in the area, I highly recommend the place for brunch.

Oooh...I forgot about Craft Bar. That would be lovely, too. I recently ate at Daniel for our 10th wedding anniversary...a truly exceptional meal, but very, very $$$$.

How fun, you'll be in my city! I agree with BusyBaker; Bobby Flay over Rock Center Cafe for sure. I think you should also check out Tom Colicchio's Craft Bar  -- it's hard to beat. Have a wonderful trip!

If you're planning on going to the parade, be careful of pick-pockets, and go very early! Enjoy! I miss NY, grew up there...sigh!
