We might stop at Hunter’s Point on the way back from Citi Field, depending on how late it is and how easy we can get there, then back to Manhattan.

> I think you said something about not wanting to be out after midnight but did anyone mention the Midnight Moment? Every night at 11:57 there is a synchronized art show on all the electronic billboards in Times Square. The show changes monthly using different artists. It only lasts 3 minutes but its usually impressive

I don’t want to be out too late the evening before we leave but it’s going to be a very short stay, so we’ll try to do as much as possible. If we’re still up and awake, we’ll stay for this.

We flew back home yesterday. Everything went very well thanks in large part to your advice.

We were there for 4 days, and discovered many places we hadn’t been to the first time around. Some of them are now on our updated list of favourites : Brooklyn Heights, Pier 35, North Cove Yacht Harbor, and new (to us) areas of Central Park. Also, the baseball game at Citi Field was a great experience.

Like the first time, I cannot thank you all enough for the great suggestions. That’s it for New York now, but we already have our sights on new destinations this summer : Los Angeles solo for my older daughter, and Indonesia for me.

Thank you !
