Anyone interested in doing some sightseeing on Sat before summit? Perhaps do some super touristy type like go to statue of liberty or hang in time square. Reply to this thread if you are interested.

I booked my ticket a month ago. Where were you then? I don't fly in until Sat. afternoon.
But I can't wait to meet you finally!
By the way, the Mets suck.

The Mets may suck this year but watch out for 2011!
Perhaps we can connect Sat night. Any parties you would recommend?

I recommend the Circle Line Manhattan cruise. We are booked up for Saturday with Audience Conference, but are looking at Wednesday. Yes, we live in NYC, but don't get into Manhattan nearly enough 
I also recommend walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. We were going to organize a photo walk for that, but it has been too humid and hot to be able to plan it for sure. Recommend taking the train to Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side and walking back over it towards Manhattan. Early evening it is really awesome.

Thanks for the tip about Brooklyn. Is the train the best way to get there? Also, how long does it take to get there from Manhattan?

Tony - The train is the best way to get the foot of the Brooklyn bridge on the Brooklyn side. It is about 25-30 minutes. The "F" train from Rockefeller Station near the Hilton to the York street station in Brooklyn and walk a few blocks and you are on the bridge.
The train is also the best way to get to the Mets stadium.

Well David I can't call it Shea Stadium and I refuse to call it Citi Field so by default it is the Mets Stadium
