Any Suggestions?

Lots of knitting around here, but no photos of it. I frogged the bulky rainbow yarn baby cardi and instead I'm knitting the Dumb Baby Sweater from "Knitting in Plain English" that Gwen gave me. What a great book--it's like info-tainment. And after the FABOLOUS yarn crawl on Saturday with the grrls ("What do you do?" "I be FABOLOUS. That's what I do, you know?"), I've got lots to keep me busy (not like I was aching for more projects in the queue, or yarn for the stash, for that matter, but when you must, you must). ANYway, I also cast on some Cottonfleece for another cotton hat for The Neefer. He's just about worn out the Jewish Settler's Hat I made last spring out of kitchen cotton, and his coworkers (who named it, not me) are maybe a little tired of looking at it. I'm working up my own basic cable pattern for it, nothing fancy, but I'm a little worried about cabling with cotton. I hope it goes well.

I'm leaving for New York on Thursday night and I'm excited but still in disbelief. I'm taking the baby with me and my mom is coming along. We're visiting Blue, who you see here in our diningroom with Liz (he's holding oranges, she's got her toothbrush--strange?). We're meeting Liz's parents on Friday night. They live in Long Island, and I'm trying hard to be cool with the fact that we just may weird them out. Because we're just weird. C'est la vie. Still, they like Blue (based mostly on the fact that he has no tattoos or bodypiercings aside from both his ears, which doesn't count for anything anymore). My question for you is this: what should I do in New York? I'm planning on hitting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, maybe the American Folk Arts Museum, Magnolia Bakery for the cupcakes, and I'm thinking perhaps the Guggenheim. But I don't want it to be all museums and all cupcakes all the time. What else should I not miss? What about *ahem* yarn stores *cough*? I've been to Canada, Mexico, and Europe, but never what is arguably the cultural capital of the world. I'm so excited.
