In my hunting around, I did run into a helpful site for finding places to eat in NYC.

Time Out magazine’s web site.

For picking out a show to see, I generally check out reviews and deals at the following sites

I have no idea how good the information is likely to be, but I ran across an New York Times web page -

In other travel news, we were just introduced to Couchsurfing last weekend. Although I don’t know if we will be headed out into the wide world, and we are definitely too fuddyduddy to attract anyone to stay with us, there seem to be more meetups in my area scheduled through couchsurfing than through Toytown.  We went to party last Friday evening and hung out with some of the same folks the next day. Hopefully, we can arrange to have people over to our place to watch and EM game soon.
