I never find myself running out of things to do, see, or eat in New York City.  What I have to remember is that while on vacation,  I need to relax.  Being in the the city that never sleeps makes that a task I actually have to plan for. On my most recent trip to The Big Apple, I made it a priority to spend time with family who were also vacationing there for the weekend as well as visit the 9/11 Memorial and pay my respects to the thousands who lost their lives 10 years ago.  New York is a fast paced city where taxis rule the road, but I find that if you stop for a moment to really take it all in, you too will realize that it is a fantastic melting pot of concrete, culture, and cuisine that make everyone proud to be an American.
