Off to NYC

As the title says, Mrs Rootbeer7 and I are going to New York for a few days celebrating her big birthday!
We're staying in SoHo, any WIS things we could accidentally walk into?!!!

Was just there for 5 nights and 6 days myself, and never stepped foot in a watch shop!
Far to many other interesting things to see/do/taste, unless of course you're in the market to buy another watch, then a few of the larger stores may be something to look at.

If you pass 57th walk in to the Holiday inn where Joe the owner is a huge Rolex fan.

The dollar makes an attractive sell/trade proposition! Really looking forward to it as I've never been.

Understandable, and I must say, my wife was completely shocked when we walked passed Rolex HQ on 5th Ave, and I said let's keep walking...

As for a trade, the dollar difference may work on your side, but I think you'd be better off working with a seller here on trade, than any buyer/trader brick and mortar store in Manhattan.

Have fun no matter, we did!!

In fact, didn't have time for watches! What an incredible city. Stayed in SoHo and walked around 10 miles each day. 9/11 memorial left us speechless, Central Park beautiful, Staten Island ferry the best free ride ever.
