There has never been a better summer to visit Manhattan. This is one of the coolest summers on record. Temperatures have rarely been above the low 80's. We often have at least a few days when the highs hit the 90's. Not this year. We have had more rain than usual but aside from that it has been balmy and comfortable.
Due to the economic climate, prices are dropping everywhere. Restaurants all over town have special deals. There are also some amazing events scheduled for August. One of my favorites is the free Lincoln Center Out of Doors series. This year they are featuring some amazing musicians like Bang on a Can Orchestra, as well as theater, dance, and roots music: http://www.lincolncenter.org/press_release/PR_OOD09_Announcement_5-5-09.pdf
I am taking my little cousin to an exciting-sounding new event called "The Rockette Experience". Girls 10 and older get a behind-the-scenes tour and are taught two Rockette dance routines by an actual Rockette dancer: http://www.radiocity.com/rockettes/ If you know a girl who loves jazz or tap dance class, this is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to plan a NYC vacation around.
