New York Shooters - I've got a question!

Kansas City | MO | USA | Posted: 10:12 PM on 05.16.08 |
->> Or two or three, actually.
My daughter and boyfriend will be visiting the Big Apple this next week, and have tickets to the Mets/Yankees game this Sunday the 18th. Any of you'se guys think you might be able to get a shot of them in their seats while at the game? Email me offline for the exact seat location.
Also - they both love sushi, so what's the absolute BEST sushi place in NYC?
And, anything cool to do while there that maybe the run-of-the-mill tourist might not know about? I've been to the city a few times and have given a few suggestions to them, but I'm not a native (or even play one on TV), so I'm probably giving them the regular tourist things to do. So, any help would be appreciated!
And I realize I'll probably get about 50 different answers to the sushi question, but that's cool - I'll just pass them along to my kid.
Thanks in advance! |

->> Mark,
That would be far too easy and (of course) logical! Plus it's not the same as having a pro get a blurry, possibly noisy (night game) shot of you in the upper deck, right?
And, I'm really counting on those sushi recommendations and non-touristy tourist items as well.

->> Denny,
is this the first time your daughter and your boyfriend are visiting New York? are they looking for more things to do like nightlife or perhaps things to see during the daytime, museums? How long is their trip, tons of stuff to see (obviously) in New York. |

| ->> I don't know the best sushi place but one that is really excellent and a great value is Todai on East 32nd Street between Madison and Fifth. It's a sushi/Japanese buffet place and lunch is $16.95. Everything is fresh and it's always packed. |

->> Thanks for the responses so far! I'm passing them along to her.
Louis - she's been there with the wife and I once, but it's his first time there. They'll be staying through Wed. the 21st, coming home on the 22nd. They've got a few museums picked out to see, and of course Central Park. Possibly a Broadway show (and they know to wait in line early in the morning the day of for discounted tickets), may try and see Letterman. But they were asking about maybe some non-touristy things that would be cool to do/see that the normal tourists might not know about. NOT to include getting mugged or anything.
