Bloke from Australia heading over to NYC in August

[CraigBa]

Gidday,
heading over the the US in August. First stop is Indianapolis to watch Stoney carve it up  and then heading over the NYC so the girlfriend can watch the US Open. Got 9 days in NYC staying in an apartment in Chelsea.

Any suggestions to fill in those 9 days when not being bored with the tennis?

Cheers
Craig

Monday night at Bar Matchless

A big problem in NYC is there is just too much to choose from.  A little insight to your interests might be helpful.  Do avoid Outback Steakhouse
