3:00pm or thereabouts: meet Tim @ Penn Station, bring him to my apartment, get settled in
Wednesday 25 June - Tuesday 1 July: New York (dates/times TBD)
- show him around my neighbourhood (wednesday 25 or thursday 26)
- walks around various parts of Brooklyn & Manhattan - Fort Greene, SoHo, Lower East Side, Greenwich/East/West Village, Chinatown, Central Park, Coney Island, etc (ongoing)
- see Monty Python's Spamalot on broadway (parents will pick a day)
- do touristy sightseeing stuff (bus/boat tours, staten island ferry, empire state building/top of the rock, etc)
- food shopping (union square farmers market, trader joe's, etc)
- hang out with Allie & Brendon
- go see a/some museum(s) (MoMA, brooklyn museum, the met, AMNH, guggenheim, new museum, blah blee blah)
- eat a bagel
- go to an authentic tri-state area diner
- hang out with bree (weekend)
- clothes shopping with Allie
Tuesday 1 July - Thursday 3 July: New Jersey (dates/times TBD)

- Point Pleasant boardwalk (and possibly aquarium)
- Sandy Hook

- blueberry picking in the pine barrens
Thursday 3 July: New Jersey
7pm: fireworks in red bank
afterward: back to brooklyn
Friday 4 July: New York
2pm: Sonic Youth
later that evening: NYC fireworks
Saturday 5 July - Monday 7 July: New York (dates/times TBD)
- do whatever we didn't do the first week that there's time for
- get Timmy ready to go back
Monday 7 July
5:30/6ish pm: send Tim back to the airport
this is a very rough outline of ideas, and we may not have time to do everything. basically i want to be able to show him where i come from without overloading him with a schedule - he's on holiday, after all. i want to have plenty of options available though, so if anybody has any other suggestions for free or relatively inexpensive things to do, please let me know!
