Jyoung20 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I have some very exciting news. The pharmaceutical that makes the cancer drug that I am currently taking (Tarceva) is sending my hubby and I to New York to interview with various journalists from different women's magazines. The press conference will be held at the Waldorf. We will be staying at The "W" right across the road. Basically, all I have to do is tell my story!! I am so excited because this is a great opportunity to promote awareness with lung cancer. We have a friend that can get us tickets to a broadway show. We may do that. I have never been to New York but I have always wanted to go. If any of you have ever been, give me some sight seeing suggestions. GOD BLESS!!

Donna G Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 WOW !!!! and fun to boot! I stayed in New York once in Time Square. We went to Radio City Music Hall, saw a live show and a movie.

Ry Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Oh Jamie I am so thrilled for you. This is so wonderful. We have several regular posters that live in New York City so I am sure they will have some ideas (maybe you can all do lunch somewhere). Here is my suggestion from the one time I was there--never drive!! They're nuts. Have a great time-- I know you will make us all proud and do well.

lindseysmom Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Jamie, Wow how exciting for you. I know you will have a wonderful time. Try and go see Wicked if you can. It's wonderful show. My daughter and I saw it two years ago. I would just love to see it again. Best Wishes, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail p-m Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Wow, Jamie. An all expenses paid trip and raising awareness of lung cancer at the same time!!! Way to go-- I am from NY but have been gone many years. When I do go back, I head for my family on L.I. and seldom go into the City. However, the couple of things that do come to me that I don't think have been mentioned are the Museum of Natural History and Central Park. You go and enjoy, girl! gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niececola Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hi Jamie, That is very exciting news! I live in NYC, if you want to talk about what there is to do around town, I can send you my phone number. Best, Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanie55 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hi Jamie, Another New Yorker here. When are you coming in? I'd love to get our New Yorkers together for a lunch or even brunch. There is so much to do here. Must see Times Square. Should take a horse & buggy ride around central park. There are many site seeing buses depending how much time you have here that will enable you to do & see a lot more. Fifth Avenue is fabulous! I can also recommend great restaurants. Let me know what kind of food you like. Trendy, romantic, etc. You will definitely have a great time. Joan Feel free to pm me if you'd like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 here I am!! please let me know if you want to get together. my mom is on tarceva, too, so I am glad they're raising awareness on it. listen, I would love to make recommendations - let me know what you have in mind. I giggled at Randy's post - from a NYer point of view, the Empire State Bldg, St. Patrick's and Ground Zero are each in TOTALLY different parts of the city (I love St. Patrick's, esp.) ...but I guess, technically, they are not THAT far apart. it just shows you how different things can look to a native versus a visitor. my office overlooks Times Square. I can meet you pretty much anywhere for lunch, or whatever, if you're up for it! do let me know the details. xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyoung20 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 The trip is in 2 weeks. We leave Memphis on April 26th and return the 29th. I would absolutely love to have lunch with everyone. The 28th would probably be the best day. Where would ya'll like to meet and when? You pick and choose. Also, my hubby and I love Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Greek, steaks, ribs, fish but not Indian --we are not too picky. We really, really, really like Italian. Hope to see all of you soon!! GOD BLESS!! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisa Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 You will be right near my office! I'm sure you will be busy, but just in case, here's my cell phone no. - XXX-XXX-XXXX. This is a great opportunity to help with lung cancer awareness. Enjoy New York!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanie55 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 OK, New York gurls, lets figure this one out. Jamie likes the 28th. Italian food. Can we all make that date? Let's all think of our favorite NY Italian restaurants. Maybe one around Times Square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Mama Leones in Little Italy is the only place for Italian food Or ar ethey not around anymore!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisa Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I know of a really good Family Style Italian Restaurant on 55th & 2nd Avenue. Not the same as going to Times Square of Little Italy as far as scenery goes, but it's a really good, moderately priced Restaurant - called Angelo's Restaurant Pizzeria. Also, Chinatown is a lot of fun with great, inexpensive restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
