Almost forget trip to Niagra falls. The only thing I liked about it was the maid of the mist ride I like that. You wore raincoats on the boat. The rest was shit. The Canadian side is much nicer then the American side. We had to change hotels the one we stayed at was old and old people stayed there. We were young then I wanted no part of the place.

Foot, I went to TotG about twenty years ago. It closed in 2009 and reopened earlier this year. 20 years ago it was an "attraction"; lights, landscaping and I don't recall the food. I went once around Christmas time and the decorations were beyond overdone. I enjoyed it as a NY experience.

Mama Leone was on 8th ave and maybe 45th or 46th St. Way back in 1968 I took my future wife there for dinner. It was our first NYC dinner date and then we saw the re-release of "Gone With the Wind". Back then Mama's was a tourist stop for Eye-talian food in mid-town/theatre district. In the early 80's we took our daughter there for dinner, she was about 3/4 years old. We went to the Christmas Show at Radio City. Those are fond memories for the special events, not the attraction.

I'd have to say Disneyland. I can see how Vegas would be a bore if you've already been to AC and are from the east coast.
Las Vegas is only fun when you drive from CA doing what we call "a turn-around". Driving 4 hours one way to state line (usually a lil buzzed cuz u could get away with drinking n driving back in those days, no one was on the road) gambling at either Whiskey Pete's or Prima Donna, if it was winter sometimes there'd be snow on the ground (weird huh) and freezing cold with 40mph winds. Then you'd play at the $2 bj tables "holding" the cards single deck actually winning more hands than losing. By then you'd be so drunk you'd have to go outside in the cold to sober up. You'd get in your car now half bombed (still no one on the road) and you would stop in Baker go to the diner there with all the truckers or stop for fast food in Barstow eat then head back home which was another 3 hours. Those were the days.

Years ago, National Lampoon (satiric US magazine)had a "comparison" of US vs. European tourists. One entry was what tourists left behind in restaurants. US tourists: expensive sunglasses, tips. European tourists: full ashtrays.

First date with my future wife I took her to a place in manhattan called Van rapaport some place like that. We had chateaubriand for two. Small portion the owner Van would come to your table to carve it for you. For what he charged for it over 600 way over 40 yrs ago he should have chewed it for us. After we left we were still hungry?

The copa was expensive but at least you had dinner and a performance show.

We went to see Tony Bennett it was two shows a night. I wanted to stay to see both shows. The fucking waiter was trying to get me to leave to get new money at his table. Normally I would have stuck my fingers in eyes for that. But I did not want to scare my wife especially since we were not married as yet.

So I greased him and we saw the second show. I think I saw Bennet perform 8 times.
