Amputee in Manhattan want to kill some time

I'm a 70 year old amputee who is going on a church sponsored bus trip to NY
City. We should arrive Wednesday 12/10/03 about 10:00AM around 43rd &
Broadway. Where can I go - not too far e.g. by cab-to kill 3 hours before the
show "Mama Mia" which at starts 2:00PM in the Wintergarden Theater (51st &
Broadway). I can walk but only for a few streets without resting for a few
minutes. Any other suggestions for dinner after the show would be appreciated.
Please e-mail me at .

If the weather is nice, I would suggest Central Park. If not, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both have plentiful places to sit and are
ideal for visits of a few hours. There is a restaurant for lunch inside
the museum and there are food vendors in the park.

I'll leave the after-show restaurant suggestions to others.

Whaddayawannado? You could run up to a "name" deli like the Carnegie
or the Stage and have a bite to eat. It'd be 5 ft from the curb to
the door. They have those "on and off" bus tours you could take
just to see the town. You could go down to Wall Street and see
the Exchange, although I'd think walking around in the exchange
might be more than you're interested in. You might like FAO Schwartz,
really big toys, be a kid again. Circle line? Not sure if you have time
but there was a Circle Line boat that would swing you around the
southern tip and the Statue and all.

Three hours is not enough time for either an off and on bus tour or
Circle Line. Taxing to a good restaurant is a good idea, or taxi to
42nd Street and Sixth Avenue where you will find Bryant Park, a
sophisticaled urban park smack in the middle of the high rises. Have
some lunch and watch New Yorkers doing the same on the grass
or at little tables.

Last time I was there, they'd also brought the library out into the park, as
it were, with a few shelves of books available for reading while sitting out
there. For the digitally-inclined, there is free high-speed Wifi access to
the internet as well.
