Well, I know I'm jumping into this thread late, but my first visit to NYC was back in July, and it was great! I can't wait until I can get back to visit Annsan and do some serious sight-seeing (which I didn't do much of when I was there). I only did 1/2 day of street-shooting, and it was paradise. Robert, as for your concern WRT the safety of the *istD in the Big Apple, I wouldn't worry about it, especially as one assumes you'll be frequenting tourist areas. I carried my Leica (which admittedly doesn't look like an impressive camera) all around Manhatten, Brooklyn and Jersey City, and no one gave me a second glance. I wouldn't say that I went into any "scary" areas, but where I went (at all hours of the day and night) was pretty safe. Now if you had a real camera, like a Canon... <LOL> Anyway, have a great time!! Sounds like you'll hit New England at the height of leave-turning season.
