Thanks for all the great tips. I'll be leaving in early October. I just called My two cousins Tony and Michelle who both have houses in Bayridge, Brooklyn. Tony said I could rest at his casa for maybe a few days, which is really cool. I read about some decent priced motels in Brooklyn too. I could always just stay in Brooklyn. I'll just catch the subway when I need to go check out Manahattan. My cousins told me about a cool festival coming up in Willimsburg, Brooklyn called the Giglio festa. That could be fun.
