I need to rely on you tell me how many weeks it is till we go, as we arrive day before you......lol.....
I hear you on the NY cabs. Our second trip we came from LI I to the city and got out from Penn St and got in a Cab. I knew the fare should only be $12 or so, but the metre was already on $20.........didn't say anything till we were more than half way there and told him his metre was broken.......he tried to claim he forgot from last fare......so he had to put it back to zero after I got stroppy and told him it wasn't my first rodeo.......fare ended up being $4..........first time I never tipped. He never complained either.
You'll enjoy Cowfish, it is good. We missed Sugar Factory last year too.......hearing mixed reviews on it, so not sure whether to go or not.
Getting closer..........
