It's a wonderful town?

We've set the date for our vacation this year, right at the beginning of July. Off for a whirlwind tour of New York, Boston, and Cape Cod. We are going to try to catch a Yankees game and a Red Sox game, so we can mark off 2 more Baseball Stadiums from our list. Other main things to do is see just how big Central Park really is, climb up to the top of the Statue of Liberty, eat real NY pizza, bagels, and a hot dog from a street vendor. I would mention using the Subway, but that'll happen without us really trying. We'll go see a Broadway show, go to the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater on Sunday night to see ASSSSCAT! with Amy Poehler. There's an Ice Cream place in Cape Cod (or do you say 'on' ?) we saw on FoodTV once that Jen has been to. We'll fly to NY on Thursday night the 3rd on the redeye, spend the first part in NY, then rent a car and drive to Cape Cod. One of the best parts is that Jen has friends in both places, so we don't have to spend a dime on our sleeping arrangements! Very lucky. We're both pretty excited, me because I've never been there, and would like to get real pictures with my eyes of all these things I've seen other people's pictures of, and Jen because she has been, many times, loves it, and can't wait to show it all to me.
Some side goals that would be fun to add...
Buy a fake Rolex from a guy carrying them in his trench coat
Get mugged
Yell at a cab "eeeeeeey, I'm walkin' heea"
Try to beat some guy on the street with three cards on a cardboard box
Go to TRL and scream with the teenagers for the next big music star
Go to the top of the Empire State Building and eat a banana (sometimes my humor is too subtle)
Find the most embarrassing and stereotypical New York tourist hat and wear it all over town
Tell a Yankees fan that I love the Red Sox... and run away
Tell a Red Sox fan that I love the Yankees ... and run away
Ask a typical New Yorker where in the world they have these Philly Cheese Steaks hidden

Luckily, I still have a good 2 months to think of more.
