He asked this year to do a semester abroad (he's 16), which I found really ballsy. It cost a fortune plus his school wouldn't let him miss class. Anyways, we fell back on a language program: English classes in the morning then organized stuff the afternoon, and Weekends off. He'll be on a sort of campus in Tarrytown with all sorts of facilities: pool, basketball courts, gym...etc. He'll be with tons of other kids his age. From what I see it's roughly 45 min to Grand Central.
Any advice besides the hand wringing "good luck in the cesspool NY has become". I get it, but I'm sure he'll be fine.
Cool things to do, things to avoid,...
I asked him if he wanted to see the Jets, he said no. Smart boy.

Seriously - tell him to watch his back on subway platforms.
Also, check for adam's apples.

16? Close to the NYC gaggle of whores? I would have him watch old US Army training films on venereal diseases etc to scare the shit out of him. He's definitely looking to get his cherry busted out of Daddy's eyesight unless you put the scare into him.

And if he does score it would most likely be on campus with the other foreign students. |

Anyone who tells him he can get AIDS from not wearing a rubber is lying.

When is he going?
Trying going North instead of the city. Hit the Green mountains or the Adirondacks. He could always keep going to Montreal (so he could practice his French?)
Really just matters what he wants to get out of his trip (besides some poontang). Lots to offer.

If its this fall, he could take the Metro North from Tarrytown to Yankee stadium for a game. About 45 min ride, under 20 bucks each way, and pretty safe as there are cawps and other fans all over the place. Safer than Manhattan, imho.

There's no way he's not going to Manhattan, he definitely wants to go. I know he wants to shop buy jeans/t shirts/sneakers..etc. And will prolly eat all day: smashburgers/Tacos/NY Pizza..etc |
