Dec 21 2007 New York Harry

Heading for New York on January 1. Taking Harry who has been a rock in a difficult year with his mum's illness.
He has uncomplainingly helped out whenever asked (although he did have an unseemly altercation with his mum yesterday over taking a Christmas card to a neighbour's home - I stayed out of it).
So - we fly out on New Year's Day. Have tickets to see a couple of Braodway Shows but anxious for blogosphere advice on what we absolutely must visit.
Let me know.
Great night at the Echo Carol Concert at the Anglican Cathedral on Wednesday. Compered by our own Joe Riley, more than 800 attended the event.
Awesome building and awesome performance by the choristers and choirmasters.
Also enjoyed the inimitable Pauline Daniels doing 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'. Sing, dance, act straight, act comedy, do stand-up...the woman is a genius.
Morgan's nativity is now my screensaver...replacing Claire Sweeney. Sorry Claire, you'll be back in the New Year, don't give up on me.

For the bext view of New York, forget about the Empire State Building - do Rock at the Top at the Rockefeller Center instead, it's a much better experience and you have the added bonus of actually seeing the Empire State Building. Shorter queues and a better experience overall

The Sopranos tour is a must.

It follows the real route Tony drives during the opening credits, through the NJ turn-pike.

Takes in a stop for Ziti at Satriales and a beer in the real Bada Bing.

What? The first day of Liverpool's Capital of Culture status and the man behind the Echo's turgid and tedious coverage of such an overhyped non-event decides to make for real cosmopolitan climes! A great show of faith in this city of ours. Love Liverpool? Love the New York Echo!

Echo Editor

I'm Alastair Machray, editor of the Liverpool Echo. I believe, I truly believe, it's Britain's best paper in Britain's best city. And I'm so proud to be here.

After 26 years is the business I'm happier than ever. Every morning I jump out of bed looking forward to work (well, mostly). Home? It's a war zone.
