In a little ov
er a week I’m headed to New York City for a writer’s workshop. I write erotic romance and when Dr. Charley Ferrer announced she was going to present a BDSM for Writers workshop, based on her book – I was all over it. I’m so excited to meet Dr. Charley and to get an opportunity to research BDSM for my writing. Dr. Charley is a Clinical Sexologist & Therapist and a radio talk show host too.
I’ve never been to New York before. I’m planning to go out a day early and stay an extra day to do even more research. There’s a Museum of Sex i
n New York. Did you know that? I didn’t until I watched an episode of Millionaire Matchmaker and one guy took a lady there for a date. I MUST see this museum. Not only does it sound like a lot of fun, but it’s research. Perfect. Grin…
I’ll be staying at a hotel in midtown just blocks from Central Park. Central Park will be gorgeous and it should be within walking distance of my hotel. There are so many things I want to see and do while I’m in New York. Of course, one of the coolest parts of the workshop will be opportunities to visit leather shops and other adult sorts of stores. We’re even scheduled to visit a BDSM club with our most excellent instructor.
But I plan to take in some “tourist” sites while I’m there too, like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. I’m feeling overwhelmed by all the possibilities though. I should take a trip on the subway. Experience a cab ride and maybe even a horse drawn carriage ride around Central Park. Are there any “research” sites or tourist places I should make sure to visit? I’m looking for suggestions. If you were headed for New York City, where would you want to go?

I’ve been to New York onceas a kid for dinner (We were visiting relatives in CN) and once as an adult. We were only there for about 26 hours, but my cousin gave us a whirlwind tour of the city. I still get goosebumps when I look at the pictures of us on top of the World Trade Center tower.
Have fun!
Debra,
Thanks for stopping by to comment. Even though I won’t be there as long as I’d like to be, I’m really looking forward to things. You’re really lucky to have photos from the Twin Towers.

I have never been to New York but I want to go. I would like to visit the World Trade Center site. Have fun for me while you are there my friend.
Walk in harmony,
Melinda
Hi Francesca,
I look forward to having you join me for the BDSM for Writers 3-Day workshop. You’re one of the elite members of the inaugural event. Yahoo! I would say, add the Empire State Building to your list. The observation deck is supposed to be spectacular. I’ve never been so maybe we can go together. I’d stay away from the trains, never take them. Cabs are great! And my favorite statue is just behind the Wall Street Bull and across from Battery Park sitting in front of the Smithsonian Indian Museum; what used to be the old Customs Building. The statue is gorgeous. It’s a woman sitting on a throne with one arm on the Sphinx and the other on a lion and she’s sleeping. Imagine…conquering the world then taking a nap. Heaven. I just love it!
Look forward to seeing you soon.
Live with passion,
Dr. Charley Ferrer
Sounds like a great time, Franscesca! Can you take pictures at the museum of sex? LOL Seriously, would love to check that out. I went to NYC for the first time last year. I would love to go back! Have a blast!
