trip to N.Y

hello my girlfriend is flying N.Y this summer and i would like to know if u could give me the adrresses of any high quality fish store to buy some interesting stuff!!
also would like to say that if you live in New york and have spare and free or not very expensive frags (not weak frags because of the flight) she would happily carry them Spain where they'll start growing and changing 4 other people to have them too!!
Last but not least,do the US goverment have any problems in checkin in the airport with corals or frags on the hand luggage or in the case??
thank u for the attention!!

sometimes think that N.Y is not much bigger than madrid...but that's when i'm not thinking it 2 much...:P
dunno really when she is staying but guess she'll do trips all around the city,all the museums,interesting spots,etc...
i planned she could do all her stuff and going to some stores and buy some corals,speak with the managers so everrything is ready for the flight and the last day,pick up everything a few hours before going to the airport. i'll ask her where is she staying. thanks!! any prohibitios of exporting corals?? thank u very much!!!

New York is a rather large state in the US.

You staying in manhattan or queens? I know some good places in Queens if you arent afraid of the subway system.

matthewscars why should i be scared of the subway system??
know it's the biggest one,but we know how to use it
guess she'll stay in one of the posh parts,and that she'll cross New york probably for sight seeing
no problem exporting corals in the airport???(about 5 pieces max.)
does somebody know something bout this??

thnks all!!

What airport? Assuming JFK, you have to go through Queens to get there anyway.

You should call JFK or whoever to make sure these frags dont get stuck in customs for any amount of time.

WWOF has a lot of zoas/softies and tons of LPS/SPS in the back. Decently priced. I dont remember the others, havent been in a long time.
