Why can't I decide what's easiest/best?

Agree with above!  

If they were all within 2-3 miles and it was semi pleasant city I would walk. Otherwise if that’s not practical I think id drive to each one. Maybe take Uber.

It gives me tremendous relief to read this because I agonize over decisions, too. I always want to choose the most efficient way to complete tasks but there’s always indecision. I end up telling myself to just make a choice and go because my indecision is wasting time.

Since this is so completely foreign to the world I live in, this isn't from experience but I would want to be able to hop in the car when I was done and head home so I would park at the last stop. I think.

I’ll be the outlier here and say I would just drive even if it was a hassle/ expensive to park. My time and convenience would need to factor in too, and I can’t imagine it would save me time or money to park somewhere and Uber between stops.

In real life, I would pick places that didn’t involve going into the city if I had other alternatives. We have a retired friend who lives in the suburbs but goes to an eye doctor in downtown Minneapolis. She recently had an appointment and needed a ride there and back and was desperate so I gave her a ride. OMG, the traffic going home was a nightmare because of course she picked a time that had her getting done during rush hour. 🥴 If that was me, I’d be changing doctors. I don’t have the time or patience for dealing with that.

Omg super fun. Are you gonna grab dinner after?

Btw do you know of any hotels that have 2 rooms? Like a bedroom plus a living area that has a pull out sofa? I found one, The Beacon Hotel that looked perfect but I waited too long and now it is booked up for 1 of the nights. I’ve found some others but they don’t look great.

A big factor for me is food. If you are going to be near a favorite place can you time it around a meal time snack time coffee time or stop last and bring a chocolate babka home?! Or can you detour through and grab some dumplings lol. Have fun I think mother daughter sister bonding time is the best.

I would drive to all places.

OK, I see this is about NYC.  I would not drive anywhere.  When we go we plan to take the train, then subway or whatever to get places.

So much this.  By the end of the day, I'd be done and I wouldn't want to have to go back to the first stop to get my car if I could avoid it.

I would pick the place that is the easiest to get out of town when it is time to go home.

How fun! Congratulations to your daughter. You have to come back and tell us about Kleinfelds after you go.

Coming from Scotland, this wouldn’t be an issue. Just dress for the weather. You’ll not dissolve! If walking was feasible this would be my first choice.
