Visiting in September!

Greetings all!
I am an American Expat currently living in Kenya but I will be coming back to the States in September. I am a WestCoaster from Oregon and have never been on the East Coast despite all of my travels abroad. So as a grand hoorah! I will be passing through NYC on my way home. If anyone is around in September and interested in showing me the sights it would be very cool. I love making friends and would really enjoy seeing New York with a real New Yorker. I'll be staying in a hostel for 2 nights and then will be headed south unless I hit it off with some new friends and can find a place to crash. I'm posting this now so we can get a chance to know each other and I won't look like a stranger if/when we meet.
ME:
Musician: Piano, Violin/viola/Cello, Guitar
Dancer: Lyrical/Ballet, Salsa, WestCoast Swing, EastCoast Swing, Chacha, rumba, waltz, Blues, Square Dance (Modern)
Sports: Soccer, Basketball, Baseball
Outdoors: Camping, Hunting, Rock Climbing, Horse riding

Kenya to New York almost has to be an enormous difference.

So how was NYC?

What did you find there?  Did you stand awhile and stare?  Did you meet anyone?
