Kit requirements for New York trip

[arcamalpha]

Hi all,

Off to New York tomorrow with the girlfriend. She's got a little compact digital and I'll take a 10D.

Question is, I want to travel light, so only one lens for me. What to take?

I like street scenes and tend to shot at around the 35-40mm range, but that's covered by her compact. So do I go longer or wider?

Cheers for the suggestions guys. I think I'll take a 17-40 and squeeze a fish eye in too if the G/F doesn't notice!
