i'm going to NYC - where shouLd i go?

[sniffa]

i figure i'LL do some site-seeing, and Lots of pahtying (at Least 1 night). can anyone reccomend any attractions, pLaces, cLubs i shouLd try to attend whiLe i'm there?

i'LL be there for 2 days tops, so i gotta cram it aLL in.

[LisaLynne]

1. The Met!

Absolutely the coolest museum I have ever been to. But, with only 2 days, you won't be able to do it all.

[pagerbear]

2. My place, dude!

[sniffa]

24. are you near here?

[pagerbear]

32. Not at all

When will you be in NYC?

[sniffa]

33. i'm driving out tomorrow

[Kathy in Cambridge]

3. there are lots of good bahs theah

what kind ah you looking for? trendy or dive bah?

there are also lots of good restaurants. what kind of food do you like?

[sniffa]

15. i know we'LL probabLy end up at a dive bah

but if we're gonna go out, i'd Like to hit one of those freaky cLubs that onLy ny has (does "the vauLt" stiLL exist?) - better than manrays. or "paddLes" - i'm sure there's more cLubs of that nature, i just don't know em.

as for food, i'LL eat aLmost anything. i pLan on hitting one of those tiny, hoLe-in-the-waLL, middLe eastern take out for some faLafeL (speLLed horribLy wrong) and schwarma.

[livetohike]

4. I love the Metropolitan Museum of Art

and the clubs in the Village.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. McSorley's

[mrboba1]

6. Sox game?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. YES!

:evilgrin:

[mrboba1]

19. Kick some Yankee$ ASS!!!!

:evilgrin:

[sniffa]

18. ooh, i forgot about that

unLike fenway, i hear yankee stadium tix are easy to come by. is that so? even for a sox game?

[mrboba1]

21. I bet they are officially sold out...

but I'm sure if you have some cash you can score some...
(just don't wear the Sox stuff when buying - they'd jack up the price!)

[sniffa]

28. they might notice my accent though

i'LL have to remember to Leave out any "ah" words. ;)

[mrboba1]

34. oh yeah - I forgot about that....

:shrug:

:D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. ask liontamer

maybe she can show you around...i wont be there

[name not needed]

8. Gray's Papaya

Best hot dogs anywhere.

[sniffa]

30. is that a stand?

if i can, i'LL probLy get a chicago dog in centraL park - is that the pLace to go?

[name not needed]

35. Not really

It's at 2090 Broadway, Corner 71st. 75 cent hot dogs. You can't beat that.

[sniffa]

36. but then

what the heLL's in them?

[On the Road]

9. Just Walk Around Some Neighborhoods

They're all different and all worth looking at. The Village, SoHo, Lower East Side, Chinatown, Little Italy, Mid-Town, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem, and all the in-between places. Make your own discoveries. You can do this for days and never have it be repetitive.

[Lautremont]

10. Go to Chibi's Bar.

It would help if I could remember exactly where it was, I suppose. Lower East Side, anyway. But if you go there you'll meet Chibi himself, and maybe he'll model one or two of his little coats for you.

[liontamer]

11. It's good to think of nyc as neighborhoods

So do the village(east at night, west during day), times square, theater

[LynneSin]

13. sure, you couldn't go when I was there

:cry:

[Trajan]

14. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a MUST SEE ....

I also took in the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Chelsea District, Union Square and the NYU district, Rockefeller Square, Madison Avenue, Times Square, Ground Zero and the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island ...

I was going to try to go to the Bobby Flay and Mario Batali restaurants, but I didnt find them in time ....

I did love Ray's Pizza in Cooper Square too ... damned great pizza ....

We had 3 kids with us, we didnt do much 'partying' ...

Have fun ... New York is amazing .... Even just walking around is amazing .... the city has a pulse you can almost taste ....

[Goldmund]

16. 2 days??? hahaha

I say go to Central Park (start from Columbus Circle) during the day, you can see the Met or the Museum of Natural History while you're there, then walk south on 7th Ave through Time Square and end in the village at night (maybe walk til you hit Bleecker and then make a left, going East). Talk to people on the street, something interesting always happens.

[KurtNYC]

17. A few ideas

Webster Hall, still pretty much the biggest club in Manhattan
http://www.webster-hall.com/

or for just music (blues, rock and cover bands, great sound system), B.B. King's
http://www.bbkingblues.com/

If you are coming during the weekend of October 9th be sure to join us at Strawberry Fields for the annual John Lennon birthday party -- live impromptu band and sing along all day until they kick us out at midnight or so.

For snacking and interesting art, design, adaptation of the space: The Chelsea Market http://www.chelseamarket.com/

[terrya]

20. The Gaiety! Wait, that's somewhere *I* would go!

I sure had a good time at the Gaiety when I was there. :-)

[pajjr]

22. the knitting factory

[liontamer]

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. kitten?

38. You simply MUST ride the "L" train at least once

It just seems fitting. :-)

I'd suggest a few hours walking and eating your way through chinatown, then over to Ground Zero, then take the Staten Island Ferry across to Staten Island and back (don't stay in Staten Island, though) then a quick subway ride up so you can wander and eat and shop your way through the Village and Chelsea and SOHO. They're all near each other,and it makes for a nice day.

And if you like fountain pens, Fountain Pen Hospital is near Ground Zero. Best pen store in the city.

[sniffa]

39. didn't even think of ground zero

damn, so much to do in so LittLe time.
