Okay New Yorkers, I have a question for you! I'm trying to plan my FIRST trip to New York later this year. What are some MUST see's (that I don't already know about)? Any advise on how to save money? Where is the BEST food at? Where can I get some original wear?

Thanks!

IMO, NYC isn't as much of a "must see" kind of place as it is a "must experience" kind of place - the must experience being the various neighborhoods and what they have to offer (East Village, West Village, Union Square, SoHo, Flatiron, Meat Packing District, Gramercy, Tribecca, Midtown, Upper East Side, Lower East Side and Upper West Side). Some of the best restaurants in the world are here; Danielle, Per Se, Gramercy Tavern, Le Bernadin, Nobu, Morimoto, Craft... the list goes on. Also, the nightlife is great depending on what you're into. You can do the "models and bottles" scene, right now some good spots for that are Greenhouse on Tuesdays, The Box on Saturdays, The Garden at Ono (downstairs in the Gansevoort Hotel) on Saturdays and High Bar after 5PM on the weekdays. For a more scenesterish experience you can hang out in the East Village and Lower East Side. Some great restaurants in the East Village are Yuca Bar (Latin / Cubin), Franks (Italian), Momofuku (noodles), Tasho (yakitori), and Pauls (burgers).

I'm gonna stop here because I realize I could write pages of recommendations, but if you can narrow down what types of places you're into maybe I can be a little more helpful, lol.

Some restaurants I like are Blossom and Candle Cafe, both vegan. They have vegan chocolate cake. I don't live in nyc, but I go there whenever possible. I'm not much of a sightseer, but I just like to be there. I walk around, shop, see shows....there is something in the air of nyc that I don't experience elsewhere. (I live in a small town in upstate NY and I miss city life at times)

I really fucking hate small town life. My mom's always busy, there's nothing in walking distance, I don't drive, and public transportation's a fucking joke. Therefore I can't do shit because Cicero is in the middle of fucking NOWHERE! I can't wait to move to NYC where most of the people who posted here appear to be.

Thank you so much! I will add some of these places to the list.
I'm probably not going to do much of the "night life" while there, but I would like to know what is the best Irish bar there? And does 5 points still exist?

 

08/10/09 9:45 PM

5 points is an area, so yes, it still exists grinning smiley

As far as an Irish bar, try in that area. That was a major Irish area way back hen, if I recall my history properly.

I currently live in Inwood, a dominican-dominated neighoborhood at the northern-most part of Manhattan, right next to the Bronx. I really wanted to live somewhere closer to Times Square but if you want to live in the Central Park area and downward without going into Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island, you have to pretty much be a millionare.

Hey New Yorkers! I have co-worker looking to find a decent and hopefully not outrageously expensive hotel to stay at right in NYC during Christmas week--anyone got any good suggestions I can pass on? I've only stayed at the Sheraton a few years ago, and am not that familiar with the city, so I'm hoping some of you can help me out.

Thanks!

answering a thread somewhere with the question below...
Where did all the New York ninnies go?

Here's an answer.. sleeping and eating dirt. tongue sticking out smiley

jk, no one knows, no one would care anyway..

The name is Richard, a 'late' nin fan since 2007, missed my only opportunity to watch the last performances at Terminal 5 and Webster Hall (at least RITCNIN allows me to look through archived performances). I reside somewhere in Queens, in the hopes of finding a warm place..

Just saying hello from Upstate NY. Hopefully someday NIN comes back to The Civic Center in Glens Falls. Or How to Destroy Angels. Either would be fine. smiling smiley

My road test is tomorrow! If I pass, the chances are greater that I'll run into you guys on the road than on these forums,lol.
