80 buck over ow many days? Just eat from food carts and pizza places and avoid expensive bars. 1/4/2011 11:26:22 PM |

there is an entire thread in the lounge about NYC
might be helpful...if you are going to be in NYC
otherwise, it would be helpful to give us the area of the state you will be in

What does this mean? The entire city is "close to Manhattan." Where are you going -- like what neighborhood/area -- and we can make suggestions.1/4/2011 11:29:25 PM |

what does the $80 pass offer you?
a 1 week unlimited metrocard is MUCH cheaper thank that and it goes EVERYWHERE
make sure to get some pizza at Grimaldi's under the Brooklyn Bridge (it is nice to walk across from Manhattan)
As far as clothing goes:
LAYER
it will be warm in restaurants and bars but colder than bejeezus outside so wear a hat, mittens, scarf, sweater, overcoat kind of deal 1/4/2011 11:31:13 PM |

Has anyone ever taken a guided tour of NYC? It never really even crossed my mind that city tours could be fun until I took a carriage tour in Charleston, SC. Do I want to be one of the people on the two tiered buses?
*I like a good history tour

^^Top of the Rock is better than the Empire State Building, but I'm not sure if its still open. Also a lot of people don't like the MOMA. I sure didn't. Definitely the Met though, and the Natural History museum (their dinosaur hall is the best).
Go to McSorley's Ale house. It's the oldest bar in the city. For restaurants get a Zagat guide and go off that. There's so many choices it's pointless to start listing them. Though I will say if you like Indian food check out the Indian restaurants on 4th and 5th Street and 1st Ave. Awesome food on the cheap. 1/4/2011 11:50:57 PM |

If by some dreadful turn of events you find yourself in Times Square you MUST do the following things:
Check out the Max Neuhaus audio installation on the pedestrian island that runs between 45th and 46th Street where Broadway and 7th Avenue intersect :: http://www.timessquare.com/nyc-info/times-square-history/80?task=view" target="_blank">http://whttp://www.timessquare.com/nyc-info/times-square-history/80?task=view
Cheap dinner - $6 burger and a beer during happy hour (4-7) at the Bull Moose Saloon. The regulars are a mix between union laborers and Broadway actors. http://www.yelp.com/biz/bull-moose-saloon-new-york
Then have a drink or two at Jimmy's Corner (140 W. 44th St). It is a boxing bar and definitely not touristy.
After completing this ritual you will be so dulled on cheese burger and booze that you will find yourself immune to the epileptic strobing of capitalism and the surging throngs of people that you will be able to walk along quite comfortably and see the sights. 1/5/2011 12:29:02 AM |

MORE ADVICE: You probably have gobs of money and are hoping to throw it around recklessly while you're in NYC. Later you'll curse how damned expensive the city is and resent it a little. That's all perfectly natural. In case you are without lucre then you might benefit from this.
Make sure to sign up for Nonsense NYC so you can see what kind of crazy shit is going on around the city. It will be a big listing of parties and shows and such sent out every Friday. Covers, if there are any, won't cost much more than $5 or $10.
There's also FreeNYC. http://www.freenyc.net/ -- whoops no it died. And yet it lives on as: http://livingfreenyc.com/ -- this is a place to find free entertainment, wine tastings, food and drink at happy hour, drink promos at bars, etc.
** Also check out this book. It is pretty damn good and the most recent edition was published Nov 30 2010 so it is pretty damn recent.

Seriously though, John's Pizza (no slices!) on 46th street between Broadway and 8th Ave. Lombardi's in Little Italy is good too (don't recall the address though, corner of ___ and Elizabeth I think). And the best place I had pizza by the slice is Rays near Cooper Union (I don't remember which Rays).
My favorite all time pizza place in NYC was "The Pizzeria" next to Off the Wagon on MacDougal Street. Went out of business in 2009 though, not sure why.

if you've got the paper you should have a steak at Peter Luger's

it is the best steak I've ever eaten in my life and probably will ever eat unless I go back there

note that the menu is very simple and that there are not prices listed next to anything steak for two is $85 and everything is a la carte 1/7/2011 3:31:12 PM |
