Anything we should do?Follow

Flea and I are in New York right now, leaving tomorrow around 2pmish.

Last trip we took here I saw just about all the obligatory sites like Statue of Liberty, the Towers site, etc. This trip we planned ahead and we went to the top of the Empire state building. Any other suggestions? (Besides GFY's, of course... We've got that one covered)

I hear Washington Heights in Queens is beautiful at midnight.

But seriously, have you taken in a broadway show? How about shopping in midtown or even in SOHO?

We were going to see Phantom but it isn't playing on Sunday. Lion King was sold out, and everything else playing seemed kind of "meh" to us so we're going to plan ahead next time to catch a show, probably watch one back home in DC too. We almost went to watch The Producers, but that was limited to "semi-blocked view" seating.

Monty Python's "Spamalot" was sold out too.

You could always try to get tickets to see the Blue Man Group at their original theater in the Village.

Pffft.

Okay, here's another one then - The restaurants and bars at the new Time Warner building are supposed to be really hip, but pretty pricey.

Oh yea, another tip about being in NYC, if you get lost and need directions, don't ask people on the street - go into a store and ask.

Wasn't there a Seinfeld bus tour being giving by the man Kramer was based on there?

You could do that

Otherwise you could always just go around and kick the sleeping/passed out bums...that's a good way to spend an evening. Just remember to point and laugh while kicking them, it's amazing how that adds to it.

Swing by Rockefeller Center and check out the ice skating rink. I wonder if they still have the Christmas tree up?

Have you seen a genuine Times Square bum yet? The ones with the: "Who am I ******** I just need a beer/hooker/bag of pot." signs are my fav. Have fun in the NYC. The most happenest place on earth.

You could take the Sex and the City tour! They take you to the store where Charlotte bought her.. um.. "toy".
And you have to eat at Serendipity, then tell me how it was.
I <3 NY.

I always wanted to check out the Guggenheim museum and the Bronx Zoo. Those would be cool if you haven't hit them already.

If your near lower Manhattan still, I went and checked out the old Five Points location. It's about a 15 walk from the Trade Center Site, at Columbus Park. Nothing much to see there however, bunch of Chinese guys playing checkers and basketball.
But I found it cool to think of all the nut-housery that went on there.

(we also bought some baby turtles from one of the hundred of Chinese vendors around there.. so cute ^^)

The Museum of Natural History is nice, but goes over a little better when you're twelve.

Try the Metropolitan Museum of Art instead. (NOT the Museum of Modern Art... .huge difference).

Also, eat lunch at DaNico on Mulberry St in Little Italy. Start with the Pizza Margarita (named after an Italian Queen, not the drink), and then the Three Musketeers. Its not pricey (not for NY anyway, not sure what you're used to), and the food is fantastic.

I saw this in Chicago before it went to Broadway, and it's basically Holy Grail on stage. It was fun to see Tim Curry and the guy from Fraiser, but I'm not one for theater, so I'd rather just watch the movie.

I know skeet was gay. jk, ive known every since he paid varus to buttfuck him

You should jump off the side of a building, it wont hurt

My 4 year old nephew has better grammar than you. I know you'll say it's lame to attack your spelling/grammar... And most times it is.. Yours is just really that awful.

I didn't even see what you wrote, just saw that you were the last poster on my thread and knew your stupid-*** was going to post the same old boring, lame-*** attempt at humor sh[b][/b]it you always do. If there is a post by you it's going to talk about being gay and/or taking it up the ***. Then it will have some stupid act you'd like somebody to do like jumping off the side of the building.

You are such a self-hating closet homosexual it's almost at the point of not being funny. I would imagine a post made by the "***** eye for the straight guy" people would have less gay-sexual connotations than a post made by you.

I have a question for you; I have this pair of pants that are dark navy blue, they almost look black. Should I wear black socks or find a pair of socks similar in color?

It's sad that you're gay and you have no style. Explains why you post here, though. You probably don't get laid much.



As for the rest of you (those of you not humping my e-leg, trying to send me PM's about your dubious heterosexuality,) thanks for the suggestions. This trip was mostly for a change of scene, since I've been here quite a bit and it is unmentionably cold out. Outside of the Empire State, it's been a nice, relaxed visit with friends, shopping in Midtown and trying to find Skeet the perfect chicken sandwich. I'm considering a morning run to Brooklyn tommorrow, but I'll probably just sleep in and roll out for a bagel before I head to Penn station.

Museum of Natural History is pretty good.

Eh, Fao Schwarz is pretty good.

Most of the time when I'm bored I check out one of those Borders stores with the books and the good coffee.

Have fun skeet and flea.
