A friend is going to visit NYC the second week of October. She travels with another co-worker, woman, (both over 40 years old).
Does anyone have recommendations, apart from the obvious ones, for those dates?
Thanks!
- I'm looking forward to seeing this at some point. https://www.halldesl…CyBrainX

Going to visit NY in a few weeks. Last time visit was 10 years ago! Any (local) recommendations like: Bars, food, museum or any other stuff worth checking?
- If I was going to NY, there are two food joints I'd really want to check out:
• Ivan Ramen
• Lucali (pizza)Continuity - +1 for Ivanduckseason
- @Continuity thanks! :))milfhunter
- No prob! I will now live vicariously through you and your experiences at two places to which I've never been. :DContinuity

Yoooo! Looking for advice or tips.
My daughter and I are taking a trip to the East Coast. We're going to D.C. and NYC and will be in New York March 10th-12th it's my first time. I know it's not a very long time so I'm trying to do the best stuff I can on this trip.
Here is what we are interested in doing:
-Want to eat the most New York things possible, NY Bagels, NY Hot Dog, Pizza, Jewish Deli, etc..
-Street Photography a full day or half day plus camera shops
-Want to see something in the way of Hip-Hop culture, graffiti, record shops, etc.
-Nightime skyline view and photos
-For nightlife, a dope dive bar, or something with live indie bands, or house music club
-At least one good art or photography museum
-Chinatown? or Japan? or Korea town? lol
-Maybe have a beer or cocktail with one of you mofos?
We are staying at the Martinique Hotel on Broadway and 32nd st.
:-)
- BHP is all i got. Oh, and Katz's for "Harry met Sally" vibes, tho it's supposedly shite these days.hans_glib
- Sup with Katz's Deli?HijoDMaite
- When I went they told me to see battery park, I wanted to, but ran out of time. I did go see the village (east village) near NYC campus, that was dope. Also thecherub
- whole foods near union station, we walked to some hotel nearby and went to bar on the top floor and you can see some awsm skyline views...cherub
- I saw hester street near where mean streets was filmed, and also arthur street in the bronx. italian neighborhoods.cherub
- Heads-up: anyone who hasn’t been here since before the pandemic may give bad recommendations. Many places and even neighborhoods got lame since the WFH phenomennb
- ORLY? which onescherub
- ok cool cherub thanks! yeah, I hear that nb, same here in LA, bunch of places shut down after covd :-(HijoDMaite
- I was hoping there was a street like Melrose in L.A. for cool shoppingHijoDMaite
- There's a place like that in Brooklyn called greenpoint but now I fear it doesn't exist. awwww damcherub
- “Outer” hoods like greenpoint have developed a lot, actually. Williamsburg is like the cool downtown.nb
- You’ll find that midtown, Hell’s Kitchen, Murray hill have lost a lot of activity.nb
- If you're hotel is in Herald Square, you're around the block from the Empire State Building. It may sound cliche but those are the best views on Earth.CyBrainX
- Also, your hotel is in Korea Town. I think 32nd Street has the best restaurants.CyBrainX
- Your kid is a young adult? For night life try Astor place and walk east down St Marks then south down into lower east side if you don’t find a bar or restaurantnb
- But you will!!nb
- For camara shops, look into B and H Photo and/or Adorama.CyBrainX
- Live indie and house is easiest to find in Williamsburg and Bushwicknb
- Katz is still good but touristy as hell. But you’re also a tourist so whatevs. There are many delis and diners with great pastraminb
- Hot dogs are meh, but grab one from a cart. You’ll get the experience. Don’t overpay in a tourist area, they’re all the samenb
- B&H is so dope. Camera lover heaven.cherub
- awesome! thanks guys. yes, she is 22.HijoDMaite
- Great photos from Tudor City. 2nd Ave Deli if you want the Jewish deli experience and know Katz is overrated.monospaced
- Walk the high line on the west side and get killer pizza at the southern end. It’s also great orthography there and some playgrounds not farmonospaced
- Battery Park for family strolls. Eat some lamb over rice from a Halal Cart. Union square jazz during farmers market on Saturday morning.monospaced
- H&H bagels is the best. Stay AWAY from anything even near Penn Station or tourist places like Times Square. Not worth it. Ever.monospaced
- And just know you’re gonna walk. It’s part of the vibe. Make sure everyone’s ok board. Go to the Comedy Cellar? Forget how old the kids ar.monospaced
- Doing a rooftop bar is nice!
Went to this one at night: Spyglass Rooftop Barmilfhunter - The Hip Hop Museum:
610 Exterior Street
Bronx, NY 10451stoplying - Beastie boys square is right around the corner from Katz. ICP is good for a show, Chinatown nom wah dim sum. Joes shanghai soup dumplings. Good dive bars LESBH26
- The best museum is the Met. You could spend weeks there. Moma is good too.nb
- Fotografiska is a better photography museum than ICP, but it depends on what the feature show is.nb
- Awesome suggestions guys!! Thanks so much!HijoDMaite
- I think employees only is still on. If there’s such thing as a sophisticated dive bar, this place would be it.maikel
- I also love small’s - that’s the club that appears in Whiplash. But you gotta like jazz for it to be worth it.maikel
- Hip hop museum is shut down until 2025HijoDMaite
- I might head out to Queens Bridge projects and challenge someone to a rap battleHijoDMaite
- +1 for the high linemort_

is a local backery here in austria just opened a shop in 285 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10012,
he is selling 60$ one loaf of bread ... its a bit of an outrage here by folks that he does this... the price ...
what do fellow new yorkers here think, is the price nuts for this area or nuffin out of the xtra....
- No. $60 is not normal. I complain when I see $5 loaves of bread, but that is normal.CyBrainX
- But if you're in that area, go a few blocks north and get something awesome at Astor Wines.CyBrainX
- 5 is normal here too.. .i thought maybe it some luxury area with investment wankers etc so the price is that highneverscared
- What's the name of the place? Maybe I'll check it out next time I'm around there.CyBrainX
- (not that I'm buying anything there)CyBrainX

- looking at the pics it doesnt look financialy there...neverscared
- I tried to get some translations to English. What's funny is that many of those people commenting think the high price for bread is normal for NYC.CyBrainX
- the rich uncle from america ... he can afford it ...lolneverscared

If you like the $60 bread then you’re gonna love the $100 week old stale version with mold on it. It costs more because it takes more time to make it.
