Going to NYC - what to do

[Oyeve]

Dont come to Wall Street. I will beat you up! We have way too many tourists on Wall ST. I mean really, what the hell is the draw? Its only 2 boring-assed blocks! I can barely walk out of my building without bumping into 50 cameras! I swear, I am gonna start snatching cameras real soon!

your wife kinda sounds like a crappy friend.

we didn't overcharge them or anything like that. They gave us about an extra 20-30 bucks each over the cost after was told about the price.

Had some Pizza from a spot maybe 2-3 blocks from the NYSE. Down a flight of stairs in a basemen on a side street.

Know the spots name - damn tasty pizza~!

Are you a chick? Cuz you can come do me?
Even if you aren't a chick, we can still give it a shot. :sneaky:

You're my hero.

I think its a subway now. Not the train subway, the fake sandwich subway.

definitely hit chinatown, bring a lady friend with you, buy some knocked-off LV/gucci purses, rolex watches sell them when you get back home (wherever that is) for a boat load of profit. Offer them about 1/3 of the price they ask for those items. I made around 500 bucks last summer from that. My wife's friends couldn't afford the real things so they all asked her to bring them back and paid us "gas" money. Those items look totally legit to un-trained eye. Will go up there again in about a week.

hell no. my friend was up there recently, was about to buy one....and right behind the store was a NYPD van....F that

Didn't somebody start a thread a few months ago asking if there were any good pizza places in NYC?

Yeah, I think Lombardis was highly recommended. I like their pizza but not for 35 buck a pie.

NYC is so damn huge that unless you make a special trip to a place - you can find pretty good pizza in most neighborhoods.

You really need a Best Pizza by neighborhood/subway stop directory!~

I remember taking train 7 from roosevelt/jackson heights. I took the Q33 to jackson heights, transferred over to the 7, which went down, and i think i changed to the N i believe.

 

[compguy786]

Also, are the gyro chicken platters everywhere now ? or is it still the same place ?

Thanks

Yeah i think everything you guys have said is pretty much what i am going to do. Does the Q33 still go from LGA to jackson heights ? I google mapped it and it keeps on popping up the M60 from LGA on to the N.

Rockefeller center is def a addition. Trying to hit up MSG and NBA Store as well.

on the MTA website, i couldn't find a one day pass anymore. I remember i got one for about $7 last time, I think ill need 2.15 to get on the bus from LGA anyways.

M60 to the N - take the N into Manhattan, don't take the M60 because it goes via the Triboro and puts you into Harlem. It takes longer to go south if you do that as opposed to if you take the N straight into midtown.

53rd and 6th by the Hilton after 8PM. There is NO substitute.

Katz Deli for the pastrami. Momofuku Milk Bar for the pork buns.

I hear pissing in public is a must-do there...

Not hiding behind a dumpster pissing... whipping it out and laying a stream on a mail box pissing.

:sneaky:

Katz Deli for the pastrami. Momofuku Milk Bar for the pork buns.

Or Momofuku noodle bar for the Momofuku Ramen. So delicious.. I just ordered their cookbook on amazon last night as a matter of fact.

Also, I had a pretty great time, and meal at Eataly. Specifically the Beer garden on the roof.

Not worth the money, you get very little for about $15. They do cut it in front of you though and the slices are thicker.

Go to Carnegie and get the super pastrami and the cheesecake.

Both of these places are cash only.

It's on the same side of the street as the Hilton after 8pm and diagonally across the street before 8. The cart doesn't move, they just bring put a new cart.

If I want to eat lunch at this cart, where do I go?

53rd and 6th MoMA side.
The Hilton side is actually really good too ( seasoned rice and they don't ) cut/ground up the meat like the MoMA side does.

So lunch at this intersection is a good idea no matter whose cart?
