NYC brahs, need your help! Going to NYC for the first time (measly reps)

[KDbeepbeep]

That's the exact place I just hated on in my last post. I had it completely sober and as my dinner before going to MSG for a game, though. I'm sure it's a lot better when you're hammered and looking to eat before the night is over.

that **** sucks during normal hours
i'm telling you, you gotta go at like 1am-3am

[carlos71786]

-Max Brenner's in Union Square
-if you're into EDM, Netsky's playing at Webster Hall friday night
-Washington Square Park at night
-St. Marks place for sum jap food and shotty piercing/tattoo places
-Walk the Highline and get Artichoke Basille's pizza. Meat Packing district good for food and sites during the day, lounges at night [personally not a fan of any of the lounges (Kiss&Fly, Tenjune, 1OAK, Ajna, etc etc they're all the same) ]

highline looks pretty awesome. seen it on the travel channel a few years back. don't really wanna hit any lounges, wanna stick to bars

Came in to post this.

53rd Halal Chicken and Rice. Go at late night 9-2AM.

Get chicken over rice or chicken/pork over rice with white sauce, bbq sauce and hot sauce.

shiit looks delish. what exactly is the white sauce?

everything tastes 10x better when you're yucky

oh and Museum of Sex on 28th and 5th ave.
just go look at the first floor(gift shop), don't bother buying tickets for the actual museum

then Shake Shack is right there, 5 blocks away in Madison Square Park

[carlos71786]

I'd consider it. I did it when I was leaving and it wasn't terrible -- and I was walking right through Times Square to the station. Save you the ridiculous cost of a cab from JFK, not to mention you'll be stuck in traffic. Took like an hour and a half because we got caught in traffic at like 3 pm. Awful.

damn, we're scheduled to land around that time, and on a sunday. maybe i will just take the train.

i'm gonna try to rep everyone over the next few days

Yeah, the traffic was a joke and even worse: you'll be stuck in a cab staring at the meter raping your wallet. If you do, you'll have this glorious view on the way in more than likely: http://goo.gl/maps/eFDpr So awesome for your first time. Just in complete awe when you come up over 495.

just mapped it, 1hr 45min from JFK to my hotel but i guess the cost is what matters. what the phuck is the air train?

First you'll take the airport train (forget what it's called) from your terminal to the subway station. Very close walk.


Then take A train, it's the subway. Howard Beach station is where you want to get on.

http://goo.gl/maps/J57ky This should be it. It's the 1 hour and 11 min option (http://d.pr/i/VuM3). Idk where your hotel is, so I was just vague about the destination (NY, NY)

Bronx Zoo is deff better. But Bronx is a very shady area, I would go there in the sunlight and come back before the sunset lolz. And how far up on the UES are you staying cuz that place is shaddy too.

Pepper thy angus cuz and stay safe pls.

[Butterdatass]

I just came back from manhattan n i passed through here and decided to take a pic to show you the halal stand on 53rd st and 6av. The food is delicious but the lines get kind of long. Its worth the wait though and the lines do move pretty fast

There is a Pio Pio in the Upper East Side. I think around 91th and 1st. Trust me on this one.

[Ralph Wiggum]

You want to go to a comedy club, cool. Dont go to one in times square...google ones anywhere else in manhattan or brooklyn but. Same for a restaurant.

this.. book a reservation a week in advance to a comedy cellar show. (they have a 2 menu item minimum per person)..

you might get lucky and jerry seinfeld, chris rock, louis ck, aziz ansari, etc. will show up.. srs..

[Ralph Wiggum]

fuark, i made a mistake, i'm staying on the west side. on broadway & 103rd

even better.. go to the Pio Pio in the upper west side (94th and Amsterdam.. close to you)! It's got an expanded menu.. FUARKK best place ever..

Also make sure to hit up Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem.. It's about 6 blocks north of Columbia University.. HNNNG

Don't go to Chinatown and eat. Dude you live in LA, we have the San Gabriel Valley, no one is fuking with the SGV when it comes down to Chinese food in the USA. You know what Chinatown is? Don't bother with that other suggestion of Joe's Shanghai for dumplings, when you have Din Tai Fung in Arcadia. Chinatown is a bunch of old people and young families who live in ****ty apartments with the whole floor sharing a restroom and a kitchen. If you really want a wild experience take the 7 Train to Flushing Queens, they have food carts and underground food stalls/malls. Don't even bother with anything Mexican unless it is in Corona/Jackson Heights Queens and some big park in Red Hook Brooklyn. What does NYC do better than LA?

The obvious classics are a must: hot dogs(Gray's, Papaya King), deli (Katz, 2nd Avenue), bagels (H&H), pizza(from the classic marghertia to more high end).

Now I consider LA the burger capital but if you are in NYC you should try Shake Shack for casual and Minetta Tavern's Black Label Burger for high end (often said one of the best in the whole country).

Brooklyn has alot of great food. Think Portland, or Silverlake in our case. If you are doing a Yelp search of food I would include Brooklyn in it.

You MUST go to the American Museum of Natural History! MUST. GOAT. Also their is a Shake Shack nearby!

this makes a lot of sense actually. my gf is picky as phuck about food anyway. and definitely staying away from anything mexican, i eat that shiit at home everyday.

is it really that good? i'm already going to the MET, maybe i'll check this out too.

[jay197]
