What can I do in the NYC?

Question

I'm from Dallas and I work for Spectracell Laboratories on behalf of Baylor Hospital, and I'm going to represent my company in New York and I will be there long enough to enjoy myself also...What is there to do?

Answer 1

stay away from all the tourist tramps!
like restaurants
souvenir shops

Answer 2

Go to Mcsorleys for a few beers, it is cheap and the oldest bar in NYC, 1870 or something crazy and has never been redone

take the Ferry to Stianin Island, it is like .50 and it is the same ride as Veiw as all of the big cash boat rides

Elliss Island, Statue of Liberty, the South Street Sea port, is alway nice

The Modern Museium, is one of the best in the world, so are the others ones

To dine get a Zagats guide, or try to get the New York Mag. where they rate the rest. the Michilen guide will work, but the Zagats is better,

The night life is really good you can go any where and find cool people to hang with, when I go in, I live on LI, after I eat I can always find a cool bar, and if you like dancing there is that too,

if there is anything that you want, it is NYC, just ask around

also if you like small movies, there are many places around town where you can do that

the great thing about the city, is if you look around someone is doing it better and cheaper, like for Breakfast, you can find 2 eggs on a roll with coffee for 1.99 if you look

Have fun!

Answer 3

A Broadway show might be fun to catch if you're into that. The New York Times always has huge ads about what's on--I recommend picking a Sunday NYT up at you newstand (I can get the paper here in the South, so they probably distribute all over the country).

I've always wanted to see the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's huge--you could spend a whole day or more there!

But really, just walking around is a lot of fun! Central Park has some cool statues and fountains and stuff in it, and there's always things happening. You shouldn't miss Central Park.

Answer 4

Wow, you know, this is actually a good question because there are so many things to do. First, when you get there, I suggest you buy a $7 all-day subway metro pass so you can get everywhere very easily. I've been to NYC approximately 5 times and have enjoyed every second of the honking of taxis. Of course, it really all does depend on your tastes and interests, but I can divulge to you my personal favorites:
take a picture of the Flatiron Building
wait in the incredibly long like to get to the top of the Empire State Building
GO TO TIMES SQUARE (both day AND night [which is the best!])
step in and out of Chinatown (not much to do except take pictures of open-air street vendors with crazy food)
take the metro to Grand Central Station and photograph the inside of the main building (it's huge and impressive, but watch out for the armed guards)
I personally liked the NYC Eatery for dinner ( www.eaterynyc.com )
I would imagine the Statue of Liberty would be great, but, unfortunately, I haven't gotten there yet (have to get tickets VERY early in the morning as they sell out by 9am-10am-ish)

that's all i can think of right now - you will probably spend the bulk of the time in Times Square as it's so enrapturing and nothing like anywhere else in the world (except for Tokyo, I beleive, just from pictures, lol). If you have any questions, you can e-mail me at [e-mail] or check out my photos of NYC in two different albums on my photosite: http://www.zorpia.com/cgi/member.cgi?username=Zaevodnik&type=album&start=all

Answer 7

Nothing. NY is totally dead this time of year. See if you can get a cab to Newark. Ah, Newark - now that is a happening place. You will have a ball in Newark.

Answer 8

TAKE YOUR PICK!!!!! NEW YORK HAS EVERYTHING, YOU CAN IMAGINE. it all depends on what you like to do and how much money you want to spend. go sightseeing first to get the hang of the city,and go from there.
