I don't want to do TOURIST things. I want to go somewhere cool like the Knitting Factory or a super cool bar that plays Punk Rock music or a club w/ many rooms/atmospheres w/ LOUD booming Electric SOUNDS. Something in the village would be cool, but not a gay bar. I want to stay at a hotel in NYC for the weekend and go to bars, clubs, lounges, maybe a museum and some Central Park events if there is something cool going on. Anyone have any good ideas. New Yorkers, please help. I know you locals know of lots of good things to do. I'm not a tourist. I have an old TIME OUT NYC, but it's not helping. I live just across the water, but I want this trip to be special since it's my BF's birthday. Also any decent and affordable ($160 or less) hotel rooms would be appreciated even if it's in Brooklyn.

well to be honest you picked a bad weekend to come to NYC, not a lot of cool events happening...i know because i'll be here too (i'll be in the village cocktails, dinner, and then to the comedy cellar)and i've done some research. your best bet for live music would be down in the east village or soho. lots of bars with live music.
if you want contact me and i'll give you my access code to TONY.(time out ny) so you can check it out on line ur self.
when it comes to hotels you get what you pay for.
i'll be staying downtown for $190 a nite.
you can get a cheeper rate if you shop around
try www.hotels.com you can get good rates and the discriptions are accurate.
good luck

You really should go see Stomp. It's awesome and so much fun. Besides that, if you want to have a good time at local bars, just stop at one and go in!!!! NYC people are really nice and cool (no matter what anyone says, I've never had a hard time). But most of all just enjoy yourself.
Try this site:

or just do a search for NYC and see what come up. Lots of ideas all over the internet.

Well, that depends... where I live NYC stands for Nawiliwili Yacht Club... which would mean you should probably going sailing about the island of Kauai. Check out the Napali Coast... sipping cocktails and taking pictures... but you would have to where sunscreen
I wish I could give you advice on the NYC you are probably talking about...I bet there are way more fun things to do there than here...

You should pay tribute to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 by going to their memorial. Then you should visit any jazz club thats there. Eat dinner and enjoy the jazz.
