I'm in NY for a few days visiting my brother and I'm wondering if there are any non-touristy things anyone can recommend. I'm going to be wandering around Little Italy and China Town today. Hopefully I'll run into something interesting. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for 914s. But I don't have a whole lot of hope for seeing anything like that.
If I were in New York City.. I would head south as fast as I could go........
Carnagie Deli on 7th in the 50s. Famous, but real Noo Yawkers eat there, too. You'll wonder why there's no such place in California (I do).
You could let us know what the monthly rental a space in a parking garage is these days. When I first went there, a spot cost as much as my whole apartment w/ garage in the Midwest.

to much to list.
Carnegie Deli is OK
Try Katz Deli on Houston street, its just a short walk from Little Italy/Chinatown
Also the museums. even though they may by touristy, they are well worth it.
There is a museum of holography, it used to be on White St, I think its moved
Kiehls Pharmacy on 3rd ave, has a collection of racecars/stuntplanes in the back (the owner raced Maseratis) they also make all natural cosmetics etc.
Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island.. is worth the effort. get your tickets a day or so ahead, then get there early and you only have to wait on the line for the ferry.
In Queens the american museum of the moving image is cool
Grand central Station, the architecture is amazing!!
See Blue man group!!
The subways are your friend!
and that didnt even scratch the surface
CBGB's
Not Carnegie Deli, New Yorkers do not eat there! Try 2d Avenue Deli instead. Oh, and Ratners (a dairy deli).
Go rent a car and bring a blintz to Racer Chris.
Ratners closed a few years ago

I don't know how to take this. What is it about this area that offends you so? Is it the people? |
1.) Take a subway anywhere after 11 PM and try to stay alive.
2.) Drive thru Harlem after 10 PM
3.) Go to the Port Authority at 5 PM and Yell "Incoming"
4.) Check into the Windsor Hotel and order a small room near the elevator
5.) Go to Western Union on Broadway, collect $2000 cash, and try to make it back to the double parked, running cab before you get knocked in the head
6.) Tour the Bowery
7.) Try to cross the street alone without getting taken out by a cab
8.) Say "Hi" to everyone while walking and see how many times you're told to FO.
This is going to quickly turn into a political thread. Can we make it a red state/blue state thing too, while we're at it?
Let me know when you find that tugging at the crotch smiley, California-boy ("THIS New Yorker"? Huh? CT is closer than CA!). If you want to make it appropriate for CT, dress it in pinks and greens.
I am off for lunch. I have to find me a deli...
You might want to stroll up 2nd ave. (above 48th street) after work, there are a bunch of bars. Eat, play pool and throw some darts.
It is all good fun!

They even refer to it as "The City". |
Allright......It's East vs West instead of North vs South.....let's get rollin'

[QUOTE=ClayPerrine,Feb 3 2005, 11:59 AM] I would KEEP For what I paid for a closet sized hotel room (and I had to go down the hall to use the toilet) I could get a luxury suite in Dallas. |

I was there in '89 when all the pron shops were still open around Time Square.
Oh the good 'ol days....haven't been back since.
Paul
Times Square was an interesting place before they turned it into Disneyland.
Oh, and there is nothing to do in NYC. Go home.
My next trip to The City will be to visit the http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/
