So I'm in NYC for the next 6 days. Minus the typical tourist things (911 memorial, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Time Square etc) what are the must see/ must do things?

Hit up some solid bars and just rage all night long. Get some coke and keep the night alive hit up a brunch the next day and do some more coke and repeat. Seriously, some of the best times iv ever had in NYC were with my bros coking for like 2 days straight continously raging.

But if you want to do normal stuff I would just check out as many restaurants as possible. So many good food place all over the city of all sorts. As a foodie, I fricken love the city.

yeah check out the brooklin bowl. its a pretty cool venue that showcases local bands every night.

also there is nothing cooler then walking around times square at four in the morning piss drunk. its a totally different vibe then during the day.

there is also this sweet spy museum. i know it is a very touristy thing but its still worth checking out.

hanging out hopping subways was a weird yet fun way to pass time during the night

look up what concerts playing too. NYC has an awesome music scene with major headliners almost every night. also most of the local bands are really sick too.

It's pretty bad that i go to school in the city and cant even name a single solid thing. I guess you coulf go to a game at msg though. There are great burgers at this sports bar near the stadium but i can't remember the name. The logo has either a cowboy on a horse or a bull

Try Garrett's popcorn by Madison Sq garden. Go to Lombardis pizza at Spring and Mott in Little Italy. The museum of national history is pretty cool. The federal reserve bank your is cool as well

Check out The Stand at 3rd and 20th for a great place to see some stand-up comedy! Also, tons of other places for comedy. Try to avoid tourist traps, mainly the areas around Time Square and other popular destinations. Some of the best bars/dining in NYC are holes in wall type/hipster types places.

Hit up Katz's deli, also lombardis pizza. Check out the village there's a lot of really rad stores and people haha. Also if you're into it Columbia University has arguably the finest hydro in the east.

Thanks for the great suggestions guys. Tonight I'm going to Standup, pretty excited for that. Will probably also hit up

I tried to find something at brooklynn bowl or a sports game at msg but unfortunately I didn't plan ahead so tickets are all $300. Will probably still hit msg and the museums up though.

I have a few more days to fill up so please keep the suggestions coming.

Just go out at night and see the city and it's pretty tough to have a bad time. Then come shred at Mountain Creek.

Momofuku or milk bar or both if you can

David Chang in the man

Also big ups to the dude who mentioned the Meatball Shop. So stupid good.

Also scope out Dumpling Man. Best dumplings ever. Right be Momofuku too so you dont have to walk a bunch to scope out both.

When i go to NYC I just gorge super hard, suggest you do the same.

If you and some friends are looking for a good time try Rascals on 4th and Halter St. I used to go there when I lived in the city. Its not the most happening of crowds but i assure you it gets pretty wild after 1 plus you dont even have to worry everyone ive ever met there is pretty cool. Like this one guy, Gabe. Gabe is a real cool cat, ya know the cats pajamas and such. Back in 08 me and him were just sitting in the place when these two smoking hispanic girls walk in, obviously im interested. It turns out Gabe knows them and they actually invited us back to a party at their friends. So we get there and Ive gotta say this place was wild, girls, drinks, blow, everything you could have asked for, but Gabe told me the real fun was in the back room. So i get back there and its amazing. I find a room with everyone naked just covered in marinara sauce. Im freaking out but then on of the girls grabs me rips off my clothes and starts pouring a can of Prego on my junk. So i just accepted it. Next thing i know theres three girls eating meatballs out of my ass, as im railing this girl, and jamming a breadstick in another one. Crazy night. IM just saying anything can happen at Rascals, so check it out.

Best Chinese Food in NYC.

Shanghai Cafe. 100 Mott Street.

They have the best dim sum around, and are notorious for their soup dumplings. I go to this place every time I am in NYC.



There's this sick place we stumbled on last time I was in NYC for cocktails called the Pegu Club. It's in the Soho district. Expensive drinks but really worth it, they have a bunch of rare Cognac and their own ginger beer and shit. it's bomb. That's at 77 W Houston street. There's some baller clubs in the Soho district too.
