Will be heading up to NYC this weekend and wondering if there are any places we should hit up? (like paintball, go carting) anything like that should be fun?

Sucks that it's cold - if it was summertime and you were meeting people, most can get on the roofs of their apartment buildings and enjoy the sunshine. I'm not sure of winter things to do (it might be cold enough to skate at Rockefeller Square, I guess), but these are some of my notes having been there a few times (usually in warmer weather):

Avoid Times Square unless you want to walk in the parade of all the other tourist yuppies.
Check out the High Line Park on the West Side - cool concept, good views, neat area.
Battery Park is fun, grab an outdoor beer there.
Central Park is enormous and full of things to do.
If you've never been, the American Museum of Natural History is a must.

You going to NYC to go car, paintball, etc? Cmon man. Soo many better things to do. Arguably the best food city in the world if your really into food countless amazing restaurants. The nightlife is amazing 7 days a week. I would do your research on some really cool places off the grid the mid town bars aren't that fun. Be prepared to spend A LOT of money. As someone who lives / works here its not cheap at all. The more money you spend the more fun you can have.

This. Take in some culture (the opposite of paintball and go-karting). Go to a Broadway show. Treat yourself to a nice restaurant. Go shopping on 5th Avenue. Visit Wall Street.

Yup!


Also, The Stand in Gramercy is an amazing, intimate place to see comedy. Last time I went Dave Attell dropped in. Louie is known to do the same. Plus, the line up will be stacked. Same for The Cellar (comedy club pictured in the show Louie) and The Underground (around the block from the cellar with same owners).

Avoid chain places at all cost. It is New York fucking City. If you get a sub at subway you're a jump. There are so many amazing places to get subs, pizza, Chinese food, tacos.. You name it, NYC has is the best anywhere. Except maybe Mexican food.
