are there any cool cinemas, a bit different than your usual one?


IFC Center, Landmark Sunshine, and Angelika are all good. Film Forum shows good stuff, but it's not the best theatre.

Go to the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop for good ice cream (you read that right).

Is it me or are the forums acting weird?

I play baseball myself so attending atleast one game was at the top of my to do list. Already got my tickets through Stubhub, going to see the Yankees take on the Royals with my friends. They're not into baseball like me so I'll be going to the Mets solo. Couldn't believe ticketprices, specially for the Yankees. Back in '97 when I went to the west coast tickets were a whole lot cheaper.. :)

Going in two weeks bump.

Going all city, hit me up with restaurants, deli's and rooftop bars that won't require me to sell a kidney! Think I have most things covered but still open for suggestions of all kinds..

I'll have to remember this thread if/when I go to the Big Apple! It's a world away from Hawaii, but it's definitely on my bucket list!

Go to Tuff City Tattoos either in the Bronx (they have a replica train that people paint)
http://www.tuffcitysupply.com/
or Lower east side

I went to NY last year, one of the best cities in the world.Besides all the things you've already said I'd recommend checking the Nintendo store if you're into video games, even if you're not wanting to buy anything they have a few bits in there worth looking at. Also despite having to pay like ten dollars or whatever I'd say check the Rockefeller tower, one of the best views of the city. Hit up some of the delis in Soho too.
