the only thing worthy visiting is the Golf course @ Bayonne
The Bing , Soprano's house in New jersey , Twilo ,
Listening to TT for advice on where to go in NYC is like asking a Lemur how to do Quantum Physics. He can tell you which windows taste best, thats about it
Ach, this ones nae raspberry.......
As it would be with me. I am a country boy....I have never been to NYC, have no desire to go there, and would not go there if you held a 357 magnum with hollow points to my head.
I am happy for those who like it there, just not my cup of tea. I would prefer Junction, Texas, or even the liberal conclave of Taos, NM for its beauty.
I hate being a tourist and being guided around by people who don't want to do touristy things.
"Statue of Liberty? Times Square? Central Park? Nah, you don't wanna see any of those old boring places. I'm gonna take you to a really good barbecue place that only the locals know about! You won't even know you're in New York, you'll think you're in Texas!"
I've been to many different places, and wherever I go I specifically make a point to do the touristy things, because I am a tourist. Picture in front of the Statue of Liberty, picture in front of the Las Vegas sign, picture holding a malt liquor in the middle of Compton -- it's all the same: I do touristy things because that's what I'm there to do. Sure, whenever I have time, I explore the local culture that doesn't get as much exposure as it should, but I believe in first things first. When I took my family to NYC for the first time earlier this year, the very first thing we did was visit the Statue of Liberty, and the second thing we did was visit Times Square, where we promptly go my daughter her very first "I (heart) NY" shirt. It warmed my heart to see her getting hers much the way I got my first one fifteen years ago. Someday soon I hope to get her her first "I Climbed the Great Wall of China" shirt, just as I did ten years ago. (Hey, it ain't bragging if you done it.)
Ali Baba on 34th Street. Between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. Great food.
be sure to take lots of pics of important landmarks and bridges
make sure any passing cop sees you also
but for reals, take pics of statue of liberty, ground zero, wall street bull, city hall, rockefeller, times square, chinatown, little italy, madison sq garden, central park, yankee stadium
look for Papaya King....
Go to Mars 2112 and let me know how it was! Been to NYC a few times, but never made it there. Looks like a hybrid of Total Recall meets Star Wars. lol
I left my Oakley Gascan on Trump Tower mezzanine Men's Toilet. If you can find it, its yours.
Take a cab to Queens and steal Frank's booze. Post pics.
