[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

October 4-7th brehs.
i know nothin about nyc other then what Biggie, Nas, and Wu Tang talked about


what clubs yall recommend? (preferably a mix crowd)
what hotel to stay at?
sightseeing? im into the ghetto type shyt.. Queensbridge, South Bronx etc..
any other historical shyt i need to see.

is the city still full of villains and creeps?
is each block still like a maze? full of black rats trapped, is Rikers island still packed?

 

[yoyoyo1]

ghetto sightseeing, that will be a riot

 

[Poitier]

Clubs? Check out Meatpacking and Uptown clubs but honestly go to Downtown Bars and a lot Hotels have popping parties
Hotel? I can't help you with that but use Yelp or something and check hotels out with tons of reviews
sightseeing? Don't visit tourist attractions, fukk Time Sq. Hop on the subway and just get randomly lost and wander around for a bit, as long you have a cellphone map service. Other than that, Dykeman, Chinatown, Greenpoint, 5 points, Governor's Island, Soho/ West Village, LES/ Alphabet City, Bed Stuy

The MOMA is a REALLY good museum and I highly recommend you check it out.

Don't go to NYC and act like it's a shopping mall or a museum, all in amazement. We hate tourist who walk slow and have to look at every damn thing. Just go out on foot and get into random shyt.

meatpacking

Lower East Side

meatpacking

I hate Meatpacking but for a tourist?

Chelsea and Tribeca are really nice areas I don't really go to as well

If you're a Cac, Williamsburg/ Bushwick is the spot

Also, maybe check out the ferries around the area and Uber has boat rides now if you got $$$

Don't eat a food chains, always try out the local mom and pop food spots, as they usually are the best

walk up and down the westside at night, great view of the city and of jersey across the hudson
take the staten island ferry (free), for a beautiful view of manhattan, the brooklyn bridge, and brooklyn. it's looks so nice. especially at night, and you see the statue of liberty also.
and walk across the brooklyn bridge at night , great view of manhattan.
go to times square, just to go, touristy but whatever you're a tourist.
and check out central park, great views also

why do you want to go ghetto sight seeing though? lol

lower east side has so much clubs and bars and stuff, and it's live most of the time. you want a hip hop club place, check out bobs bar - it's a mixed crowd.

.

maybe ghetto was the wrong term... i meant the urban legendary spots like Rucker Park, QB, Brooklyn, South Bronx, Harlem, where they shot Coming to America etc.

Best view in the city is probobly "press lounge" rooftop bar with AMAZING views. "Verlaine" in LES has a dope happy hour special till 10pm. "The boil" will remind you of boiling crab in Cali , Smithfield is a great bar with great food in Chelsea

230 fifth - dope rooftop bar with a huge outdoor patio....I think it's the biggest in the city
Hotels depend on your budget....Waldorf Astoria was the hotel the king of Zamunda stayed at. It's old luxe, rich cacs, great location. Yotel is a cheaper, modern spot also in a great spot
Queensbridge projects is actually only a few stations away from midtown, but don't go over there at night
I recommend taking the train way uptown to Washington heights for Dominican culture and Fordham Rd in the Bronx for the Puerto Ricans. Not a good idea to wander around at night either.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I wouldn't recommend a "ghetto tour" unless you know someone from that area. You can't just walk into certain areas of the Bronx & Brooklyn without a care in the world.

As far as sightseeing goes, I would recommend Ground Zero, Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Yankee Stadium, MOMA, the Schomburg center in Harlem.

If you want to do some shopping, 5th Avenue between 42nd & 57th streets, SoHo & Times Square.

Subways will be your best friend getting around. Every line goes into Manhattan (except the G) and bascially run parallel to each other in midtown.

I'm not too sure about hotels, but hotels in Manhattan will be pricey. Try something in one of the outer boroughs that's close to the subway.

Washington Heights for Dominican chicks since the bay doesn't really have them, and twitter has seemingly discovered their existence.

 

[Poitier]

NYC has every flavor. Dominican girls are but one of the different types. Don't gas them and spend your time all Uptown.

 

[Xtraz2]

If you want cheap hotels, head to Flushing, Queens. It's an asian neighborhood in queens with the 7 train that takes you all the way to Times Square etc.
