Going to NYC next week (enter NYC brehs)

[MikelArteta]

Just going for a weekend. Mainly want to take photos and just chill.

Last time I went to NYC was 2002 , so yeah it's been a while.

Should I rent a car? Should I do a shuttle from LaGuardia to my hotel? (Staying in financial district)

What are some cool restaurants?

What areas should I avoid?

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

there are ferries going from the rockaways to brooklyn and then to wall st. now.
it takes just over an hour i think.
you can chill at the beach and go to manhattan in the same day with ease and it only cost $2.75.

You don't need a car in nyc, public transportation is top notch and will take you anywhere you wanna go.

Theres no areas I would say you need to avoid, there really arent any really bad areas in NYC right now. Crime has been down, and most of the bad areas in the past have been gentrified.

Restaurants, you can just use yelp. Its pretty good. Tells you the pricey restaurants and reasonable ones. Any type of food you want also.

Don't do a shuttle. Just uber or have a Chinese car ready to pick you up for $20.

No point in renting a car. Subway for short distances or uber/china cars for long distances. The trip up the west side highway on a warm summer night cannot be beat.

I doubt you'll find yourself in a sketch area on purpose. Avoid time square. Avoid Mcdougal street and other areas around NYU. Take a trip up to Harlem during the day and just walk around and enjoy the sights, women, music, etc.

For food, I'd go to the LES: orchard, Allen, ludlow, rivington filled with good but affordable spots. There is a nice intimate Jamaican spot on Orchard. The crowds can be obnoxious in the LES on weekends though. This will be convenient location wise though since you'll be in the financial district which is a ghost town at night. What type of food you like?

Bring some money to shop. Also hit up the MoMA and Whitney. There are always free events in NYC that would cost anywhere else so look into that as well.

July 4 weekend. Stay out of the rivers on either side of manahttan.

You gave to little Info on what you are trying to do and food/vibe you like.

Mets/yanks play mostly like.
Comedy cellar be poppin usually and village underground.
Avoid time square/herald square. It's madness and you will be g'd becuase of tourist prices in that area.

Cliff/vacca lounge for the my Latin mamis.

I just gave you what I'm doing next weekend, shyt.

I heard East NY has amazing outdoor attractions. I think there is a building turned into a museum called the pink houses. I know what you are thinking, no; everything isn't all pink. Actually I think you get in free if you wear blue.

You should take the train, your best camera, and some spending cash to sight see and people watch.
