New York baby!!!

[Taekwondo Guy]

Me and two friends are planning to go to New York in March 2007

We are planning to stay for 5 days, bars, site seeing, bars and maybe a few bars



Looking at return air fare, hotels and the other formalities...

After a good 8 hours on the plane we'll need some good places to go to, any ideas?!

Typical lads holiday as we are running dry on a few stories to tell the kids in the future!

TKD GUY might I suggest the Paladium, if it is still in existance, or the Limelite. Both of them were marvelous places even before MTV found them. Be prepared to stay out all night. I remember looking at my watch and it was 4:30 in the am! I was used to last call being at 1:30 and out the door by 2:00! Of course I was much younger back then.

depending on how much you wanna spend I d recommend staying somewhere around midtown. Manhattan is definetely a place to see, times square, central park...Tell me how much you wanna spend on a room in dollar amount and I ll tell you where to go.

[Taekwondo Guy]

we will be looking to be staying in manhattan

$1000 for the hotel for 3 guys (to cover 5 nights, so $200 a night)

there you go bud. what you think about the hatton-collazo fight by the way?pretty close I d say.

[Taekwondo Guy]

Sheraton Manhattan Hotel looks good, not bad for a 3 star...

i want to keep this topic on track so i wont answer the hatton fight here

[Taekwondo Guy]

hotels are cheap over there! looking at some of the 4 stars they are only $180 a night

They have a pool and a gym too... might be a bit tempting to sway away from drinking to have a workout

Cool bro! What made you choose NY,NY? I have never been there, but my GF has and she loved it. If you want the best pizza in town try John's of Bleeker St. If you want awesome Thai food check out: www. t h i n k n o o d l e s. c o m they deliver anywhere in NY. Virgil's BBQ is right off of Time Square and it is the closest thing you will get to southern barbeque in NY.

NY is cool, you are going to like it. I have not been there since 99. But when the wife and I were there it was during Thanksgiving for the Macy's Day Parade that was cool. Lots to do, The only thing that I thought was strange was that there were more poeple underground in the subway systems than above ground. Good thing you are planning you're trip with lot's of time.

[Taekwondo Guy]

i chose NY as it has to be done, its like american want to see london when they cross the pond, us brits want to see New York

already been to orlando/florida but i'd rather chew off my own nut sack than go back... to many fat people and too commercial

[czymex]

One thing I noticed about NY and this is just my opinion, the peps were just not to friendly. Don't know what was up with that???? Hey TDK guy I will sell you the same glasses back to you for let's say half the price. What do you think.??? Sounds like a good deal!!!!

[Taekwondo Guy]

i come from a very in your face town in england, it was #1 in a TV programmes 'britains hardest towns'

i can put up with a few new yorkers

I've already got a pair of specs especially for this holiday

[czymex]

That's cool bro:

Well the offer is still open on the glasses, remember they will cut you're dept in half. Make sure you make you're way to the Empire State Building. Just don't drop a penny from the Observation Deck!!!!!! You could kill someone!!!!! But you can try it !!!!!

I am about 1 hour from the Big Apple. Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, The Village, Central Park, South Street Seaport... All places you must see. The limelite and palladium were definitely a place to club back in the day. Webster Hall is also a jumping club, if they are still there. Haven't been there to these clubs in about 10 years, since I was 22. To be honest with you, I am not very fond of NYC. It is too crowded and the cabs are crazy. But it is definitely the place to go for Tourists. You will find tons of bars, clubs, restaurants, etc. Have fun!!! and save up, cause everything is expensive in New York!!

Cubanchick mentioned cabs, avoid them unless you know exactly where you are going (they will circle the block for more $$). If you don't mind haggling, try hailing a limo. For about the same price as a cab, you get a limo from most hotels to take where you want to go! Have a great trip and be safe!

[BiggerGuns=LongerDrives]

Have fun!!!

Oh and remember one thing, not all Americans are rude and obnoxious like most New Yorkers
