New York City Recommendations

Can anyone recommend things to do/see in New York City?

I may be going there shortly and as a first time visitor what do people recommend?

I can tell you what attractions to AVOID.

Central Park Gay Intimacy Club
Beirut Reenactment Day in the Projects
Holland Tunnel Rush Hour Footrace
Famous Curbside 'Sugar' Dealers
Disgruntled Cabbie Street Ride
Rich History of Pawn Shops Bus Tour
'White Power' rally in the Bronx

to name a few......
:D :D :D

Well, heres a few things you might want to check out, maybe learn some things about our Country...

Statue Of Liberty
Empire State Building
Ellis Island
Lincoln Center
New York Stock Exchange
United Nations
Yankee Stadium/Shea Stadium

Theres so much more to New York, you could spend a long time just figuring out what you want to do!
As for eating, sleeping and things of that nature, I believe Erebus lives in upstate NY. Maybe you two could meet and he could show you around.

Also, if you do come, let me be the first to welcome you here.

i can't believe no one has mentioned greenwich village and washington square. This is one of the weirdest places you'll ever see. Just don't stay around after dark, you might get bumped from behind.

It's amazing what you'll see on the square: artists, flame eaters, musicians, magicians, protesters, etc... it's amazing what new yorkers do to amuse themselves and others.

West Village = Greenwich Village
The Speakeasy, Chumbly's, and John's pizza are also in the village.

True, but I don't think it's what it used to be.

Good luck driving down 42nd, tons of traffic and way too many tourists, but Times Square at night is a sight.

Just find 50 cent and rub shoulders with him. At least check out the Garden. Wouldn't you like to see where my celtics beat the hell out of the Knicks?
