you are going to love NYC. I live in Jersey right now, but I will be moving into the city for a little while next month. Definitely be that person and do the typical tourist stuff. There is a lot to see.

Picked up a Samsung Galaxy Pro tablet earlier today. Pretty happy about that purchase so far.

Yeah I saw that. We'll see what happens

At the very least, 'Chocolate World' is free and has pretty good hours.

Enjoy the trip!

I'm flying in on 12/9 and leaving 12/14 (6:30 AM )

I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible. I'm aware cheap and NYC don't really work but I'm fairly good at this sort of thing. I'm staying at a hostel on 101st and Broadway for $50 a night. The Met and Natural History Museum are pay what you want. Guggenheim is pay what you want on Saturday afternoon. MoMA is free on fridays. So that's a huge hunk off my price tag.

Not planning on going to the Empire State Building. I've been told it's a ton of waiting and Top of the Rock has a better view.

I'm paying full price for the 9/11 Tribute center. It's free on tuesday nights but you have to be there by 6 and my flight arrives at LGA at 4:20. I figure it would be mighty difficult to get from LGA, to 101st and Broadway, to Ground Zero in an hour and 40 minutes.

One of my best friends lives in Jersey City so we are gonna hang out. I don't get to see her very often.

I found a website called [Only registered users can see links.] that lists the best food in NYC for less that $10. Obviously it's opinion but it lists by buroughs and neighborhoods and integrates with google maps.

as of right now the only place I know I'm going to eat at is Carnegie Deli. Not because it's iconic or anything but I've heard their motto is "If you can finish your meal we didn't do out job." 1. I'm up to that challenge. 2. I love pastrami.

Things I'd really like to see are places with rich musical history. The Apollo Theater, the place where CBGB used to be, Hotel Chelsea, the Joe Strummer memorial, Strawberry Fields, etc...

[Wildcats82]

oh and at noon on Saturday I will be at Jack Demseys watching Kentucky beat up on North Carolina

[MaLaKaS]

That sounds like a solid plan! It looks like you definitely did your research. Are you going to go to Central Park as well?

[Wildcats82]

of course!

I forgot to mention, I have every intention of seeing anything Ghostbusters related (the firehouse, Dana Barrets apartment, NY public library) and if I can see something out of a Scorsese movie (... Gangs of New York) would be awesome

Uh, Is it bad if the recent purchase that you're excited about it a kitchen product?

Was it a Vitamix?

Went a little crazy this week. Bought the iPad air 2, just purchased the 5k iMac to pick up tomorrow, and then also blew stuff on new under armour hunting gear and new crossfit shoes. Poor bank account.

woooooooh-weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!

You will not finish the sandwich at the Carnegie deli. Not saying don't go, but don't go if you have an expectation of eating for free.

Also, Brooklyn is much cheaper than Manhatten if you are looking for places.

You have to eat at the halal truck down the street from 30 rock, and it's cheap. It's amazing and about to be world famous (franchises coming across the country) [Only registered users can see links.]
