NY Maners??? - The Orange Mane

smalltowngrll · 03-11-2008, 07:05 PM

I'm coming out your way!! (Hold the jokes...

)

Seriously, though. I've talked with one or two on here already and I'm wondering if there's an interest in having a get together at a local bar/pub/wherever. I'll be attending a couple of Mets games at Shea and maybe catch a hockey game (that one's up in the air). So, if anyone's interested, that's always an option, too.

We'll be staying in middle eastside Manhattan and we are cabbing or taking the subway everywhere, so no rental car. And, any suggestions on great places to eat/drink/dance/play that are not the normal touristy spots, would be greatly appreciated, too.

So, if there's an interest in meeting up for a little OM get together on the east coast, post away or send me a pm!

The dates I'll be there are April 9th to the 13th.

Ill you are going to see the Brewers

There is so much to do I would just wait till I got there and pick up a village voice. That will tell you everything going on in the city those nights. Everything is always open real late also. There are lots of clubs and dress codes can be a pain sometimes, so be prepared. Bars won't give you much of a problem.

Awesome...thanks! We'll definitely get the village voice, too. And, thanks for the tip on dress codes. We live in a town where everyone dresses in jeans and t-shirts. So, we'll make sure to check up on that. I LOVE to dress up anyway!!

Yes, we'll see the Mets play the Phillies and the Brewers. We'll see the Red Sox play Detroit, too.

If you want to go to the oldest pizzeria in America that serves what I and many others believe to be the best brick oven pizza in the world go to Lombardi's on Spring st. It is featured on best pizza on discovery channel, I have been going there since I was a little kid. Right down the street is a hip little bar I sometimes find myself at that is very warm and not a thug in sight. That would be the Spring Lounge. Cool bar to hang out at. If you like deli go to Katzs, or Carnegie. Deli is a must in NY.

smalltowngrll · 03-26-2008, 06:56 PM

YES!! Pizza and deli's are something we will DEFINITELY be doing!

Thanks for all your input. WOW...great info!

rbackfactory80 · 03-26-2008, 07:18 PM

I am a big fan of good food. Chinese is superb in NYC. http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/shun-lee-palace/ Best Chinese food in the city. Although expensive + make reservations
Peking Duck House: Great place in Chinatown
Japanese: Nobu: is Robert Deniro's restaurant: Make Reservations + expensive
Marumi: On la guardia place Good and fair price
Eating is fun in NY

If I am ever in bend I would expect the same.

rbackfactory80 · 03-26-2008, 07:20 PM

Oh don't ever go to the Shun Lee cafe right next door to shun lee. It sucks.

I recommend you spend time downtown...that's where people under 30 generally live and where many of the creative industries are located.

I live in the East Village. It's a great neighbourhood to eat in...I can recommend spots depending on the desired cuisine.

Also check out the West Village (beautiful buildings) and Soho (shopping).

Yes, definitely. We've got plenty of time with nothing planned. So, we'll definitely be doing lots of shopping.

We are staying at the Pod hotel (lower prices, small and cute...so I've read)

Chris · 03-27-2008, 05:38 PM

I heard the pod hotel is awesome let me know how it is.

If you want to get some cool clothes try the vintage stores in the East Village... Tokyo 7 on 7th between 1st and 2nd and Rue B on 11th and Avenue B.

Also good places to eat... Public in Nolita, The Mermaid Inn in the East Village, La Esquina in Soho (not up top...there's a hidden restaurant downstairs through the kitchen). Dunno...just throwing things out.

Enjoy yourself.
