Going to NYC tomorrow! Any "must-do's?"


*Heather*

Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for all of your great ideas! Once we were there it was actually pretty hard to go "out of the way" to do a lot of it, but we had an amazing time regardless! We spent a lot of time in Soho and the lower east side, plus the Yankee game was a blast! We ended up in the adidas box so all of our food and drinks were free...needless to say, we were all pretty wasted by the time we left :) It was SO much fun!

 

My favourite place was an Italian place we went in the Lower East Side called Lil Frankies - honestly, this place is amazing! I'm 100% going back there next time I go to NYC. I had the best appetizer there that I've ever had in my entire life, and the pasta melts in your mouth...plus the atmosphere is great. I totally recommend it!

 

Here are a few pics from our weekend:

That's it! I can't wait to go back again, although my wallet is still on fire so we probably won't be making the trip there again for awhile sad.gif

 

Thanks again everyone for your suggestions!

Since you already saw all the touristy things I would say just enjoy eating. LOL. New Yorkers love their food. Or if you did want to see something you could go see the "Walking with Dinosaurs" exhibition in Madison Square Garden. It runs from July 30- August 3. It is supposed to be awesome, they have real life looking dinosaurs.

Also there is that cadaver exhibit in South Street Seaport called "Bodies the Exhibition". People seem to really love that.

Both of these events are not touristy things they are things that NYers go see so maybe you'd like to check one of them out.

Obviously you should shop till you drop b/c there are tons of stores especially in SOHO. And SOHO has those great little vendors on the street that sell cool jewlery and sunglasses.

As far as nightlife goes some of the "good" clubs are kind of hard to get into but you can still go somewhere nice like the Hudson Hotel or the Rooftop of the Empire Hotel.

Hope you have fun!
I would definitely second going to Pastis!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
