Hey... that's my Spring Break too.

If you're going and want to maximize the fun, forget the tourist traps like Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.

Get a metrocard for the day. Do not drive.

Go to 5th ave and the area around Rockefeller Center. The rules are keep moving, or gtfo of the way, unless you want to be trampled. Laugh at the 9/11 conspiracy people who try to sell bumper stickers to you. Move on to SoHo. Do not use a car.

From there, go to Ching Chang Chong Canal Street China Town. Do not take a car there. Only black people do that. The black people will honk at you and yell GODDAMN CHINKS, but just ignore them. They know they can't run you over, and if they tried, they would be hopelessly outnumbered.

- st. mark's; the whole area is full of good food/ good vintage stores
- soho: uniqlo! + all the shops on spring st.
- 5th ave starting from 59th down to around 42nd: all the 'rich' stores
- pinkberry in ktown (32nd between 6th and 5th)
- tebaya: awesome little japanese joint with THE BEST japanese chicken wings, you must try! on 19th between 6th and broadway
- i'd recomment chinatown for food, not really for shopping. you could find awesome cheap crap, but that's only if you're really looking.

Yeah, there's an H&M somewhere in the 40's and 5th Avenue. I don't know how good it is since I've never been inside it, but there's also one at Herald Square.

Also, if you want to make time for a museum, go to the MoMA: 11 West 53rd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. :) <33

Haha, I'd forgotten about that! I thought it was kind of boring when I went a few years ago but from the looks of their site, they've added a bunch of stuff. Looks colorful.

Very colorful, haha
Its not fun if your going with parents. You have to go with a big group of friends, thats the best =]
The things where you just sit there and listen to how a megaphone works is boring as hell. And the rest is fun for a time being and then you look back and say, "Wow, that was the stupidest museum i have ever been to"

YESS come to Queens and ignore Manhattan!
Haha you should visit Flushing, Queens. Not exactly vintage stuff, but they have some really adorable things there.

^It takes forever to get to Queens. I use to go to the marina/bay for dragonboat practice and it took 2 hours from Brooklyn to Flushing.

Yes, get a one day fun pass metrocard. It's only 7 dollars (hopefully, unless the MTA raised shit again) and you can go everywhere. You'll have to get a new one everyday though.

Ktown is a good recommendation. It's near Herald Square so you got Manhattan mall and the giant Macy's. Ktown has PINKBERRY and a ton of karaoke places which are really fun. A little bit away is B&H, which is like J&R electronics except a lot cheaper.

Central Park! I don't think anyone has said Central Park.

Coney Island in Brooklyn. I'm not sure if it's open season yet but it's getting torn down so go there and see the place. Don't go on the Cyclone unless you're like Claire Bennett and can regenerate.

In Chinatown, if you want Bubble tea, go to TEN REN'S. It's a bit pricey but it has amazing quality tea.

I want to go homeeeeeeee. I miss NYC.

Things are usually more expensive in the city. There are Ten Ren's in Queens, too.

WERD! I go to school in brooklyn and it takes me 2 hours. BUTT definitely check out Coney Island...if it's still there. Wasn't there talk of them building something in place of Coney Island? I'd really hate for that to happen. _unsure.gif

Shake Shack (Madiseon Square Park), Say Cheese (49th Street), Broadway/Soho (YELLOW RAT BASTARD, Antique Orange for funky edgy brands and since your title is Miss DIY, this area also has tons of fabric stores with really interesting additional things like beads and peacock feathers).

BROADWAY SHOW


OH GOD yes. If I went to NY, that'd be one of the first things I'd do.

This B&H sounds interesting. For anybody that is into tea, Tavalon is a good place in Union Square to hit up.
