There's a Ten Ren in Flushing. eyebrowes.gif And a Quickly just a few blocks away, on Kissena Blvd.

There's a Ten Ren near Jane's house. eyebrowes.gif And its near Queens Center Mall.

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



It's a bit far away from the 34th and Herald Square. It's like on 9th Ave and 33rd/34th St. Their hours of operation are weird so check their website before you go. It's HUGE. And there are great discounts.

They want to knock down Astroland but keep the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel so they can revamp that area to be more high class. Aka, new malls and new condos and hotels to provide you know, the Brooklynite view for tourists.

Ok good, as long as you know about rush hour, you are good. Since you can't possibly hit up all of these spots in the days you will be here, I would say as far as Manhattan goes, Union Square, Herald Square, The Village, Soho, and 53rd and 6th are must see spots.

i think a lot of the bars in the village, esp around st. mark's are cheap with good drinks. i can't specify any 'cause they're all about the same. as restaurant wise goes, i do like kenkas... they serve drinks there, too.

also, if you're up for it, visit the time warner mall at 59th. i like the samsung store ;P

I feel like such a noob. I have lived across from the city my whole life, and never knew of a lot of these places. There is always time for catching up though.

Rays Pizza



There's like ONE MILLION and ONE Ray's Pizza.

I wonder what the real one is...

EDIT:

So after some Googling:

The VERY VERY first Ray's Pizza was run by Ralph Cuomo who got arrested for heroin making: 27 Prince Street.

The Ray's Pizza that people copycat: 6th Avenue and 11th Street.

So if you're gonna go to any Ray's Pizza, it should be those two.

You should also go to Ray's Pizza because it was in Ted Leo's "Me and Mia" video (I annoyed several people by shouting my recognition on the bus the last time I was in the city).

I really don't like Yonkers. People there, from what I've noticed, have a really brash demeanor.

Queens is just boring as a whole. If it wasn't for Shea Stadium or the US Open I wouldn't go near it. The Ray's on sixth is crazy, and the halal spot i.e. 53RD and 6TH is right down the street from it. Also, if anyone should ever venture into NJ, there is this pizza place called Benny Tudinos in Hoboken.....I can't even describe how good that pizza is!

Oh yeah.

Williamsburg in Brooklyn. There's a place called Beacon's Closet which is a pretty cool thrift shop.
