New York City suggestions? Options

[missnh]

Hey everyone,

I'll be in NYC March 18-21 with a friend! Do you guys know any must-see stores or spots? (preferably all shopping :P)

^_^

[illriginal]

NYC alone will be a blast. You must... MUST!!!!! Have NY food, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Italian... omfg even their cold subs are great!

I would need to know your price range and what not for stores.
Try to avoid all of the touristy spots: Ground Zero, Ellis Island, Empire State etc. As a matter of fact, what I can do is, I will look up on the calendar what days those are, and give you some good spots to visit.

The tourist locations suck balls anyways. Boring.

Yeah, for sure. We're not going to any of those. I really want to find some good vintage stores, since the selection here pretty much sucks.

TAKE ME WITH YOU

Umm...personally, I'd be hitting up the H&M, but you probably have those where you live. The last time I was in New York was on a band trip, so the only shopping I really go to do was at the South Street Seaport (nice, but like a mall, so probably not worth your time) and Chinatown. Lots of good bootlegs around both of those places, though. I really regret not getting a bag in Chinatown. And you definitely have to visit Greenwich Village. Ho hum. I don't know, it's been three years since I've been, and both of my trips that year were really restricted (as the one was with the band, and the other my family. I'm trying (and failing) to convince someone to go with me over Spring Break.

Definitely hit up Soho, and Christopher street in the village. The village as a whole is good, but Christopher tends to have some really good gets. Where exactly will you be staying? I can definitely offer some good restaurants while you are here. As well, if you are into halal food at all, you must hit up 53rd and sixth. Eddie put me onto that.

haha, dont know about our cold subs but definitely go to the diverse areas.

..i dont think i shop at a store that cant be found where ever you are, so i dont know.

haha, maybe you should go to the burger place tama was raving about (..i think it was him)

definitely ignore tourist spots.

[DoubleJ]

No no, it was me with the burgers lol. Michelle, since you will be here during the week, it will be easier for you to move between 10 and 4 and then between 6 30 and 6 a.m. Other than that, I would be sleeping. Is this your first time to the city?

OMG I completely forgot about H&M! No, we don't have one in Houston (surprisingly)!

Wait... what?! (about the time things) No, it's not my first time here, but first time without parents.

[DoubleJ]

Just that if you are going to be moving on the subways or by cabs, it tends to be easier to access both during those time frames. Rush hour is a beast here if you are not used to it. H&M is good over here, and the one I like is in Herald Square. I must admit, that the mall at herald square is horrible, but the shops in the area, are to die for.

[transcendentalis...]

i forgot.
LITTLE ITALY <3

[DoubleJ]

Wohop in chinatown is a must. Chinese food that is a killer. Little Italy for sure.

[EddieV]

53rd and 6th at night. MUST GO!

[transcendentalis...]

i also suggest going to columbia and trying to pass yourself off as a student for kicks.

[DoubleJ]

The Hooters in midtown is awesome as well. If you go there, ask for Janae, and tell her that JaVonn sent you.

[LoveToMySilas]

Queens Center Mall. Plus, Jane is near there as well! Oh yeah, you can snag a bunch of bargains in ChinaTown. (Try bargaining with them!)

[Comptine]

Shake Shack (Madiseon Square Park), Say Cheese (45th 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

[MissHygienic]

All of the sushi joints, if you like sushi, that is.

BROADWAY SHOW

Definitely agreed, hell, I am from Jersey, and you have given me a place I need to look at. Is anybody in here into tea? Like real tea, not that Lipton shit.

[stephinika]

Man...this is making me wanna go to NY so bad.

[DoubleJ]

I think that cb should have a ny and a cali meet. The NY kids show the Cali kids a night on the town, and vice versa. That would be so much fun!
