New York City suggestions? Options

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)

NYC! I go to college there, so maybe I can come up with some things.

- Definitely try to see Rent, since it's closing in June.
- Museums are always fun. I know they're free for students in NYC, but I'd bring any student ID just in case. There's a Museum of Sex that has a hentai exhibit which I think is a little weird and possibly a bit sketch, but I've been planning to go for a while.
- Shopping: 5th ave, of course, then places between 34th and 42nd on Broadway.
- South St. Seaport - there's a mall there, then there's also the Bodies Exhibit which is a lot better than the one that was in Houston for a bit.
- St. Marks. I've never been, but my roommate loves going there. Lots of restaurants, shopping, etc.
- Club Row (west 27th) if you're into that. There's a lot of 18+ clubs if you're not 21 yet.
- Bleecker St. has a lot of cheap poster/thrift/record stores.
- Lincoln Center - also lots of shopping (there's a mall) and you can try to see a few concerts.
- Union Square - movies, some shopping, some clubs, etc.
- Little Italy, Chinatown, etc.
- in Chinatown, there's Canal st. if you're into knock-offs and cheap shit.
- Jing Fong (on Chinatown) has AMAZING dim sum for a really good price.

hm. yeah.
have fun!
