I plan on having about 400$ to spend.
preferably not in one place.
Give me suggestions on what to do/where to go in NYC.
PLACES ALREADY PLANNING ON GOING TO:
- Ground Zero
- Empire State Building
- That nintendo store
I was thinking about maybe going to the high line at some point.
http://www.thehighline.org/
so I need more suggestions, as I'm staying for a week (July 1st - 7th).
Go see a show, duh. bassir;
Buy 40 snow globes from a souvenir shop. baddood;
If you go after they reopen the crown on la statue de la Liberté, you should go there. baddood;
HEY HOLYSHIT I'M IN NY TOO. Got here two days ago.
So far I haven't done much, but I did see the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame Museum in SoHo, you might enjoy it. There's a big board in the Lennon exhibit where you can sign and shit, so if you see "FLETCH", it's a-me.

what should I go see?
I'm not sure how much Broadway tickets cost, but that'd probably eat your entire $400. hocuspocus;
Perhaps you could go see Conan or SNL.

conan moved to LA if I'm not mistaken

I've only watched about ten minutes of the show. lol I always end up watching the last few minutes or so, and then it's that guy who's hardly funny at all. Though, I guess it's much better than the really late night talk show.
Coney Island, Flushing Meadow Park, Central Park, Apple Stores.

Are you fucking retarded?
Of all of the retarded things he's said, you decided to call him out for...that?

Not really, do you pay attention? I call him out at least once a day

Why the hell would you wanna go to the Apple store unless you need to buy something? doodhuh;

Really, I guess the one on Fifth Avenue or whatever is pretty to look at, but you can just look at it on the website. doodhuh;

That's the one I was referring to. The Apple Store 5th ave is extremely nice.

But it's still just a store and not really anything special. doodhuh;
You should go to some museums... more specifically, the Met

The architecture is beautiful.

It's just a glass cube with the store below it. doodhuh;
Not to mention the store looks cramped. Never mind, I guess I got the interior mixed up with our store.
Does new york still have an enormous Toys R us in Times Square or something?
Also, as for a show you could attend, the Today show, I guess, lol.
There's almost nothing you can get at the nintendo store that you can't get anywhere else, too many places sell Ninty Shirts now. The only good things they have are the plushies. And their Twilight Princess Trading cards, but they probably don't have those anymroe. :(
I'm kinda a loser so I don't know if anyone else would like this, but I always check in the NBC Store (it's right next to Nintendo World) when I go to rockefeller center. If you have extra time sign up for the tour (it's like $20 for an hour I think) they bring you into the studios and it's actually pretty fun. You usually end up seeing a star or two, but it's off-season so don't expect much. There's also some sort of a thing where you can go, as they say, on "top of the rock" and get an amazing view of the city. I've never bothered but I've seen pictures from it, really nice. No idea what the cost is.
Also in Rockefeller, there are like 5 chocolate shops (Godiva <333). You must stop in one.
And you have to go to Crumbs. I have no idea where it is, I forget, but best cupcakes fucking ever. Hands Down.
As for museums, the Met and MOMA are both good. Brooklyn Botanic Garden is great if you want to take a stroll through some pretty flowers (it's actually a really interesting place to be, I could spend a whole afternoon in there.
I think Avenue Q has left the city, otherwise I'd recommend that... I really have no idea what's on broadway right now. If you wander the streets for long enough there's a good chance you'll be invited to sit in the audience for something.
I dunno, there are all sorts of monuments and whatnot that anyone going to visit new york should see. I',m not sure how often you go/have been/ etc. If this is your first time, go check out grand central. My favorite building in the whole city.
Oh, and to get around, get a day-long pass for the subway. You haven't experienced the city until you've gotten completely lost in their public transportation system. :|
chat with some BITCH and make her/him take you to places

I don't know about Conan, but for SNL there is a lottery once a year in August. if you don't get a ticket then, you don't get a ticket. There's no way he'd be able to score a seat in there, those are the most difficult tickets to get in all of NYC. Plus there's the fact that SNL has wrapped for the summer.

I asked him to sing a song for me. He played like three chords and said something like, "I am the naked cowboy and you are beautiful." I was disappointed.
But thena HUMONGOUS AD FOR THE WII came on the big screen at the toys r us store (this was a few weeks before the wii came out so I was very excited) so I ran away from him.

Smoke some fine marijuana. Haha only kidding. In all honesty you should go to the 9-11 memorial. See a show as someone else stated. Maybe go downtown with a sign saying "Keep your coins, I want change."
Visit Bassir's apartment or house or hole.

Exactly. Why go outside when you can Google "Sunset" or "Girls"?

i do that anyway.
So we are definitely going to go to some museums, I really want to go to MoMa.
also, if time permits, I'm going to find every bike rack designed by David Byrne and get a picture with it.
My friends want to go to the gigantic Barnes and Nobles and go play hide and seek in there. If I get a camcorder, then I'll post videos of it.
also isn't Ellis Island the same place as the statue of liberty, or is it somewhere else?

I think there's a difference between going to some store whilst on vacation just because it looks 'pretty' and going outside in general. doodhuh;
