Visiting the Big Apple soon

Walk around the East Village (Union Sq subway stop). It's a cool place to just explore. I also like the Financial District, around Fulton St and Nassau St. It's more like an old city with windy, narrow streets. Stone Street has restaurants on both sides with patio furniture in the middle, a nice area to get lunch or drinks if you're old enough. It's a ghost town after 8pm though.

Last time I stayed in Manhattan, it was in a hotel quite near Fulton street, Gild Hall on Platt Street. It was dead quiet at night, really nice.
 
That's one of my biggest pet peeves when I hear people say, I visited so and so place and ate at the same restaurant that is located where I live.

I absolutely don't see the point of eating at places you have back at home when you are on holiday.

My friend who I am going with is a big fan of Friends, so we might try some food at "the little owl"
 
Was there for the first time a couple months ago. I only got to walk around for. Few hours, but I loved it. Plan on going back for a nice long weekend soon.
 
I thought I would revive this thread, as I am planning my annual trip to NYC again for April.

A question for native New Yawkers: I'm thinking about staying at a hotel in the Prospect Park neighbourhood of Brooklyn. Is that area generally okay? Keep in mind, I'm way past the age where I party at night; usually I am indoors by 11 pm.

Prospect Park is home to brownstones that cost MILLIONS. It's very gentrified and very much a family area PR.
 
Back to this topic, I am thinking about visiting the last week of March vs. the last week of April. Am I likely to experience any weather problems? I don't care if I have to wear a coat, I just don't want it to snow or walk on ice.

By the end of March the winter weather should be done, outside of a freak storm or something.
 
Yeah I remember it snowing around mid March 2 years ago.

There is less of a chance of it in April though.

I'll actually be in Brooklyn twice this month for a show and a basketball game.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here: by "basketball game" you mean illegally running onto the court at the Barclays Centre, and by "show" you mean a general lack of pants.
 
Lack of everything except my inhibitions.
 
Not sure if they do this still or not, but my friends and I used to go to all you can eat sushi + all you can drink sake bombs for like $30 in NYC. Very dangerous...
 
I'm hoping to move to NY later in the year, or if not, 2017.
 
On a related note I am coming back to Manhattan for my sixth visit...

Going to coincide the trip with Comic Con again, this will be my fourth year in a row.
The difference this time is that I will be travelling with the woman I love and we will be cosplaying together... :ilv: :db:

:woot::woot::woot:
 
Been living here for 25 years and I'm ready to get out. Studios in Brooklyn, Manhattan and even Queens now go for 1800 plus. It's ridiculous. It's crowded all the time. Unless you're moving here for work or go to school then it's best to just take a 2 week vacation here.
