I don't have archives so can I bump for things to do around New Year's Eve? Is it worth the headache to go to Times Square for the ball drop? It's sort of a bucket list thing for my boyfriend and I. We're staying with my cousin in Manhattan and cooking meals at her place, bringing our own booze/pre-gaming, and taking Megabus so we're doing this cheap. The boyfriend will have about $200-300 and I will have about $400-500. Not much, but we'll probably end up staying most nights in since we're not big bar/club people (will probably be too tired to walk anywhere at night anyway). Does Central Park get a special treatment around Christmas or if someone could recommend a park for a great light show? Will definitely be visiting the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza. I'm thinking a live indie show for one night as we both love underground music, and we're art museum and general museum junkies. MOMA is on the list. Also do the nerdy/touristy things like a visit to the giant toy stores and mega stores. I'll be going with more to spend so I'm looking for consignment stores to shop for used designer clothing. Oh and sweet, sweet record stores. It's looking like Dec 28/29-Jan 3/4 for our time span there.

bam thwok posted:Huge pain. Tightly packed, massive annoying security apparatus, freezing cold most years or rainy. But hey, you've got to do it once. Large crowds don't bother me too much. Hey if it is packed that tight then maybe the crowd will create a warm bubble. If it is raining then screw that.

You're going to be really shocked about the neighborhoods you can afford to live in on a cook's wages. I'd look around Brooklyn or Queens, but remember the closer you are to an MTA stop or Manhattan apartment prices skyrocket. There's a very active local NYC goons megathread in the meet-up sections. I'd ask there.

Yea I'd make a reservation at Jean-Georges in advance and enjoy the fine dining experience. Times Sq is really overrated.

I blame the hang over. Someone should open a Juan-Jorges food cart and park right around Columbus Circle. cheese eats mouse fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Aug 19, 2012 |
