How long you staying for? here's the current metrocard costHeading to Brooklyn for a work trip from April 16-30. Anything new in the area not previously discussed in this thread that I should check out?
Posted like a true bot.New York City is a great destination fo travelling point of view. I love to go there again and again in my travelling life. It has much and beautiful attractions for visiting point of view. I like its Niagara falls attractions for enjoying natural beauty.
You're getting decent weather at least. Houston Hall is good; 1 litre beers, ok food, etc. Brooklyneer is right next door, also good. The Highline is nearby, doesnt take long to walk the entire thing, but plenty of stuff to do off of it. Freedom Tower isn't too far. You could walk to the Hudson River and there's plenty of spots to see the Statue of Liberty...and New Jersey. Chelsea Piers(driving range, bowling, food, also a small skateboard park right there). Pier 25 has a boat bar, and decent oysters, but thats a bit of a walk from Houston Hall and it might be too cold at night for that. Frying Pan is also along the Hudson, but its more of a yuppie bar and usually packed. Fat Cat\Comedy Cellar are good suggestions too. Barcade is nearish to where you are (couple stops on the 1). Place called Little Branch that has decent drinks nearish HH(kind of a speakeasy type thing, small). Speaking of which, Crif Dogs on St. Marks is worth a quick visit.I'm getting dumped in New York early next week for a couple of days by my company. Their office is on the southern tip of the island just off Hudson St. Anyone recommend something worth a damn to do while I'm there? Might as well make the best of it.
I think there's a work outing to Houston Hall, some kind of brewery, on Tuesday.
Momo sucks. Chefs table brooklyn fare and eleven madison park are niceIn NYC for the weekend. Staying at the Ritz Carlton Battery Park (Burned soooooo many Marriott points to stay here).
Hit up Keens Chophouse (Food was OK but it was too crammed. Would have rather went to Maestro's like last time. Had some drunk fiance guys next to me who were loud, annoying and reminded of douchbag harvard trust fund kids in Cambridge.) last night followed by Momofuko Ko for lunch today (Its a good experience but as far as ~$250/person meals go it was kinda meh. Would have rather hit-up O-ya instead).
Probably just drinks and appetizers tonight. Chinatown for lunch tomorrow.
Afterwards the main reason I'm in NYC... finally seeing Book of Mormon.
Accela between Boston and NYC makes it painless to visit the city.
