StreetAdvisor: Reviews for New York, New York, United States

call it an extended visit

5/15/2008 10:47:05 PM -07:00

I didn't have to take care of anything but I stayed in an apartment overlooking the park for a month. Basically rented a friend's place for the month. Cost me all of $600 because that's what she was subletting the place for. Hooray for rent-control wonkiness. I gotta say it was the first time I'...

yes, better than Carnegie deli

5/15/2008 10:36:48 PM -07:00

Go here for no other reason than Katz's Deli. Really. In spite of everything else in the area it's my favorite. Be sure to ask one of the owners about the rumors that they're about to sell out to a developer or move the store or retire to Tahiti. Savor the pained look on their faces. And the che...

On the edge of Chinatown

5/13/2008 2:37:20 PM -07:00

This street seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis – on the south side, its full of brightly coloured Chinese shops and restaurants, while on the north it has nondescript brown brick buildings, the only thing sticking out being the parking signs. It goes underneath the Manhattan Bridge, and ...

Strong Chinese presence.

5/13/2008 2:32:22 PM -07:00

In the middle of a Chinese district of New York, Pell Street is typical of any Chinese shopping street in a Western city, with colourful, incomprehensible signs fighting for space up the sides of buildings, and all the shops painted a different bright colour. Some good Chinese food to be had on thi...

Full of life

5/13/2008 2:28:59 PM -07:00

Whilst I wouldn’t want to live here, Ludlow St in New York is a great place to go out. Full of bars and clubs, and the rest of the street plastered in gig posters, this is a place that bustles with life and I imagine there’s always some good live music to be found here.

Good vibes, and culture.

5/13/2008 2:24:39 PM -07:00

Walked down this street briefly and I found it to be a bustling place full of culture. There’s a strong Jewish presence here, and also a Chinese one at the other end. Down the south end it’s on the edge of Sweard Park, and the buildings on the street are generally in a better state of repair than ne...

Nice place, like a tropical island in an ocean, almost

5/13/2008 2:17:33 PM -07:00

Norfolk St would strike me as a much better place to live on than its counterpart in British county names Suffolk St next door, instead of being a dull and boarded up place this street has trees down it which always make a place seem nicer, and in general it had a good vibe.

Wouldn't wanna live here.

5/13/2008 2:11:56 PM -07:00

A slightly nicer street than other nearby ones, Suffolk Street still consists of the same dull brown buildings, most of which seem like they’re not being used. A fairly rough part of the city, sadly every city has to have these types of areas. It didn’t strike me as a place I wanted to stick around ...

Lives up to its name, in some ways.

5/13/2008 2:08:03 PM -07:00

Well I was certainly impressed, driving along here when I visited New York. It’s completely different to anything I’ve seen in England, a wide, straight road right through the middle of New York with lots of high rise buildings around. Tons of character as well. One thing that struck me was how poin...

Not a nice place.

5/13/2008 2:02:17 PM -07:00

Had the misfortune to have to go down here on my recent walking tour of New York, it’s filled with 60s style dull brown brick buildings, bad on their own, but they are completely covered in graffiti, ranging from monkeys saying ‘stay in school’ to the more profound. Wouldn’t want to live here. Or v...

North end looks nice to live at

5/13/2008 1:59:00 PM -07:00

At the north end of the road, Clinton St looks like a nice place, it’s leafy and has quite tasteful salmon pink facades. Walking south it becomes a highly commercial area, every building is a shop, some good shopping to be found here but you wouldn’t want to live here.

Quite nice quiet street

5/13/2008 1:51:24 PM -07:00

While on my first holiday to New York City from England I walked down Cherry Street on the way to Corlears Hook Park. It’s a pleasant street, on the edge of the urban metropolis, with a lot of greenery, with a park on one side, and some fairly old high-rise apartments on the other side.

Charming Neighborhood - to walk through or live if you can afford it

5/12/2008 1:14:08 PM -07:00

This area is renowned for Gramercy Park--a gated park that is only accessible to the lucky (and rich!) people who live around it and possess a key. However, that should not stop you from peeping through the fence to admire the mini daffodils during the spring. The neighborhood is on the quiet side...

Highlights and Lowlights of Canal St.

5/12/2008 1:00:10 PM -07:00

So this is definitely the street to avoid if you are a claustrophobic and/or germaphobic. I won't kid you, the streets are filthy and smelly. Walking is only a little more difficult here than Time Square. However, eating here is fun if you know where to go. My recommendation is Happy Shabu where...

Street to Get Things Done

5/12/2008 12:50:15 PM -07:00

So with the opening of Home Depot on the stretch of 23rd between 5th and 6th, this is where to go to start home improvement projects. There is a locksmith on the south side of the street as well. The street runs both ways so make sure you look right and left before crossing. It's close to Madison...

Fun and Delicious Place to Visit

5/12/2008 12:44:29 PM -07:00

The strip of LaGuardia Place between Bleecker and Houston happens to contain my favorite bakery in all of NYC--Bruno's. It's like finding yourself in a lovely European cafe all of a sudden. Try the favori (chocolate hazelnut mousse with chocolate ganache on top). Sigh! It's the perfect after din...

Korean Adventure in Midtown

5/12/2008 12:34:41 PM -07:00

So you are looking for a decent place to eat after arriving at Penn. You only have so much time before the show or game. Where do you go? K-Town. The stretch of 32nd between 5th and Broadway is filled with all sorts of delicious food. From the sweet and salty bbq to the tender mandoo (dumplings...

42nd St. -The only reason to be here is if you are seeing a Broadway Show

5/12/2008 12:25:14 PM -07:00

So I hate this stretch of NYC. The food is overpriced and the only people here are slow walking tourists. The streets are dirty and smelly. A few saving graces--authentic Serbian food at Djerdan. Fabulous food--make sure you try the stuffed cabbage. Fabric--loads of fabric stores in this area if...

Union Square, Lively and Fun

5/12/2008 11:40:09 AM -07:00

Ironically, Union Square is one of the best places to exercise your capitalistic impulses and shop. From the farmers market to the Virgin Megastore, you won't have a lack of things to buy. The Strand Bookstore is just south of Union Square on Broadway. If you head east on 14th St, you will find a...

21st St. Between 5th & 6th

5/12/2008 11:28:06 AM -07:00

Constant construction in this area is rather annoying. It also isn't the cleanest. During the summer, the street smells along with the dumpsters. However, it is very close to all the amenities of Fifth Ave. and Union Square. Markt is a Belgian restaurant with the best mussels. The Burger Co. on...

Fifth Ave by the Flatiron Building

5/12/2008 11:20:05 AM -07:00

I worked at this location for several years. The shopping on this street and surrounding areas is much preferable to the much more touristy and crowded 34th St. There is a Gap, Zara, Old Navy, H&M, TJ Maxx, Daffy's (although the 34th St. one is MUCH better), 2 Filene's basements (one is by the TJ ...

Park Ave below Grand Central

5/12/2008 11:08:44 AM -07:00

This location has pretty much everything except nightlife. It's within walking distance to pretty much everything...Grand Central, Port Authority and Penn. It's close to several great restaurants--check out the charming Barking Dog's on 34th (and ask for outdoor seating by the waterfall outside!),...

West 73rd, Jackson Heights... Tasty!

5/11/2008 5:25:08 PM -07:00

I don't walk Jackson Heights in the the upper west side much (that's the part of Manhattan that's West of Central Park, a few miles north of Times Square and all the bustle). But when I do, I always remember to sample some of the amazing street food in the area, which I am sure is the best in New Yo...

You Don't Like West 55th? No Soup for You!

5/11/2008 5:16:49 PM -07:00

55th Street starts at Sutton Place South on the East Side and doesn't turn into West 55th until the usual time (by crossing 5th Avenue), after which it runs all the way to the 9A West Side Highway. It crosses all of Manhattan along the way, making it a great street to walk for a (long) day's work.

One of New York's Most Famous Streets!

5/11/2008 5:10:55 PM -07:00

West 57th Street in New York City is one of the City's most famous and fun streets. I always spend time on 57th Street when I am in New York, especially around Midtown.

In addition to Tiffany & Co. and Bergdorf Goodman on the East side, there's two of the must-see places in New York in Carnegie ...

Seventh is Home to Loehmann's. What Else Matters?

5/11/2008 5:01:58 PM -07:00

Whenever I go to New York City, I make at least one trip up to the Bronx, and it's not for the Yankees! Instead, I have to make my pilgrimmage to Loehmann's, the oldest and coolest discount fashion store in New York, America... or maybe even the whole world. It's a real part of New York's history an...

Artsy Soho at Its Best!

5/11/2008 4:55:38 PM -07:00

Prince Street in Soho is a terrific artsy street, everything New York's Soho is supposed to be. It's an excellent place to spend an entire day (and I've done that many times!), because in addition to big-ticket shopping like H&M and the Apple Store, it's also full of tiny terrific shopping, includin...

More than Little Brazil, It's About the Buildings!

5/11/2008 4:50:18 PM -07:00

Everyone says 46th Street is all about Little Brazil and Restaurant Row, and that's all great, but it's so much more than that. I stayed at the Muse Hotel here (a cute little boutique hotel) and it's now one of my favorite hotels in the world. The neighborhood up and down 46th is dotted with cool st...

Canal Street is Real New York

5/11/2008 4:33:41 PM -07:00

Canal Street is the long, exciting edge of New York's Chinatown and it's one of my favorite bargain hunting streets.

There are so many tiny perfume and fashion shops on Canal that it's difficult to visit them all on the same day. Luckily there are also enough cafes and excellent Chinese restaura...

A Nice Respectable Street

5/11/2008 4:28:24 PM -07:00

If you've ever seen a Woody Allen movie, you have probably seen New York's Cherry Street. An upscale neighborhood from the 1920's, today it's mostly full of older tenement buildings and co-op apartments. I've often stayed with friends here, and I think it's one of Manhattan's nicest and quietest are...

Old New York is All About Delancey Street

5/11/2008 4:23:45 PM -07:00

Delancey Street is one of my favorite streets in New York. I went here first because it's mentioned in a song by Regina Spektor (who I love), and I fell in love with this neighborhood!

Delancey cuts across the island all the way from the Williamsburgh Bridge to the Bowery, and taking a walk here ...

Grand Street is a NYC Classic for Coffee and Walks!

5/11/2008 4:18:49 PM -07:00

I love Manhattan's Grand Street on the Lower East Side, on the edge of Little Italy. Not only does it have my favorite coffee shop in the world, it's a classic of New York Life, as it's been featured in so many movies and TV shows that it feels familiar every time you walk down the road. It's a terr...

Ritzy Shops Near Park Ave.

5/11/2008 4:14:12 PM -07:00

East 40th street in eastern Manhattan is only a few blocks from the busy FDR Drive, but it's also only a few blocks away from Park Avenue in the other direction. I love this area because it's full of expensive, exclusive, and quirky out-of-the-way shops like the Ritzy Dog Grooming shop and the Berke...

Pay a lot, but you get a lot

5/9/2008 4:05:14 PM -07:00

This street is one of the higher priced streets to live on in New York City, but it is also one of the nicest, safest, friendliest, interesting streets to live on or to visit. When you come here you get a sense of comfort and wealth from the moment you arrive. The people here are very kind, and if y...

A woman's dream street

5/9/2008 4:01:33 PM -07:00

Men, this street may be one to avoid if you don't want to be out all day. This street has some of the most expensive, fancy shoe stores in the world. Any make, any brand, all of them are here and waiting for that lucky woman to come and give them a good home. There are a few places to eat, but the m...

Great family street

5/9/2008 3:58:08 PM -07:00

This street is great for married couples, especially those with children. The schools in this area are top notch as far as education, safety, and the fact that they are very close. The only downside is that it can get almost too boring here because of how quiet it can be. So, if you like action, you...

Nice but average

5/9/2008 3:51:11 PM -07:00

When you come to this street you see that it is quaint and has some decent shops to look around in. The food is good too but nothing you can't get from any takeout place near your area. Also, when compared to other streets in NY this one pales in comparison. The place has friendly people and some sh...

an amazing street

5/9/2008 3:48:29 PM -07:00

I came to NY one year with my girlfriend, ready to see the city. Once we hit this street, I knew that was as far as I was going to get. There is so much shopping here that we ended up staying on this street until well into the night. Men, if you come here with a lady, bring an Ipod or a portable tv ...

As good as it gets

5/9/2008 3:45:37 PM -07:00

Anyone who has ever been to this street knows that it has no rivals and certainly no equals. I love coming to NY and this street is a must on my 'to see' list everytime.

Stanton Street was a on my list on must visit places in New York after having read so much about it. However when I got there and stood on the pavement the feel I got was not of very positive energy.

A nice place to visit and stay

5/9/2008 12:10:10 AM -07:00

The transport system in the Hudson Street is convenient and reliable. The uptown M20 bus running through the Northbound Hudson Street is the chief mode of transport in the street. It is the home of the Hot 97 radio Station. The Church of St. Luke in the Fields is a must see place in the street.

Cool and pleasant place

5/8/2008 4:42:27 AM -07:00

Inquisitiveness captured my mind in knowing the fact behind the name of this street. But not much later one of the locals had an answer to my quest. A very polite man indeed, he said that the street got its name from the grove trees that originally covered the area before being deforested in order ...

A LES institution.

5/6/2008 8:57:32 PM -07:00

Orchard Street is home to the Tenement Museum and lots of cheap stores, but its main claim to fame is the one and only Guss's Pickles. Pickle making used to be a big industry in the area when it had not gentrified and there were still thousands and thousands of Jews living nearby. That aspect of the...

Music Capital of NYC

Ok, the title might be a little full of hyperbole, but take my advice and head down to Ludlow anyway if you want to see a music concert. There is not just one but three great venues in the area.

Speaking as a resident of the Upper West Side, Amsterdam Avenue is a great place to go to eat at a nice restaurant and feel relaxed while doing it.

Not what it's made out to be.

5/6/2008 1:39:40 PM -07:00

Times Square is all around overrated. The true attraction of modern Broadway, the theaters, has been overshadowed by the gaudy and annoying electronic signs on every inch of wall surface in the area. The signs must burn at least as much electricity staying on as the rest of Manhattan. The only busin...

Come if you're a tourist, but avoid until the summer.

5/6/2008 12:58:28 PM -07:00

The most solid advice to give on South Street is to come if you're a tourist, but avoid it until the summer. South Street is now mostly a mall without any real attractions - the main dining spot in the area is, after all, a Pizzeria Uno. Not exactly classic New York right there. So wait for the summ...

Of course, Riverside Drive, for the most part, is never going to have its views taken away by people building high buildings across the street, since across the street is Riverside Park and the Hudson River and a great view of New Jersey.

West End Avenue is a residential street, plain and simple. There are few businesses on it - in fact, if one were to travel from W 72nd St all the way up to W 96th St along WEA, they would not encounter a single business.

It almost has a touch of Vegas, with all of the neon and what-not, but it also has theatres for a great experience. So you can experience it all, ...

The center avenue of new york

5/1/2008 2:30:51 PM -07:00

Starting at historic Washington square park, fifth avenue runs up along the east side of manhattan's central park. This is probably the most popular avenue in manhattan because so many of The city's fine museums are found along the upper east portion of fifth avenue. It is also known for expensi...

Great bar for a good place

5/1/2008 2:24:15 PM -07:00

In my opinion, the only real place worth visiting is the Telephone bar. It is one of my first memories of New York City, and it was a good experience. It's a real throwback to London, which is where I spent some of my youth. It was a shot of nastalgia, which only added to the great atmosphere. A mus...

Korean Haven in the Heart of Midtown

5/1/2008 2:23:05 PM -07:00

If you are somehow stuck near Macy's in Midtown and can't find any place to eat...make sure to head over to Korea Town at East 32nd st near the La Quinta Hotel. The Korean food is to die for and there is something for all tastes...high to low. There is also good karaoke if you move up towards the ti...

Korean Haven in the Heart of Midtown

5/1/2008 2:21:22 PM -07:00

Hectic tourist trap

5/1/2008 2:17:01 PM -07:00

Once a haven for degenerates and still a haven for degenerates of a different kind, Times Square is chock full of business men and tourists. The bright lights have overshadowed the strip joints and the area is New York's very own disneyland. The food is horribly mainstream, overpriced and unhealth...

Museums Museums, everywhere!

5/1/2008 2:15:28 PM -07:00

If you like museums, or learning, or a combination of those two, this is perfect for you. The entire area is beautiful, as this is where most of the ambassadors live. Go to the Metro museum, or any of the other several ones for a great learning experience. Enjoy the scenes and knowledge you're going...

From Church to Seinfeld

5/1/2008 2:10:32 PM -07:00

On one side of the street, you can be in 'heaven', so to speak. St. John's cathedral is located here, which is great if you've never seen a cathedral before. Go down to the other end of the street, and take a quick visit to Tom's Restaurant, immortilized in the amazing show called Seinfeld. Of cours...

Vibrant city center - a great place for film

5/1/2008 2:10:01 PM -07:00

With both IFC Center and Film Forum nearby, West forth street is a great haven for cinema buff's. It is a great place for a date night. Good restauraunts like Red Bamboo, Vegetarian's Paradise, and Gobo are in the immediate vicinity. Lots of nice pubs...and of course the films!! Neighborhood is ...

Hot topic meets cheap Japanese

5/1/2008 2:06:35 PM -07:00

St Marks is definitely overwrought with cheesy punk decor and teenager clientèle, but it is still a good place to find cheap japanese food. You will also find any film you could possibly think of renting at Mondo Kim's...and St Mark's bookstore is right around the corner. Jas Mart is a tiny little...

A "hip" place to shop

5/1/2008 2:05:26 PM -07:00

Each time that I have visited the Union Square area, I can't help but think it's where all the 'hipsters' decided would be a cool place to hang out. But beyond that simple observation, this a great place to shop. My personal favorite, Virgin MegaRecords has a location here, as well as several shoe s...

Lingering Renaissance on Stanton

5/1/2008 2:03:05 PM -07:00

In the neighborhood of Stanton St you will find a safe haven at Bluestockings Books, a radical coffee shop and activist center at the crosstreet of stanton and allen. Nextdoor there is good vegan eating at Tien Garden and a bit further down there is a good vegan shoe store. Lots of bikers and youn...

A pleasing walk through the park

5/1/2008 2:01:40 PM -07:00

Beautiful park to your left, and college atmosphere to your right. What's not to like? Musicians are scattered across the grass, providing nice background noise for a romantic walk through the park. This park seems to be less crowded than the rest, so it is usually a great destination for taking any...

Crunchy East Village hipster hang out

5/1/2008 1:59:05 PM -07:00

Avenue is great for overpriced vintage shopping. Theres cobblestones, fabulous fannies and others. Theres also a yummy vegan restaurant called Kate's joint that is popular with the young NYU types. In the neighborhood is Anthology film archives, Two Boots Pizza and video, and Heather's Bar. All ...

An overall GREAT experience

5/1/2008 1:57:00 PM -07:00

This was the first place my brother took me when I first visited him. It left an awesome taste in my mouth, and I would love to come back to it one day. The cafes, coffee shops, and restauraunts are AMAZING, and are always humming with business. The music, book, and misc. stores are a great touch, a...

Great place for the underground!

5/1/2008 1:51:46 PM -07:00

And by underground, I mean underground movies. If you're a fan of indie or foreign films, this is your dream come true. When I visited my brother, I had never actually seen a foreign film. This started, and cemented, my love for the non-hollywood films. They're great, possibly romantic, and always a...

The must-see area

5/1/2008 1:45:07 PM -07:00

This is usually the number one on any tourists guide. Why? Pretty simple actually, it's a straight ferry shot to Ellis Island and of course the Statue of Liberty. In New York City, nothing is worth seeing more than the Statue of Liberty. The entire area is beautiful, and is great for families and an...

Active place for the overly hipster, young, and often rich.

5/1/2008 1:44:26 PM -07:00

Ludlow St is frequented by young hipsters who pay too much on vintage clothing. Everyone seems to be a parody of themselves in this neighborhood. You may run into a celebrity or two at local music venue, bar, and snack shop CAKE SHOP. I saw James Iha and Steve Buscemi there once. A loud and vibr...

My favorite place to be in NYC

5/1/2008 1:39:13 PM -07:00

Wall street is by far my favorite place in New York City. Business has always fascinated me, so naturally what is seen as the business street of the world. The area has an upbeat pace, lots of quick places to get a quick bite or a quick coffee. Nothing really stands out, except the obvious excess of...

Diverse and lovely

5/1/2008 1:30:35 PM -07:00

Columbus Avenue is an extremely diverse road, with what seems like a new personality every block. One block might be a center for overlypriced clothing and random items, while another might be a genuinely diverse neighborhood. Great places to eat line almost every block. It's a great street overall,...

Get your cheap clothing here

5/1/2008 1:17:29 PM -07:00

Talk about busy. It's always crowded, but that comes with the territory of having cheap items on every street corner. China Town is a great place to pick up some cheap knock-offs, and are always available. There are great places left and right to spend some time (and of course money). Always a great...

Still a Great Bargain

5/1/2008 11:35:09 AM -07:00

Canal Street is like a lot of streets in New York and has a number of different faces. Of course there is Chinatown, where you can of course get great bargains even if a good majority of what they sell is knockoffs, fakes and illegal. Lots of good Chinese food of course, both in restaurants and Chin...

Quiet on One End, Lively on the Other

5/1/2008 11:01:44 AM -07:00

On one end 112th Street has the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the most beautiful Episcopal cathedral, worth a morning's visit just for the vastness and artwork of it. There are a lot of nice old brownstone type buildings as you go further west and at the corner of Broadway of course there is T...

Kind of a Yuppie Fantasy

5/1/2008 10:49:45 AM -07:00

Well parts of Columbus Avenue, in the 60s through the 80s, might be what you're dreaming of if you want to take a Sex and the City trip to New York, but really it's more than that, like almost every street in New York. It's really more than just one group of people that make it what it is. From Linc...

Business Attire Recommended, Not Required

5/1/2008 10:48:41 AM -07:00

Not really, but if you get your kicks seeing people in business attire, this is where you wanna be! Take a tour at the NYSE, or just throw your money away there. There's mediocre museums in the area. And quick food for people on a businessy schedule. For some financial inspiration, check out the...

Worthwhile Tourist Trap

5/1/2008 10:44:49 AM -07:00

Sure, they try to get you every which way, but a trip to Whitehall St/South Ferry is essential for all tourists. The Battery Park area is gorgeous, especially with recent renovations and additions. Taking the ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty is a must-do for tourists. And worth one...

T.R.E.N.D.Y. Houston, the Division between NoHo and SoHo

5/1/2008 10:40:26 AM -07:00

As you walk down W. Houston, you can't help but be struck by how trendy all establishments are. And they're usually good. The Angelika is a great movie theater of Mercer and Hudson, showing independent and foreign features. Excellent vibe, but suffers from its close proximity to a subway line. A...

Handbags and Buses

5/1/2008 10:37:07 AM -07:00

Anytime an outoftowner talks to me about Canal Street, they're talking about handbags, and apparently it's great for them. Though a bit secretive, they're cheap and plentiful. Also fake, minor detail. Many of the Chinatown to Chinatown buses leave from Canal Street or close by. By far the best c...

Home of Good Environments

5/1/2008 10:33:03 AM -07:00

Mercer Street is the home of some really great establishments, with great environments. The cheap Japanese cafe Dojo is a must-visit. Also, think Coffee is my favorite coffee joint in the entire city. Although there is plenty of seating, it fills up regularly. Independent bookstores and music st...

University Street Vibrant with Activity

5/1/2008 10:30:15 AM -07:00

In 2008, the majority of the park is undergoing renovation due to a (unnecessary) move of the fountain. However, the musicians, activists, and park lovers are all out on the park side of the street. The south side of the street bustles with NYU students going in between the student center, library,...

Fun Times at Tourist Spot

5/1/2008 10:26:53 AM -07:00

Union Square South is where all the cool kids (and artisans) are hanging out on the north (park) side. It’s also where you can find Whole Foods, the Virgin MegaStore, and DSW, and Shoe Mania. So there is some definite good shopping to be done, if you need shoes or some good organic or specialty gr...

Walk Down Museum Row

5/1/2008 10:09:37 AM -07:00

Museum Row, home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Frick, among others is a nice stretch of Central Park E that is a busier walk, but features the houses of many international ambassadors (i.e. it's kind of beautiful). Close to the entrance to the Central Park Zoo and the b...

Beautiful Parkside Walk

5/1/2008 10:06:46 AM -07:00

Though the street is home to the Museum of Natural History and the New York Historical Society, the biggest draw to Central Park West is the park itself. The street runs right by Strawberry Fields, the tribute to John Lennon right across from the Dakota. It is an especially homey walk, filled with...

Walk Along the Hudson

5/1/2008 10:04:38 AM -07:00

Walking along the Hudson is a requisite for any warm New York visit. Though the view is only of Jersey, it's beautiful. The piers are gorgeous in the day. The Chelsea Piers are one of Manhattan's few places for outdoor and largescale indoor sports. Romantic walking and ideal conditions for joggi...

You should really just walk in the park

5/1/2008 9:33:30 AM -07:00

The south side of Central Park is full of over-priced restaurants and high-class high-volume stores. At the eastern end of the street, the Apple Store is essential visiting. As is FAO Schwarz, though both are prettier than they are good values. The hotels are gorgeous but pricy. The west end's C...

On the East Village section

5/1/2008 9:29:54 AM -07:00

Second avenue in the East Village is home of a gathering of fun places. The two big highlights are Telephone Bar (featuring London style telephone booths at the gate) and Pommes-Frites, Belgian-style fries with delicious sauces. The prices for the fries are high, but the happiness one gets from th...

May Induce Seizures

5/1/2008 9:22:31 AM -07:00

Theater Row is flashy, splashy, and not for the faint at heart. Push your way through the tourists posing for their neon light requisite photos and coming out of their theater shows. The stores are over-priced. The theater for the most part is sub par spectacle. The lights are nauseating. Not t...

Gayest Street this Side of the Mississippi

5/1/2008 8:48:42 AM -07:00

The gayness of this street is infectious. Male-dominated Pieces is a great dive bar for the twenty-something crowd (though it does feature karaoke on a few nights...). Monster and Stonewall are for the middle-aged crowd. The Oscar Wilde bookstore has a great selection of LGBT print media. Duplex...

Hipster Hangouts, Yuppie Restos, and Tompkins Sqaure Park

5/1/2008 8:41:44 AM -07:00

The Pyramid Club, home of Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Pepper's first NYC shows is now a dive bar that spices it up with late night 80's dance parties. The restaurants all look delightful from the outside and in. And Tompkins Square Park provides a nice venue for a break from the work day or an after...

Little Brazil is Just That -- Little

5/1/2008 8:34:06 AM -07:00

Little Brazil, W 46th Street, is a collection of Brazilian restaurants and hangouts. The food is good, but nothing stands out on the street. The green and yellow flags get drowned out by the midtown office buildings that dominate. The potential of vibrancy and flavor implied by the moniker is muf...

Bars and Cheap Food

5/1/2008 8:24:47 AM -07:00

The food on MacDougal is good and cheap. And so are the bars. Mahmoun's is the place to go for falafel. The comedy bars here are a good alternative to the Times Square fare (including a disparity in annoying advertisers). For a chill place to hang out and wax philosophic and great coffee, check ...

Hipster Freaks and Japanese Food

5/1/2008 8:18:37 AM -07:00

The people watching is good on St. Mark's as the hipsters flock to get CDs, DVDs, and everything media at Kim's. The street is lined with great Japanese restaurants, not all of which cater to the casual consumer of Japanese food. Mahmoun's also has a falafel place here, a bit bigger than their Mac...

The Pre-Theater Crowd Needs to Know

5/1/2008 8:14:25 AM -07:00

Out of town tourists may go to the restaurants that remind them of home in Time Square or once-in-a-lifetime experiences at tourist traps like Bubba Gump and Planet Hollywood, but they're missing out on the great food and fun they can find on 9th Ave in Hell's Kitchen (West Midtown). Great food esp...

Food, Fun, and Brits

5/1/2008 8:00:33 AM -07:00

Walking down Greenwich Avenue in the West Village exposes you to some of the greatest restaurants NYC has to offer, all under the radar. Maracas does a great, young brunch, $20 with tax & tip for meal and free unlimited brunch drinks. The older crowd can get their kicks at Elephant & Castle, which...

Not What It Used To Be But OK

5/1/2008 7:44:38 AM -07:00

West 110th Street, as recently as just 5 years ago, had a lot of comfy feelings to it; there was a great family-owned market that has since closed, a marvelous Chinese (proper Chinese, not discount) restaurant on the corner of Broadway, smaller stores (there was a wonderful bagel place next to the C...

Remember - Broadway Isn't Just Times Square

5/1/2008 7:19:42 AM -07:00

Try to keep in mind when you visit Broadway how very long it is. Also give some thought to visiting parts of the street that are not in Times Square! There's more to this incredible avenue than overpriced Disney themed stores. As a tourist you might gasp at the prices for your meals or souvenirs, bu...

A Great Place - Overpriced by Realtors but Great Nonetheless.

5/1/2008 4:49:22 AM -07:00

At the corner is the newly developed place that we used to call The Castle, originally a cancer hospital, now apartments etc., which stood empty for 30 years and began to look like a horror movie set, but all spiffy and expensive now. There is a little hostel/hotel close to it. No very high building...

Greenwich avenue - the ultimate eating spree !!

5/1/2008 3:52:43 AM -07:00

Greenwich avenue is the most trendiest of the street that i have visited in New York. Greenwich avenue is composed of many restaurants and hotels which adds to the glamor of this place. Also there are many book stores where you can find the most comprehensive collection of books an magazines pertain...

Lively, A Bit Noisy, Lots To See

5/1/2008 3:44:13 AM -07:00

I'm going to focus on Amsterdam Avenue between about 95th to 109th Street since that is where I lived. It's a very ethnically diverse neighborhood. Older buildings. Visit the Ayurveda Cafe at 94th Street for a wonderful vegetarian Indian menu. The American Youth Hostel building is at 104th Street. A...

great place in New York- The Washington street !!

5/1/2008 3:35:29 AM -07:00

Washington street is considered as one of the best streets as far as night life is concerned. Washington steer is house of some of the best bars of the city, you get the most exotic and most mesmerizing drinks in the city. It is the best place in New York for party-goers.

Very pleasant residential street

5/1/2008 3:29:31 AM -07:00

Seaman Avenue has a lot of older apartment buildings, none of which are very high; high ceilings and larger sized rooms than a lot of newer NYC buildings. Very close to Inwood Hill Park, which is a pleasant park with a lot of amenities (and dog runs!), make it a good destination. Not generally a com...
