Been reading a guidebook but haven't really got any ideas yet on stuff we definitely want to do. Booked some tickets to see the Knicks though! Any suggestions on things that are definite 'must dos', and any good tips for food/bars etc. We're staying in Manhattan by Manhattan Bridge/Chinatown. you should try walking through central park late at night, like 1-2 am just hang out in times square for a whole day, theres a lot of cool stuff to do there and great food (awesome red lobster right in the middle of times square) get yourself some cheap I <3 NY shirts in chinatown and be sure to wear them for the duration legit pizza etc edit: jk lemme know if you want restaurant/record shop/other suggestions for things to do. there are free days for many museums in new york, which can be convenient, depending on when exactly you'll be visiting too.

My friend ate at Blue Hill at Stone Barns (michelin star-rated!) and she loved it, but I'm not sure about the in-city location. I mean, I'm sure it's balling out of control, I just don't have any frame of reference.

Guest KY Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I gotta say real quick, though, that people should check out Eataly, Mario Batali's italian restaurant/marketplace. good, fresh pasta dishes, and awesome food stuffs to be purchased. it's affordable and easy to be seated. That, and both Babbo (another Batali joint—I swear I'm not a Batali dickrider) and Bar Americain, Bobby Flay's joint, were both pretty good food. Totally open to provide more poorly-informed suggestions.

I had the seasonal tasting menu. Minca in the East Village is my favorite recommendation right now - amazing fresh ramen. I recommend the spicy miso broth w/wavy wheat noodles and charshu (fatty) pork. I would probably eat this even as a vegetarian.
