I mentioned Gramacy Tavern because my friend who is a 4 star chef and restaurant owner used to work there and said it is a must when you go to NYC.

I want to go to NYC so badly, right now tickets are going for about $280 after taxes and fees from Oakland Airport... maybe this summer.

mot have you been there before?

What about taking in a good musical? There's lots to see in nyc..

The last time I was there I believe I saw "Cats" and "Hair" both very good and tickets aren't too expensive..

But I hate sandwiches at New York deli's, too much ****in' meat on the sandwich. It's like a cow with a kracker on either side. "What would you like sir?" "A pastrami sandwich." "Anything else?" "Yeah, a loaf of bread and some other people." — Mitch Hedberg.
LMAO ******* is censored! Crackker!

If you like Dim Sum, my new favorite spot is "The Golden Unicorn" in China town. So good. Lunch for 3 came to $26. Awesome goodness.

I'll be there next month at this time. Can't wait, Haven't been since I was 10.

I heard this club cielo was cool. Depends on what kind of music your into though

Some other club/lounges I've heard about: Pegu club/ merkato 55/ m2/ inc lounge/ pink elephant. The good thing is there is a club open like everyday untill 4am.. have fun out there.
