Things to do in Manhattan New York
 

I'm aware this is a KC oriented BB but we have many well traveled posters that visit, post regularly and this is the only BB I frequent where the topic fits. My techie and midget porn boards don't take kindly to off-topics.

Been going into Manhattan, NY for six months every Saturday without fail for Krav Maga classes but until this coming weekend my trip has consisted of getting on train, getting dropped off at Penn Station, taking class then taking my usually black and blue ass back home.

This weekend I have company. She's female, somewhat sane and non-duct taped or sedated.

So, with the idea in mind that I'll have a backpack on with sweaty clothes and can't get too fancy because of my luggage what's some things to do in Manhattan?

All I have planned so far is a stop at Katz Diner for famous pastrami sandwich. Give me some ideas.

I'll bump this shamelessly probably one or two more times given the topic.

I'm getting promoted up to orange in class if that means anything (yay me) to you guys.

there The Chip Shop that have 40$ pies it's a English pub. Go to time square check out ground zero. Also go to the fox news building and check out the fox news babes.

Just walking Manhattan can be a good day. Grab a pretzel, pizza slice and Italian Ice from vendors or mom and pop shops.
If you want to go upscale and impress...Del Frisco's (great steakhouse) or Mesa Grill (females dig Bobby Flay).

And yes go to Ground Zero.

Katz is very good, but Carnegie is better.

(mind you, corned beef, not pastrami, is pictured)

Picture 1 is Carnegie, Picture 2 is Katz

I wish I had not wasted 5 hours of my life standing in line to go up in the Statue of Liberty.

Oh, and something the chick might enjoy is walking around Chelsea going in and out of the various galleries.

as a New Yorker, Carnegie is the best sandwich, if you want want to call it that. What exactly are you looking to do? I can give a thousand ideas....

I have no idea where/what Dorsia is but if you're going to be in the area I'm done with my shit at 11:30, shower up by 12 and train leaves at 7pm. If you're going to be in the area **** yeah dude get a hold of me. I'll be mad if you don't.

You have my contact info.

Just got recommended here as well. I'll add it for future reference:

If you are by Times square...stop in at Jimmy's corner tavern on w 44th between 6th and 7th. it's owned by legendary boxing cut man Jimmy Glenn. A LOT of boxing nostalgia in the bar and the prices are cheap. a pint of Becks on tap was like $4 when I was there earlier this month.

Booked reservations way in advance hotel right across from statue with telescope in room to look at lady liberty, did the 5 hour line, the security was tougher than airport. My family and I were almost undressed before they told us to hurry before we missed the boat. Get off boat at statue island where I get in another long ass line to go into statue. After a couple hours we finally make our way to front where they ask for more tickets. How many tickets do I freaking need? They inform me I have tickets for the island and for ellis island afterwards, but not to go into the statue. To see the statue I would need separate tickets. Weird anyone would go to the island and not the giant &#$&&^ statue that takes up most of the space. I was mad, but I said ok where do I get them at?
"You have to do it from the mainland and do it way in advance."
I thought I would explode, so I got real huffy and puffy demanding to see someone in charge.
Then some foreign lady park ranger with attitude and not good english comes up and tells me there was nothing I could do and I needed to leave the line. Park rangers run the island, not cops. I told her where only my wife and her could hear that it was BS. She tells me if a curse again the park rangers can take me to a holding cell at the bottom of the statue. Guess there is no freedom of speech around the lady. Part of me thought at least i would be able to see the inside of the freaking statue. Another part of me thought, wow I don't want to be stuck on an island with some power hungry park rangers. So, I told her it was ok, I was friends with Yogi and bobo and I left.
***Moral of story: Statue of Liberty is awesome to see, I loved it, at least the outside of it, just make sure you get both tickets.

I live two blocks from Katz's and used to work next to Carnegie....


KATZ's HANDS DOWN.

great bar. I agree.

hit the east village, lower east side, check out the great restaurants, bars etc... If you wanna see the statue of liberty... Take THE BEAST... suped up bass boat that hauls ass all over the east river and hudson blaring arena rock... it is hilarious and fun.

Just ride the Staten Island ferry. It goes right past Liberty Island and it's free. Plus it's neat to ride on a big boat like that if you don't do it often. I wouldn't stand in line for five minutes to broil inside that damned thing.

And if you like military history, check out the USS Intrepid. Moored on the west side of Manhattan, it is way cool and has an amazing assortment of warplanes.
