New York City Thread #2

[JRinNYC]

I'm just glad Grey's Papaya reopened on 8th Avenue near the Arbys and bus terminal. Best hot dogs in NYC hands down.

Growing up on the UES, was fond of Papaya King, though Grey's recession special when it was under $2.00 was hard to pass up.

Need to change up the routine for tonight's game... is there a viewing party at any bars for game 4? Hudson station hosted game 2 I think, haven't seen any since.

Pretty sure Hudson Station is basically one large viewing party for every Rangers game.

best pregame bar?

Dad and I luckily got some tickets from a friend for Saturday - we are from outside the area and looking for a good Rangers bar to pregame at around 5-6ish. I've heard of hudson station - any others?

I personally will be going to Local Cafe. Huge outdoor space, reasonable prices. Plus, a lot closer than Hudson Station, albeit their food is sub par.

So I am going to be in town at a conference from 5/5 to 5/9.
I will be staying @ 40th & 9th near the Javitts Center.

Any suggestions on nighttime entertainment (I am single bachelor early 30s), places to eat, sights to see?

Spent a night at the bars and izakayas on St. Marks. Best pizza is Joe's on Bleeker. Best burger is the off-menu bar burger at Raoul's on Prince (get there at 5pm, they serve only 12 per night).

Also available for sit down in more quantities at brunch on the weekend. Probably my second favorite burger in NYC behind the black label at Minetta.

I know I am late to the party on this one, but for future reference there are plenty of bars around MSG that will have a pre-game crowd. Off the top of my head, places I have been to in the past year or so:

Feile-32nd between 6th and 7th
Jack Doyles-36th or 37th between 7th and 8th
Triple Crown-7th Ave between 27th and 28th?
The Flying Puck 7th Ave between 30th and 29th?
Harringtons-7th Ave between 30th and 29th
Mustang Harry's 7th Ave between 28th and 29th
Local 33rd between 7th and 8th, closer to 8th.

There are more, just drawing a blank at moment.

If you're looking for a place to watch the Rangers, the Flying Puck and Hudson Station near MSG are great spots.

But can get awfully crowded.

 

[Fugazy]

Yes they can, more so the Flying Puck. Hudson Station wasn't too bad the few times I'v been there. But they are really good atmospheres to watch the games.

I don't want to be a jerk here but posts like this drive me crazy. Come on—it's New York City. This city has everything. What do you like to do for nighttime entertainment? Is money an object? If you do anything what would it be?

-Nightime entertainment nearby for a single dude.

There is soo much in NY this is the reason to ask.

For meals; I'm allergic to dairy.
I prefer shelldish, seafood, chicken, and love froyo places.

Wanted to check out Chealsea Piers, Wall Street, & the bridge.

Chelsea Piers is nothing special. Not sure how close you can get the NYSE these days. Which bridge?

you can walk right up to NYSE but don't know if they have inside tours anymore. If you want free entertainment check out central booking on centre street and watch the parade pf perps getting pleaded in

 

[rkhum]

Is Rangertown worth seeing the game at?

Define "right up to." There's a gate about 50 feet away on Exchange Place and probably about 20 on Wall Street. They also do not have tours, IIRC.

Be sure to check out my favorite pizza joint, Sbarro and a few of my favorite NY joints, Bubba Gum shrimp and Red Lobster.

dude, you are crazy - you are seriously missing out by not going to Olive Garden and starbucks

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Say what you want but Starbucks makes great seasonal hot drinks...

Just saw his tweets about Sbarro and Red Lobster
We're both copying Michael Scott it seems.
