Things to do in New York

[monkeyboy]

Going to NY next week, does anyone have any non-violent recommendations for things to do in the evenings

empire state building and statue of liberty is a must (take the audio tours)

u could go visit ground zero...but a bit depressing

good place for dinner is Little Italy

check out timesquare on a saturday night...

catch a show on broadway (but i suppose u can do that in the westend)

I wouldn't visit the world trade centre, the view isn't what it used to be

[Lockhouse]

Do the Circle Line boat tour around Manhattan.

Don't spend too long in the touristy mid-town areas - the best areas are Lower West Side, Meatpackers District and TriBecA.

best laugh is go to happy hour anywhere and get leathered on margaritas and then go to the Loews cinema in times sq and watch everyone shout back at the screen.

You could try out a trip to the Marriott revolving restaurant (Times Square)...a bit pricey but the food was excellent, was only there in January 2007. And the views are obviously interesting. You can book online if you do a google search.

A broadway show would be worth a look in...

When I went last year we also went on an evening dining-cruise which took you past/around the statue of Liberty etc...again, a bit pricey but a good evening. Think it's called World Yacht Cruise if you google it...

Enjoy!

Best view of Manhattan is from Brooklyn Heights.

I lived there for four years so got a pretty good idea of the options - give me some idea of the kind of things you like to do and I'll give you some ideas of where to do them, or similar things you may like - there is so much variety that you could spend four years doing stuff and come nowehere near close (I know I did) to exploring them all.

John's Pizzeria near Times Square. Best I've ever had.
