Since we always get a ton of "visting ny....what to do?" threads,
why not have 1 thread (this one) where we all share spots that "tourist" "need" to visit while spending time here in NYC!!!!!

lets keep the whoring to a minimum.

when posting a spot, use the format below:

Name:
Boro:

:heart: BEAUTIFUL MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ (CENTRAL JERSEY SHORE) :heart:

Towns to check out:
RED BANK. Trendy, upscale, lots of shopping and great restaurants. (GSP Exit 109)
PIER VILLAGE. Contrived (recently built) shopping/dining right on the ocean. Clean and trendy. (GSP Exit 105)
ASBURY PARK. Undergoing a rebirth around the Cookman Ave area. Look for trendy yet inexpensive places to eat, art, and a great music scene at the Stone Pony. (GSP Exit 100)
BELMAR. One of the quintessential Jersey Shore towns. More grown up than Seaside Heights or Pt. Pleasant yet there is still a young crowd. Check out the beach by 16th St. for hotties aplenty. Also check out Bar A for the ultimate night spot. (GSP Exit 100/98)

Local Food:
There are TONS of great locally owned restaurants by the shore but these are some of the more popular "quick bite" places you will only find here...
SURF TACO
WINDMILL HOT DOGS
JERSEY MIKE'S SUBS

Scenic/educational:
MT. MITCHILL. For great views of Sandy Hook and the Manhattan skyline. Highest point on the Atlantic Seaboard.
TWIN LIGHTS. Nice lighthouse and maritime museum.
SANDY HOOK. Great beaches and views. Also you can tour the remnants of Fort Hancock, an old military base/proving ground in the early 1900's, and Cold War missile defense sites.

:tipwink:

I need help.
I'm planning a weekend in NYC and I'm looking for the best affordable (under $200.00 a night) hotels in Manhattan.
Any safe location.
It should be clean and bigger than a closet. :)
Boutique hotels are okay too.

Any suggestions?

Hey all! I'll be visiting NYC in May this year! One thing I'd like to do most is watch a game of NBA at the garden!
But it seems so difficult to even get tickets? Is it always like that? Anyone can give me tips and pointers?
I'm coming from Australia and I'd really like to watch a game when I'm there!

It has become VERY difficult since Jeremy Lin. Your best bet right now is www.stubhub.com

Expect to pay 500 and up for a pair of decent seats for a good game against a good opponent. Anything against the Heat, Celtics, Bulls will be a high price ticket.

Yeah I thought as much. I was appalled at the prices for certain sections.
So what game would you recommend watching? Also what sections are decent at the garden? Obviously 107 and 117 must be fantastic seats... But the prices are just astronomical.
$500 to $600 for a pair of seats would be most I'm willing to pay really.

Also I'm after a CR front lip (and other parts as I see fit ;p) and am planning to get one while there. Can anyone point me somewhere?

Mods: I'm going to post here to ask questions about NYC unless you say GTFO.. cheers
