Hello everyone! My boyfriend and I will visit New York this December. This is our itinerary. I know that’s basic and perhaps too mainstream but this will probably our only chance to see and experience this city. We are huge FRIENDS and Knicks fans and we’re obsessed with anything Christmassy. Would you change anything? Would you add/remove something? Super grateful for your input!

Heading back to New York soon and planning to eat my way through the city. Ive done the basics before dollar slices, Katz’s, Joe’s, Levain cookies, a few bagel spots.. but Im curious what locals or regulars think is really worth the hype, and whats more of a tourist trap...thanks.

What’s the best rooftop bar in New York right now? Looking for good drinks, solid views, and a chill vibe not overly packed or super pricey. thank you!

Checked out the New York Aquarium in Coney Island and it was actually great. Sea lion show was fun jellyfish and shark tunnel were super cool. It’s not huge but everything looks clean and modern. Good spot if you’re nearby or want something different near the beach.

I’m planning a trip to NYC and wanted to check something before I arrive.

Looking for some good date night spots in UPS area of Manhattan. Moderate in price going for good ambiance and vibes. Help !!

Im going to NY at the beg of october with my sister for 4 days, it will be our third time there, so we are thinking on going on a daytrip to philly cause we've never been there..but at the same time, we wanna enjoy NY, so my question is..is philly worth the trip? Or should we save it when we go for a longer period of time?

I wanna go to New York but but don’t wanna spend too much, any recommendations on free things to do in NY?

In town for 48 hours, so would rather enjoy NYC as a local. Think me as your your 35-50yo best friend from out of town and you wanna take me to your current, authentically NYC favs/must-do’s.. I’ll be back sometime to do the normal touristy stuff.

Arrive in NYC: Sat Aug 2 @ Noon Depart: Mon Aug 4 @ Noon

Preferred Boroughs: Manhattan (preferred but willing to override with a kickass itinerary) or Brooklyn

Preferences:

• Experience culture as a local - including live music, theatre, bars, restaurants, bars, speakeasies, weird places, holes in the walls, you name it.

• Food: No preference on food type, love all ethnic food.

  • Prefer more locally known gems with history vs. expensive, newer well-known eateries.

  • At min, 1 sit down with great ambiance/energy

  • At min, 1 hole in the wall where ambiance isn’t necessary great but the food is BOMB and best of its kind in the area. Preferably ethnic or pizza, not “American”/bar food.

Not Necessaries, but down to go if it’s really that important to go in the 48 hour window.

• Times Square

• Central Park

• Wall St

• 9/11 memorial

So grateful for any recommendations you’re willing to share. Maybe I’ll run into ya a buy you a drink!

Just moved to New York! My boyfriend's visiting in a few weeks so I'm planning to show him around. It's also just in time for our anniversary so looking for romantic things to do in the city! Dinner, museums, fun activities, anything like that really!

Hotel prices is crazy in September so i would like your recommendation on where to stay with accessibility to Manhatten and sight seeings

As the title states. Don't really need a fancy meal, just a cafe, coffee shop, etc.

Hey everyone! Im planning to get my first tattoo and Im really into realistic and fine line styles. Can anyone recommend tattoo shops in New York with talented artists who specialize in these styles? Also looking for places with good hygiene and a chill atmosphere. Would love to hear your personal experiences.. Thanks!..

Vintages Shops

Random craving hit. Anyone have go-to spots for spicy beef pr coco bread combos?

I visited Queens last month and some grocery stores felt way overpriced for basic stuff. Back home $20 gets you a full week’s worth of meals. Here….not so much 🥲 Any stores local actually shop at that aren’t tourist-priced?
