I've been to NYC once, and there's a bunch of places I'd rather go to first before going back to the city again (no offense). Plus, it'd probably be easier for me to fly out St. Louis than Chicago. That's a five hour drive.mings wrote:Or you could just hop a cheap flight out of Chi-town and spend a rad weekend in the City. I know a great tropical themed bar in the City.Ilph wrote:Thanks.

Ok. fly out of St Louis. My friend goes back home to there often and finds cheap flights fairly often. The last time you were in New York, did you visit and do the touristy stuff or did you hang out with people you knew? The city can be very imposing (and therefore un-fun) for tourists on their own.Ilph wrote:I've been to NYC once, and there's a bunch of places I'd rather go to first before going back to the city again (no offense).

A guy I knew lived in Jersey, and he showed us around to a bunch of stuff. Empire state building, Statue of Liberty cruise (it was two months after 9/11 and still closed), Les Miserables, Times Square, the harbor, Wall Street, etc.mings wrote:Ok. fly out of St Louis.

ok. So this time you're ready for your real visit to NYC. Those tourist places are ok, but they're just that - tourist traps. You need to experience the City like those who live in it. Wake up, grab brunch or a bagel. Check out a street fare in the village. spend the day, just chillilng in different neighborhoods, window shopping or people watching. Tons of good - off the beaten path - places for grub. Then spend the night at a few bars and hop around until it's time to close the eyes for a few hours and do it all over again.Ilph wrote:A guy I knew lived in Jersey, and he showed us around to a bunch of stuff.
