If you're really into exotic meats, also try the kangaroo at Public in Nolita.

OMFG I WANT TO EAT A KANGEROO. How much does it cost?

Public is not too expensive. Probably around $75-100/head dinner and drinks. Kangaroo meat is very good. It's beefy, with a slightly gamey taste. Very tasty. I haven't gone in a while, but I'd definitely go again.

I have no idea what that means. All I know is OMFG I WANT TO EAT A KANGEROO.


No one owns a kangeroo.

I suggest going to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (improv comedy) on Sunday. Assssscat 3000 is an awesome show. UCB Theater home

Evan: I had kangaroo in Australia. It tasted like a leaner variety of beef, so it's generally cooked less. I loved it, it went great in stir-fries.

If you are in NY, have a pizza. I know you may think why did I come all this way to have pizza, but in NY or Chicago, it's worth it.

just down the road on the other side from CBGBs is the Bowery Poetry room. Go there on a monday night to see Bingo Gazingo and open mic comedy/poets/music and all.

Only place I've seen a bison steak in NYC is at Brasserie Julien on the Upper East Side. The beef prime rib was better. And you can get better prime rib at many other steakhouses in NYC. So I'd only go there if you absolutely must have bison. If you're really into exotic meats, also try the kangaroo at Public in Nolita.

I think the last time I was in NYC I had a bison steak somewhere on the Upper West Side. It was five years ago though.

Might give kangaroo a shot.

Yeah, I'll probably check out Don Hill's and also Duff's Brooklyn.

Those improvisation evenings sound good too.

Thanks for all replies. I'm still open for more suggestions.

Last time I had great time in some big arcade. Especially playing the moving chair version of my C-64 favourite Beach Head was a blast.
