What to do in NYC?

[Pete H]

I'm flying to NYC (hopefully the plane will land to Newark as planned) in Saturday. I'll stay a week and don't have much plans in advance.

I'm not interested going to regular tourist traps.

I'm into rock/metal and I'm going to see Mahavatar and Body Count at the Knitting Factory.

Don't have other plans, but might go to Continental or CBGB if there's something interesting.

Any other similar clubs worth checking out?

I like stand up, so I'll probably go to couple of clubs. I'm big Bill Hicks fan and hate Seinfeld type of "comedy".

I only know few bigger names so are there any newer names that I should check out?

I've been in Metropolitan museum but might go again.

Not a big sports fan, so not thanks for a game.

Bison steak(s) is a must, what are better places to have one?

Any suggestions?

Since you are landing in Newark I would stay in Jersey for a couple days and assimilate the culture.

Culture like this?



I actually own a Devils jersey.

It's not accurate yet, but I hope they'll get Miroslav S. in their roster and Bettman gives him a special permission to use a 3 digit number.

Comedy Cellar is a good comedy club in the village, Dave Attel performs there regularly. Nicer than Carolines IMO.

Not really my scene, but my dad is into it so I know a little about these places. From what I've heard CBGB is hardly worth going to anymore for actual hard rock music. Continental is apparently still pretty good. I think i heard it's closing soon, I'm not positive though. I like Knitting Factory.

Someone else mentioned it but I'll second Comedy Cellar.

Probably, but I'm not flying over Atlantic for a bison steak. It's just a bonus as they aren't common in Finland.

I won't go to CBGB unless there's at least one interesting band.

Just noticed that Dillinger Escape Plan and God Forbid are at the Bowery Ballroom 2nd of August, so I'll go there if I get the tickets.

I'll probably skip pizzas and burgers, but I'm from Finland so I'll get drunk everywhere I go. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

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.

For hard rock you should also check out Don Hill's.
