All the NYC-Chic Girls...

My brother & sister in law are coming up in May- their first time in NYC!!! We're so psyched! They are young (28 & 21) and we want to do some really great but 'NYC' things with them...

here are my thoughts- and please add, OK?

Yankee Game w. a ride on the Yankee Clipper to get there on the river.

Dinner in Little Italy (La Mela's with a bunch of friends)

Drinks at Tao

Dinner at Great Jones Cafe

Live music on Bleecker Street

See De La Guarda or Stomp

I'm from out of town as well..we try to make it to the Today show taping when we visit. It's a lot of fun!

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

I told DH about the Today show thing (since I watch it every morning) but I don't know if we can wake up that early

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

What about a taping of The Late Show or the Daily Show?

Avenue Q is a great funny show.

Well, I'm not too chic, but...

Dinner (or dim sum) in Chinatown! My favorite for dinner is Sun Lok Kee (on Pell, I think). Great food but you have to sit at a table with other folks (just a warning).

A walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to B'klyn Heights.

Blue Man Group (if the show's still open!)

A stroll around the old West Village... all the weird, crooked streets.

I'll probably think of more...

I love La Mela, you should have a great time there.

What about central park?????
Definitely de la guarda over stomp.

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

What about taking in a Broadway show? You can always get same day tickets at the booth on 48th and B'dway.

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

Soho is another great place to visit (if it hasn't been mentioned). A lot of really great shops. Also try the Meatpacking District, there a some great night spots over there.

I'm from here and I still like to do those things! Esp. the W. Village walks...FH hates window shopping. Once the weather picks up I'm going to do that again.

Also maybe see about going to MoMA Queens? Museum of Nat'l History or M. of Modern Art?

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

these are all great ideas! I used to go to Sun Lok Kee on Mott- are you talking of a different one?

I don't live in NY anymore, but you can't go to NY and not go to a show.

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

Yes! Have to see a show! Unless they're not show types... If anything, I think it's actually best to go to a Sat. afternoon show, and go out to dinner and some sort of bar after that. Weekend night shows are really booked.

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

All of the ideas are great so far - what about

-taking them to Suede or Eugene or champagne at Flute
- Someone mentioned Avenue Q but I've heard Wicked is good too.
- I was just reading about Movieaoke - like karoake but you act out lines from movies
- any museum
- Bronx Zoo
-window shopping on 5th

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

definetly go to Grimaldis in Brooklyn for pizza- right near the River Cafe underneath the Brooklyn Bridge.

Awesome pizza and a great spot to take pics

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

I LOVE Grimaldis- the BEST pizza- we are DEF going to walk across the b-bridge and have pizza.

Maybe take them to Pastis? Artisnal for a cheese flight?

oye- the choices!!!

Oops, I meant Mott St. Couldn't remember exactly which street it's on!

Thought of another: walk around Chelsea and stop by all the little art galleries there. Some very interesting and quirky stuff!

Re: All the NYC-Chic Girls...

That Sun Lok Kee Was my fav restuarant- but it's closed now :(

I had been going there since I was 7 years old- all the waiters/owners knew us- so sad

my DH HATES china town though- too dirty for him..
