Default Visiting New York City 6/5 - 6/8 and need advice

I’ve been to New York a handful of times but I’ve always stayed at my cousin’s apartment in Manhattan. I am planning a trip for my best friend’s graduation and birthday weekend. I need a room which can accommodate 4 guys for Thursday – Sunday. If you guys have any recommendations on where to go and what hotels are the best all around choices I would appreciate it. I would prefer it to be close to some night life, clean and that’s pretty much it :P. Our trip will consist of some sightseeing during the day, (none of the other 3 have been to NY so I have to show them around as best as I can) and getting as trashed as possible at nights.


Any suggestions my fellow CL Brethren?

wsup Tommy, nice to meet up. if the price is of no concern u should probly stay at the W in times square, in the heart of the city and its always a well lit area so u wont get mugged coming back trashed from the bar scene close by either. You should give us a shout when u come thru so we can set up a mini-meet as the CL members of SoCal did for me when I visited LA 2 months ago.

Westin at times square is very nice and as stated a great place to stay.

i am also down with tommy to show you around if my work schedule doesn't conflict. Tommy could be the tour guide... since i'm from PA and all

Strip clubs are where the girls are at lol

Crazy horse in the bronx
Scandals in Queens

Hotel
Staying at the heart of Manhattan is nice but expensive if you guys are renting a car i would tell you to stay in new jersey and drive over to Manhattan is a 5-10 minute ride into the city.

Clubs/ lounge

Bronx "easiest place to get girls
Gameday

Red louge

Mi gente

718

Manhattan
Pacha

China club

Q lounge

On 46th street and 8ave i think theres a whole strip of bars and mini louges that are next to china club

send me a message and i can look up a specific one for ya before the day you come, some places close down and reopen with in weeks

Cabana next to the Meritime hotel on the west side is a nice bar/lounge, especially if its warm out they open up the other outdoor bar.

230 Fifth nice rooftop bar.

Just make sure you're dressed right and don't roll with a sausage party.

thanks for the tips guys,

it looks like we will be staying in an apartment near soho...


184 Prince Street
New York, NY 10012


I think we will most probably stay in Manhattan the whole time, 2 of our friends have never been so we will probably spend a lot of time sight seeing.

That location is ideal.
All the shopping on west broadway and greenich village will keep you busy.

Your apartment is a block from blue ribbon brasserie which has great food and open everyday till 4am (beef marrow is superb)

some other great places within walking distance
Cafe Habana - (excellent corn on the cob)
299 Elizabeth St. walk east on prince till you hit elizabeth

Tomoe Sushi (Small but top notch. expect long lines)
172 Thompson Street (Houston St)

Lombardi's (clam pizza)
32 Spring st.

Raoul's (good french food)
This should be right downstairs from you.

inoteca (truffle egg toast w/ bortagga eggs)
rivington and ludlow LES

Bar pitti (good pasta and celeb hangout)
6th and houston

Bars
hmmmm
Pravda, bar89, Pegu, Tailor, Little Branch

Thats it for now. back to work
bye

I would recommend 230 Fifth Avenue also...Its one of the primer lounge spots in NYC..Although the music can be random at times, this upscale lounge is trendy and has superior view of the city...Great place to bring some ladies to hang out...Off nights are free, Fri-Sat I believe there is a cover charge...But well worth the view and atmosphere...
