Bueller's Day Off...
Get a fancy car, pick up your friends, drive to the city, park your car (leave a swanky tip), tour the city and visit a sky deck to look down on the city, have lunch at a fancy restaurant (pretend you are someone famous), go to a baseball game, then to the art gallery (get as many selfies of you and your friends standing around), go to a parade (and/or karaoke bar to perform the Wayne Newton's cover of "Danke Schoen" and/or the Beatles' "Twist and Shout"). spend rest of day chilling out in front of a pool, bring back car.- Wrong city, but fun plan.monospaced
- Chicago, New York its practically all the same.omg
- Not even close, but cute comparisonmonospaced
- Ditching school and going to an art museum with a hot girl isn't a bad idea but ditch the dorky friend.CyBrainX

havent been before.. 1 week is mainly as flying all that way for anything less is a waste of a flight.
will have wifey, 4.5 year old and baby in tow.. so.. late night boozing probably aint on the cards.

there is way more sh*t in the streets, and crappy smells compared to Berlin...sted - it's not that dirty heremonospaced

Street art in Bushwick / "East Williamsburg"
Kinda similar to Kreuzberg.

Leave the city and find a nice, peaceful place to stay. I personally love Candlewood Lake, but there are plenty of places on the water.
Taking a 4.5 year old around NY would a huge pain, imho. Just finding a bathroom, etc., is a challenge. It's just dirty, smelly and far from "safe".
Can you pay for cab rides everywhere? Otherwise taking the subway with a little kid would be a hassle (imho).
- far from safe? no it's not! NYC is incredibly safe compared to many large cities, and it's not dirty/smelly unless you're in some far-off slum outside the citymonospaced
- abord mission auto. don't come to NYbklyndroobeki

anyone been to Brushstroke (Japanese spot)? Hear it's good.
- Walk by it everyday on my way to/from work. Have yet to give it a try.duckseason
- I recently went to Takashi in the West Village. That was pretty good.instrmntl
