im about to head to NY from AUS by myself for a few days just to check the place out and do some shopping. I was supposed to be there with a friend but their plans fell through so i will be alone. Can anyone recommend a cheap place to stay and the areas to do some good shopping. I want to head to alife and the scrap yard and places like that. are there regular NT drinks anywhere to meet other designers?

Teach me actionscripting, and you can stay at my place. I'm serious, as long as I have more info about you.

avoid alife its lame. reade street gallery down the road has some a'ight stuff, i also heard theres some place called rivington something rather that you have to buzz into.... also as mainstream as it may seem the adidas store in soho is pretty tight....

the building where i live has a CityStay program for people to stay in the city for cheapo. Check it out.
Not sure what you have to be to qualify, but it's cheap.

I would check out the mag 'Time Out NYC' when you get there from any number of a 100,000 newstands. There are hostels, cheap hotels, depends on your budget mate.

Me too. I'm heading to NYC the beginning of July. Don't have a clue what I'm going to do there yet.
I'd really like to find some cool spots for nightlife. Bars, clubs, etc. What's hot right now?
- JazX0
no offense fellas, use the dB. Forget Serch, go to FIND at the bottom of this screen type the worlds, NYC or New York, you will find a plethera of info. ;)

Yea, but I want to know what's hot now, not 2 weeks ago. =P
- toastie0
NYC is not 'hot'. It's dirty and muggy, go to New Mexico or something instead.

O.k, since we're being didactic let me re-phrase. . .
I would like to participate in some genuine NYC nightlife where the vibe is good and there is good music.

JazX suggestion is best. depends what you're into, it's a diverse city so pick up a timeout when you get here and you'll know right away what you want to check out.
also, we don't know what's happening when you're here. things happen every night and sometimes we don't know until that week what's up.

cheers.
