I am going to NY for a week on wednesday, does anyone have any suggestions? not just the usual touristy things but maybe things a bit off the radar

rent a bike and ride down broadway (for touristy vibe) and the west side promenade (pretty views & good if you're scared of traffic). then maybe hit up williamsburg for the brooklyn brewery, brooklyn bowl, barcade, or the levee or something (go across the williamsburg bridge, it's really pretty when you ride over it drunk at night).
ride smart, you're more likely to hit a pedestrian than a car hitting you. http://www.transalt.org/files/ne…

Go to Greenwich Village.
Go anywhere in the East Village.

the cloisters
water taxi around manhattan for $10
eat and drink on the frying pan boat
rent a bike, ride down the west side path to battery park, take your bike on a ferry to governer's island for free
brooklyn bridge park (water taxi makes stops here) and walk around dumbo in brooklyn
asian food in flushing, queens
- was at the frying pan yesterday.bulletfactory
- once your on governer's island, if there's no event going on it's going to be big time boring. http://www.govisland…adqt

- there are a few hidden gems.. most hotels have a rooftop bar..e-pill
- in Korea town, 32nd street, the best western hotel [middle of block] has a nice hidden roof..e-pill

ping pong at spin. http://www.spinyc.com
it can get a little "clubby" and it's a little "insanely over friggin priced" but it's fun.- Go to fat cat in stead. $3 beers, live jazz music all week long, pool tables, ping pong tables, great ambiance (go in weekend if you want it full, but you'll have to wait an hour for a ping pong table)shapish

go walk thru the LES lower east side at night, find any bar, and enjoy your time, then rinse and repeat at the bar across the street and continue this until you cant walk anymore, then find some whore and fuck the night away in your hotel room.
