When I went I did the empire state building in the morning to see the city in the daylight and the top of the rock at night to get pictures of empire state and the city lit up.

I get sick of New York in like 2 hours every time I visit.

>>2879843
You can do all of this in a day if you cut out the shitty tourist din dins

Why would you go to Lex and 125th? You trying to get shot?

Not even gonna see sportsball or a Broadway play? Cmon bro!

>>2879843
>Time square, Top of the Rock
OP, please get somebody who lives in New York to help you because half of these places are overrated touristic scams. Go to Queens to get some actual good food.

>>2879843
Times Square 2x might be excessive. Also what's with Bubba Gump? They're a seafood chain all over the U.S. Is this bait?

>>2879985
>Queens
>good food
Como

>>2880006
Queens has incredible food. Only place on earth you can get Jamaican jerk chicken down the street from Chinese Bao and kebanese shawarma

Take a ride on the Staten Island ferry or some other boat just to get out in the harbor and catch some views of Manhattan.
If you’re in lower Manhattan the free Museum of the American Indian is an oasis from all the tourist hustles around Battery Park. It’s in a spectacular old customs house and even if you’re not into native stuff the building is worth it. Nearby Battery Park City is one if the few places in Manhattan where there isn’t a highway by the water and the esplanade is a great walk, with lots of pocket parks, artwork and memorials.
Take a subway out to Coney Island now that the weather is warmer, Get out of Manhattan and see the rest of the city, even if it’s just a short hop to Williamsburg.

>>2880020
I lived in queens for 6 months and i never ate any of that slop nigga

go to one of NYC's famous gay sex parties
not gay? don't worry, there's popular clubs that do tranny nights on tuesdays, fridays, and most saturdays
or you could go to one of those jerk off ones where the guys just jerk it on their lunch breaks

>>2879843
Herald Square Macy's is cool but aside from the parade and all the decorations when it's Christmastime it's still a Macy's.
Eataly is a chain, I'd recommend replacing it with something NY-specific.
Why go to the 9/11 memorial twice?
Horse carriages might not be out depending on when you go, if it's too hot it's considered animal abuse to "operate" them.

Obviously you'll have a lot of free time, so here's some things I'd recommend:
>Museums:
MET, MOMA, the New Museum (now that it's reopened), Guggenheim, MoRUS, Museum of the Moving Image, City Reliquary Museum
>Neighborhoods:
My favorites in Manhattan are East and West Village. Different vibes but they both have a lot of character. There's also Chinatown and the Upper West Side. Avoid Midtown, it looks like shit.
In Brooklyn there's Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Prospect Heights, and Coney Island. Greenwood Cemetery is also worth checking out, it's what inspired Central Park.
Queens is my favorite borough, definitely check out Flushing if nothing else for great Chinese food. Forest Hills and Kew Gardens Hills are very quaint, and Jamaica has sovl.
Staten is basically New Jersey but Historic Richmond Town is kind of nice, if you really want to hit the island. And then the Bronx I have not been to.
>Movie Theaters:
NYC is one of the best cities in the country for film. My favorite is the IFC in West Village, but there's also the Walter Reade Theater and the Film Forum. East Village Angelika is cool, too, for the building. Metrograph has a great selection but the seats are pure ass-pain.
>Shops:
The Strand is the biggest bookstore in the country by volume, I believe. It's open til 9pm so I usually end up there when I'm in the city.
Night Owl Video in Williamsburg is a new video store with a great selection.
Search and Destroy in EV is a legacy punk shop that kicks you out if you take photos of anything. It's cooler on the outside than inside.

Out of character space so that's all you're getting.

>>2880235
>Greenwood Cemetery is also worth checking out, it's what inspired Central Park.
I used to live next to the cemetery and it’s spectacular. Highest point in Brooklyn, old trees and tombs of the robber barons. Nearby Prospect Park is the same without dead people (though there is a hidden Quaker cemetery) and was done by the same guys who did Central Park but with a decade’s experience and no present day Manhattan looming over it. There’s a few sketchy areas to avoid but it’s safe. I realize people don’t go to NYC to hike but if you ever need a break and the surrounding neighborhoods are interesting. The waterfront parks along the East River in Brooklyn also give you that wide open space but you’re steps away from urban stuff.

>>2879843
Ngl the food choices are mid and very touristy unless you’re from Alaska or something. Go on google maps and search the kinda food you like in various neighborhoods you’ll be near at the time. The only reason actual New Yorkers visit Times Square is to mug white dumb white people like you and shoot heroin

You will got mugged and raped by niggers at 125th street. That’s Harlem, nigga. if they see a white boy tourist like you with all your luggage clueless where tf he is they’re gonna crack your ass open, clean it out and glue it shut

>>2880324
When's the last time you've been there? 20 years ago? Crime is a nothingburger in NYC nowadays. All the gangsters are smartphone zombies just like everyone else. Everything is super gentrified

i live in queens. if i were visiting NYC for one week here's what i would do staying in line with what you generally want to do

Monday - walk the brooklyn bridge, 9/11 memorial, WTC museum and viewing floor, statue of liberty tour, bull photo (fucking tourist), US customs house and go inside if its a good exhibit, and get a feel for the financial district and all the old new york alleyways. find a good steakhouse without going to far, there's some great ones around there. if you like Ghostbusters, check out their firehouse

Tuesday - take a train to hudson yards and go up to the edge. afterwards walk the high line south, then check out all the piers and parks on the hudson. get pizza or sandwiches at Mama Too's or cheeseburgers at Hamburger America, hang out in washington square park, the later the better, it turns into a party after 9pm. you're close enough to get dinner in little italy or chinatown if you walk a bit farther

Wednesday - take a train to brooklyn, check out prospect park, williamsburg, coney island, find some good places to eat. this day will be kind of light but it would be a great day to find a good happy hour and get drunk with the locals

Thursday - start at 5th and 59th and explore central park all day. go to the zoo, ride the carousel, go in belvedere castle, walk around the reservoir, get a horse carraige ride, get lost in the ramble, find strawberry fields and ignore the shitty guitarists, go under every arch you can find. if you get to the north side you can explore harlem a little bit, its really not that bad. the apollo theater is pretty run down though.

Friday - start at union square, walk up broadway to herald square, check out macys, do the empire state building, explore midtown a bit, then head up 5th avenue to check out the NY public library, then head east to check out grand central and the chrysler building. plenty of amazing places to eat around there. then head back west to times square, go enjoy your rave

>>2880432
Saturday - go to the matinee, explore hells kitchen after, find some good bar and grill, go to the intrepid museum. another good day to get drunk

Sunday - shopping if you really need to, don't make plans, just do what you want

monday - check out and go home

also i forgot on friday to do rockefeller center when you're walking up 5th. the only thing i would possibly change is on wednesday instead of spending the day in brooklyn to instead do a museum day at the museum of natural history, the Met, and the guggenheim. Moma isn't really that great.

>>2879843
you can do half of that in one day

>>2880440
I am 560lbs and have to use a mobility scooter. Would it still be possible? How scooter friendly is NYC?

>>2880462
I’d say pretty friendly, you should be fine. I see people on scooters all the time, they’re mainly homeless though, lol. The main thing you’ll come across is every block now reeks of skanky weed, whereas it didn’t not too many years ago. It’s all encompassing and can actually make you feel sick to your stomach

>>2880596
That’s lame. If you want to make weed legal, whatever, but why subject everyone else to having to smell it. Didn’t they just bad smoking cigarettes outside? I’d rather smell them than marijuana smoke, esp if my kids are around

fuck all that. take the train up the valley to croton gorge, go to Astoria Seafood in queens. go to a bathouse in Brighton Beach. have a negroni, have two

Depends how may gay clubs you plan to hit up. You’re going to get laid as soon as you get off the plane.

>>2879843
OP your post reads like bait. Lots of stupid slop and bad restaurants, plus a bunch of shit that's far apart if you're not trying to run through it. Why go to Times Square thrice? Why twice at Wall Street and Ground Zero? How much of a pleb are you that you're not listing a single museum or truly historical place?

>>2880235
>definitely check out Flushing
Lmao are you trying to bait him and waste his time? I mean Flushing isn't bad at all but getting there is a pain in the dick and he may as well get Chinese in Chinatown. Besides that and the >Mest it's an ugly residential area really.

>>2882201
>waste his time?
Guy has a week to kill, he can take a 45 minute ride on the 7 train to the biggest Chinatown in America.
It is a very ugly area, yeah, but from there you can walk south to the botanical garden, and then the giant park is right west of that. I think it's a fine stop for Queens.

>>2882150
Seven days sounds good. There's a ton to do in New York, you could spend the whole trip just going to artsy movie theaters or seeing different Broadway shows, so honestly the longer the better. And if you need a break you could always take the train out to Jersey; Princeton is an hour and a half ride from Penn Station :)

Times Square in the daytime is hell, but if you're a night owl, I highly recommend going there around 2am. Closest thing we have to the busy nocturnal public plazas I've seen in Europle

How do I get the Seinfeld experience? I went to New York for a few days when I was younger. I want to see Intrepid but that's about it. People watching is enough entertainment for me.

>>2883581
The one time I was walking in Manhattan at night a manic drug-addled negro got right up in my face shouting gibberish at me for no good reason. It didn't escalate to violence but I got the impression that it very easily could have. NY is teeming with characters like him, and it really put me off.

NYC is a giga-alpha tier global city. It is hugely prominent in cultural terms. Countless movies and tv shows are set there. You can’t really blame anyone for wanting to see it for themselves. Personally, I was a bit disappointed, but at least the itch is scratched and my curiosity satisfied.

>the new WTC tower itself looks like a dull glass box sadly
Compared to literal dull glass boxes? The new WTC is gorgeous. Reminder that the original WTC design was criticized throughout its existence and was thought of as nothing more than a corporate eyesore on the skyline. It wasn't until after they got blown up that New Yorkers pretended to like them as a cultural statement.

While I did not see the original WTC in person, I like Minoru Yamasaki's Century Plaza Towers, which are essentially the WTC but triangular and 800 feet shorter. I like them because the sunlight has a nice quality bouncing off of their anodized aluminum facades. To describe them as "glass boxes" is simply false because those anodized aluminum columns running up their length is what made them unique.

The new WTC is a boring blue glass box. Its like some Vancouver trash on steroids minus the balconies. It is dull, uninspired and the base is ugly as fuck, a tacky assemblage of shitty looking panels, whereas the old lobby was beautiful, tall and let in lots of light through the arched windows. I can find 100 examples of blue glass boxes for every 1 example of WTC style architecture you can find, which comes back to my point about the original towers uniqueness. My dad said they used to reflect the setting sun down the streets like it was daytime, they had a special glow from their METAL facades.

They were indeed a symbol of the city, present in many pieces of media and were even the tallest buildings in the world at one point. They were unique in many ways and vastly superior to boring, smooth glass boxes, but hey to each his own.

The cherry on top of the new WTC for me is the pathetic unfinished spire and its abandoned radome, a disgusting value-engineered disgrace. I dont see how anyone could possibly like the new "spire", especially counting it as building height (lmao!). Tasteless, pathetic, cheap, lazy and insulting.

While the old WTC was iconic, the new one looks like some bullshit that belongs in Calgary or something.

>>2885848
Your post is representative of how people romanticize them in retrospect. If they didn't blow up your dad wouldn't even remember that. They were big, brutalist office buildings. Designed to maximize leasable floor space. Nothing more. They weren't "symbolic" in any way, we just view them that way now because it's novel to see them in old shows and movies. They were just buildings. The "iconic tourist landmark" thing was mostly reserved for the Empire State Building. Why would Seinfeld, a show seemingly so symbolic of NYC, only show them once? And not even in real life? Because they were big office buildings nobody gave a shit about. They weren't special. You should read some of the interviews from around the time they were built. People hated the design and as time went on they just got used to them.

What's funny is that the plaza between them was notorious because it funneled wind and 40-50 mph gusts were pretty common. If that doesn't represent how soulless and modernist they were then I don't know what else does.

Not OP but planning four days in NYC myself
Want to visit Brighton Beach for GTA IV vibes and swim in the ocean there, is it a good idea? Safe? Do I risk having my stuff robbed if I leave it on the beach while I take a dip? Its common to do this in europe and generally turns out alright

As a local tri-stater this itinerary sucks, but I can't give a great perspective either since I've lived around NYC all my life. I'll try to address some of it.

Avoid observation decks, they're a scam. Most of the landmarks are much better as photo ops than as spots to visit since you will be insanely bored.

Times Square is scam central. Take a photo and leave the area before people in Elmo costumes shake you down for money.

Brooklyn has some good small spots to eat that won't rip you off. Eataly or really any chain restaurant in the city is a complete scam.

Death & Co. bar in the East Village is the best bar in the city, hands-down. Go 30 mins before opening to get in. Actually worth the money and wait. Eat beforehand, they don't have a big food selection. The East Village is nice in general, check out the Skyline or Chelsea Market.

Go to a concert, there are dozens of historic venues with concerts happening every night from dive bars to theaters. Every music genre has a home somewhere in NYC.

The Seaport has some of the best historic buildings/streets and is near WTC. WTC site is definitely worth a visit, but the actual new center that looks like a whale's ribcage is just a high end mall with train stop for PATH and the subway.

Central Park is huge, beautiful, free, and has a lot of different things to do and see in it. Throughout the summer they also offer concerts and activities and it's very lively in general, definitely recommend. Try to avoid or ignore the horse-drawn carriages, they're extortionate and they smell like fucking shit 24/7 and fuck up the streets they skulk around.

Go to museums, they will have exhibitions for artwork you cannot see anywhere else in the world. People like to snore about museums but there are some incredible pieces of art in NYC.

>>2887603
All of the water around NYC is toxic and brown besides the lakes in Central Park. Do not under any circumstances go into any natural bodies of water in or around the city.

>sperg
>barely like leaving house
>no street smarts

best itinerary and places to stay in NYC?

>>2890404
go to time square in the morning and leave after a couple of hours and stay in the next city. should be a half day trip tops

>>2890410
what's the actual day to day like? Is it possible to just live a comfy, quiet existence in NYC for a while and actually enjoy yourself as a sperg? is there a better city for that?

>>2890412
>what's the actual day to day like? Is it possible to just live a comfy, quiet existence in NYC for a while and actually enjoy yourself as a sperg?
yeah of course a high percentage of the population is like that. Most of them live in Astoria but they can be found all over. There's a lot of actuaries and some finance/tech people who are like that
>is there a better city for that?
what do you want? in NYC you're overpaying for the brand and to status signal to other normies. If you want price to performance it's not a good city. Every city has comfy quiet suburbs to cope in. NYC's is just closer to the center and doesnt take a car. You can get from a sleepy commuter suburb to the center of the city in 15 minutes by subway

>>2890414
Idk, I grew up in the Midwest and have never been to a huge city. I picture it like Blade Runner or something. As for my goals, I just want to blend in and be anonymous. I want to hide in my apartment and code and later ride the train to a coffee shop and code there, get some shitty Chinese food on the way home, play some video games, find a pocket of people who are like me. I don't care about brand too much unless that actually benefits me in accomplishing the above. Seems like rent in Astoria is $2500+ wtf

>>2890416
>>2890414
>NYC's is just closer to the center and doesnt take a car. You can get from a sleepy commuter suburb to the center of the city in 15 minutes by subway

>>2890412
>Is it possible to just live a comfy, quiet existence in NYC for a while
yes absolutely
central park, especially north central park, is very quiet and is a nice place to just chill

>>2890417
the neighborhood I lived was like that. it was like 2% black so no crime. But I've been to the hoods of Brooklyn to hang out with my friend who lives in assisted housing and I didn't feel threatened. to me it feels like crime is over because even all of the so called hood niggas are addicted to their phones. This idea that NYC is a jungle and you need to watch your back is propaganda from New Yorkers trying to sound tough, either that or they think it's still 30 years ago

I live in NYC and 90 percent of this shit mentioned in this thread is boring as fuck

And honestly unless you like getting drunk on overpriced cocktails, going to overpriced cafes, or paying for overpriced dinners at self-masturbatory "concept" restaurants that have shittier and shittier service every single year, there's not a whole lot to actually do in NYC.

The only thing I really enjoy that's worth recommending (besides obscure local places in neighborhoods you won't go) that doesn't feel like I'm getting milked/scammed is going to Flushing and enjoying cheap and delicious chinese food. There's roosevelt island which is nice for a relaxing park day. Other than that this city is pretty gay unless you're loaded.

>>2890491

I give close to zero fucks about tourist stuff (I will do it probably if it’s low effort and safe), I mainly just want to see what it’s like to actually live there (hustle and bustle of the big city). I am pretty much a shut in or I walk around with earbuds in.

>>2890669
China is more suited for you

>>2890671

New yorker here that is the worst itinerary truly just responding in case you’re not trolling.

Go to Times Square but don’t go to Bubba Gump rip off, get street food chicken and rice located around the starting and stopping area, maybe some cheese cake from Juniors. Skip katz too, 30+ $ they’re laughing at you and it’s a brick of meat.

I hope you’re taking the official city boat to the island for 10 and not paying 20 for a tour from some black holding a sign that doesn’t even stop at the island. Battery park still has construction now blocking the view but that’s where you board the boat to go officially.

Do not take the carriage bikes it’s 18/ minute on a small sign and they’ll charge you 400 at the end.

Skip the memorial don’t give lucky Larry one red cent!

What to do instead? Anything else! You’re trolling

I live here mother fucker!

that's touristshit

Best Wonton noodle soup in town? Best late night dive bar? Also, I love alt-rock/Heavy metal underground venues, any faves?

Arturo's 85th and York

I think I need a reality check or at least an outside perspective. I'm a sperg on a road trip which I began spontaneously after a change in life circumstance. This is out of character for me as I prefer strict routines and the same tendies every day, but I'm slowly adapting. I've been where I am now too long and I had planned to be in NY state for Independence Day and to check out NYC after that, but I ended up on almost the other side of the country due to a "situationship" I got into on the road. I now have no real reason to go to NYC from where I am other than because I have some vague ideas about how it'll be and I've never experienced anything like it. My impression of it comes from movies and TV and in my head being there is like the cartoon Hey Arnold which I saw as a kid (although in pretty sure that was based on Philadelphia or Boston) or something like that.

What I'm getting at is: What's day to day life actually like if I pick a good spot? My goal is just to find a good short term rental, stash my car, and sample the lifestyle for a couple of weeks, and to stay longer if I really enjoy it. I want to bomb down main on my fixie and pop into a real happening cafe to order a coffee-microbrew blend at 3 pm on a Wednesday with my fellow hip millennials. Not really, I actually just want to see what it's like to live in a place where I can take the train everywhere and bike between that and my final destination. I don't care about tourist shit at all and this is essentially about having the experience and seeing if I would want to move there long term (doubt it but don't want to dismiss it without trying). One thing to consider is that being a sperg means I look like a gigatourist to normies no matter where I am.

What am I in for? More importantly is it worth driving thousands of miles on a whim to go there or am I going to get there and realize I hate it? I've been to a handful of cities with around 300k people but never anything even vaguely like NYC.

>>2894643
Also, I read the OP and it seems like he was trolling. What's actually worth doing if I don't want to have to make black people angry by declining their mix tape while walking down the street? I have been to the "hood" more than a few times in my life so that's not new to me but I am not necessarily looking for that type of "authentic" experience, but I also don't want to exclusively camp in my apartment for a couple of weeks and pretend I actually saw the city.

if you have a car it's not worth it at all. only megarich people own cars in NY. A cheap parking space costs more than rent in most places in the world. You have to ditch the car. You can rent a room for $800 or so. If you go there you will be surprised by the lack of hood niggaz causing trouble. Most of the city is some shade of third world brown. There is no "authentic" new york experience because the city's position in the public consciousness is entirely astroturfed and artificial. They spend an eye watering sum on propaganda to try to market their city to outsiders. I've lived in many places that are walkable and have a metro system, most of the world has cities like this. So I wasn't really impressed at all. The metro is old slow and dirty and mogged by even the delhi metro, only gimmick it has is 24 hours. NYC people are distrustful and materialistic, and extremely online. Most of the people there are a lot like you, actually. If you strip away the facade the HR roasties and etc are just as spergy as you, they just hide behind titles and such to camoflage it

>>2894646
My plan was just to leave my car in storage or at my rental and take the train or bike everywhere. I am looking at a Strida as a starter bike. If NYC isn't a special or unique experience, though, I don't need to drive thousands of miles to sample it. Is anything else very similar in terms of walk ability and public transport?

Also, you are just describing modern normalfags. Normalfaggots are now terminally online and they are as brain dead and slavish as ever. Their form of terminally online is scrolling tiktok, Instagram and all that shit all day long, and caring about social status. I'm a true sperg and I have zero status in society, I don't have social media, I have no friends or family and so on. I am the genuine type of high functioning that gives normalfags the uncanny valley sensation and causes them to become aggro like NPCs in a video game.

I just want to disappear into a big population and live unnoticed and maybe find some people who are like me. Just old school 4chan nerdy hacker gamer types. My ideal social life is pretty much movie club, D&D club, software development groups...

>>2894646
>a room for $800
Is it going to be full of roaches and unclean nonwhites? I've been looking in Astoria (thanks to this thread) and the cheapest monthly rental I see on Airbnb is $3k, but that's with parking and no roommates.

>>2894646
Females with subsidized make-work HR jobs are nothing like me. Those people tend to model their entire identity around their warm-body bachelor's degree and barely-six-figure adult daycare job that only impresses other datacows. They tend to fit the stereotype of looking down on those they view as less educated than them and being unable to find a mate--that kind of thing. They live in a world of largely imaginary and performative social status and hierarchy. They are all vaxxed and shit too lmao. I don't expect people on this board to understand what I mean because this place is full of the same status-obsessed morons, the only difference being that people here are simply low status. Even just casually skimming the catalogue, I can't help but notice that half of the posters here are catty little bitch normalfags who need to impress and seek validation from other 4chan users. I have sought validation many times in my own life, but as a pitfall, not as a standard mode of operation.

I'm a little bit like that but all of the redditor #SoQuirkyXD types shunned me in New York. My best friends there were black boomers and brown illegals even though I'm racist. Other white people went full karen mode on me every time they saw me and always tried to get me fired or some shit. But cold approach had a disproportionately high success rate with white women compared to other places

We all do. The updoot hierarchy or the insta hierarchy or the based l33t hierarchy. It's all fake. Even the "trying to be real" mindset has a hierarchy and is fake.

>>2894658
Incel /pol/ brain congrats you memorized everything you were told and now you regurgitate it out while seething in a basement, seriously go outside and touch grass

I disagree. Indifference is sometimes a cope, but if you stay true to your actual values (assuming you don't secretly desire approval/etc), you can opt out of this easily. This has waxed and waned for me but I'm more stoic and solitary nowadays and I'm content that way. I do think of myself as better than people who uncritically consoom and take the bad and all of that shit but I don't think that's necessarily an immutable part of who the plebs are, it's just a choice they're making currently

Good to hear about cold approaching but I'm not mainly in it for pussy, I just want to make sure I'm not missing my calling somewhere before I build a cabin in Alaska. I don't understand your Jeets joke sorry bro. I'm down to pay less than $3k (lol) but not if it means suffering daily

>>2894702
I'd post a pic of where I am right now but some autists would triangulate the sun and some landmarks and the angle of the shadows or some such OSINT and dox me. But rest assured that I'm sipping a long island and watching some teenage latinas frolicking in the pool next door through the palm trees from my balcony right now, sir, and I remain unvaccinated.
>be traveler
>have slave mindset
???

>>2894704
I said you can get a room for $800. That means the kitchen and bathroom are common areas with other people. In my case it was a guy from Peru and a guy from Turkey. This is not the same as a 1br apt to yourself

>>2894723
I understand the concept of roommates, I was asking if $800 (which seems extremely low even for my random Midwestern home town) is ghetto
Sorry I should have been more clear.
Good sources for NYC rentals?

the neighborhood was 2% black. i saw a mouse before though. everyone in nyc has mice. craigslist worked for me

Are you 75 years old? Internetfags today dox each other for fun the same way blacks used to shoot each other in Chicago. They don't even need a reason but envy is a good one. Never post again.

No one gives a shit about some clown pretending to flex because he lives in a $20 Mexican shithole. Lmao you paranoid freak

>>2894736
Ok, well, I'm outside, touching grass and oggling Mexican girls is the point. Gosh, you are rude as heck, dude.
