Just a tip to those going to NY, I suggest flying from Seattle. Prices right now are much cheaper than out of YVR, as well as more direct flights.

I took Cathay Pacific. Booked online for 4 days, 3 nights @ Roosevelt Hotel for $980 after tax.

Just got back yesterday from NY.

HELLA hot as shit down there. Busy city, not my forte but definitely a place to visit again.

Any more recommendations for eats in NY?

Preferably not fine dining unless it can be missed. Any of the Momofuku restaurants worth going to? Or NY style pizza recommendations?

Bark Hotdogs - excellent hot dogs
Shake Shack @ Madison Square Park - popular burger stand with long ass lines
Buttermilk Channel - suppose to have the best fried chicken in town
DB GB - Daniel Boulud's sausage restaurant
Minetta Tavern - get the "cote de boeuf" or the black label burger. the cote de boeuf is 42-46 oz bone in with giant roasted marrow bones

for snacks, go to Dylan's Candy Store

did anyone get the deal on redflagdeals.com? $308 return with taxes van-new jersey

Burger Joint - Best burgers, even better then Shake Shack.
Chelsea Market - Best lobster for buck.
Primehouse - Best Aged Ribeye.

And i have had a lot.

A few pictures of what I ate when I went down there not too long ago.

lombardi's is always solid for pizza but went there in May and it was utter garbage, been going there for years and always enjoyed it however this time it was just so dissapointing! Hit up grimaldi's instead, or if you can di fara's out in brooklyn..way deep down in brooklyn

di faras is epic, i ate a whole pizza to my head when i went, could not walk after but it was well worth it

chicken on rice! dam good food

Anyone recommend a decent hostel in NYC?

I'm looking for the same thing.

have you ever looked at air bnb
fuck my friends stayed at a hotel close to time square i think i will try and find out and ask them

edit: this location is great

i stayed on 98th street and the location is unreal

how was the place you stayed at? do you have a link to the place?

I remember going to soho and then randomly hitting a street that was lined up with a whole bunch of italian restaurants that probably extended for 4-5 blocks. ALL italian restaurants that serve authentic italian pasta/seafood/pizza. And once you enter the street, you'll have waiters trying to get you to dine at their restaurant. Its a must see/go if you go to NYC.

Edit: I remember the name of the street. It's called Little Italy

I ended up staying at Hosteling International

Decent place, on the cleaner side for a hostel. No hotel by any means.

They offered walking tours in the AM by donation. Good way to start the day and meet people.

Any places that I must visit or eat at? Going in March.

Must east at Shake Shack!
Best burger joint!

I ended up getting the 4 star Mariott in the Financial District on Priceline for $128 a night. After taxes its about $157. Is that a good location?

that is not bad, stuff closes around there kinda early being a work place and all, but i mean its a quick sup way ride up to time square and central park and brooklyn so yeah pretty good

I recommend Little Owls in west part of Greenwich village. Good food, friendly staff. You won't get any of the snob attitude that you can get from staff in some of the well known restaurants in NYC.

the little owl | 90 Bedford Street, NYC

What's there to do in Brooklyn? Is it shady there?

some parts are yes, but Brooklyn has grown so much over the years. tons of ppl flock here now cause it is a great place for food and bars and pubs, i can not remember the street name but there is a street and it has like so many pubs on it, its nice to go get a beer there pretty chill atmosphere, da fara pizza is unreal well worth the wait. green-wood cemetery is pretty crazy. walking along the Brooklyn heights is great, crazy view of NY and the skyline and if u r willing to go all the way to coney island there is that also
