Not sure, I initially saw it on Reddit. Thought it was great.

For starters you'd enjoy spending a whole afternoon gallery-hopping in Chelsea. Between 19th St and 29th Street and 10th and 11th Ave is the biggest concentrations of galleries in New York. And if you go specifically on a Friday, and you're not all arted out by the evening, you can then head to the Whitney Museum nearby which is open late and Pay What You Wish 7-10pm (Fridays only) and will have the Whitney Biennial open by then.

Pro tip: downloading the See Saw app is the easiest way to keep track of all of the art shows in the city. You can search by neighborhood, nearby, opening this week, or closing this week. You can also select the ones you want to see and it automatically adds them to a map, making it super easy to get around. Totally free. Game changer.

ny.eater.com/ is always good to follow for restaurant recommendations (and cheap eats ny.eater.com/maps/best-inexpensive-affordable-restaurants-food-nyc)

Avoid Times Sq. unless you're going to the theater, a protest, or checking out the Midnight Moment, which is a widely unknown public art project where all of the screens display artwork for 1-minute at the stroke of midnight. Sometimes it's pretty sick. In the past it's featured people like JR and Tracey Emin, and the one up for the month of march is particularly cool and makes the whole of Times Sq look like a computer glitch.

Depending on how long you're staying in New York, if you're looking to get away for a day Dia:Beacon (a museum in Upstate New York in an old Nabisco factory) and Storm King Art Center (sculpture garden) are both pretty great.

As a native NY’er these are great tips. In Chelsea a Cleon Peterson show opened last week, his first in NYC, not sure when it closes.

If you go to Moma, Halal Guys food cart is on the corner of 53rd and 6th Street. $6/wrap.  Best food deal in the city IMO.

If you go to MoMA, and they tell you that your membership has been revoked, don't leap over the desk and stab the employees. Just try to keep your composure and not cause a scene (unless done in the name of performance art).

Talk to me, are you flying out from Heathrow? Ill be sure to try my best to get you a glass of fizz on that short hop over the pond.

NY -

trainers - flight club 812 broadway
dinner - gramercy tavern, get whatever wine/beer/cider pairing they are doing, if you go for lunch get the burger, its not on the menu but its awesome
Coffee - Stumptown, there is one of the lobby of the ace hotel and another one by Washington Square Park
something to do - sleep no more at the McKitrick (sp)

MIA

dinner - what are you into, I could go on for a long time about food.
art - yes, wynwood is great, but its like street art disney land. i suppose if you have never been, go. nearly all the galleries have moved out of the area. there are some real treasures downtown, little river. its spread out in pockets now. mindy solamen (sp) is a favorite of mine but outside the norm of this board. primary flight has a good program.
real art - NM MOCA is a nice, easy to enjoy venue with a nice outside area to grab food, enjoy the day
coffee - panther
stuff to do - lots of art folks call Miami home now in addition to the local crowd that was here. they all largely hang out together, in a few groups. so follow instagram and you will see something popping, go and have a blast.
the beach - dont drink here for the most part, its stupid expensive. ocean drive is a mess, but much like wynwood if you havent gone before, its worth the trip. if you are into the club thing there are both underground and table service choices. im personally a north beach kinda guy, much more relaxed, outdoor restaurants, locals.

[sijh]

Stumptown is ok for a quick coffee grab, I would also recommend Cafe Integral for something a little different (www.cafeintegral.com/nyc), the Brazilian bread snacks are great, as well as the coffee.

For food, the best meal I have had in New York in ages is at the four horsemen in Brooklyn, if you are lucky, you might bump into its owner (LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy).

Other food: Kiki's Tavern is great, looks like a chinese restaurant, is actually greek. Mr Taka Ramen is pretty damn good as well. Essex Market has some great food options.

Art wise, plenty of invader's knocking around, as well as 4 or 5 Haring Murals still surviving. The one in the LGTBQ+ center is quite something. There is a d*face at Lafayette and Broome, and a trip to Williamsburg would be advisable for a ton of other murals.

[Dexter Bulldog]

i wish i could tell you specific locations for sightings but walk around the LES and you'll see a lot of the artists popular on here, i still see random invaders i didnt know where up/restored from time to time. youll also find great spots for a drink or a bite and not feel too touristy. does the see saw app show locations of street pieces by any chance? is there an app for that?

This is well worth the $ I used the Tokyo version when I went there as it has all the relevant maps for cool / trendy shops and exhibitions etc

Don't forget to get a 'I Love NY' tattoo at Black Fish Tattoo. They run a 50% discount Wednesday through Friday (only for that tattoo).

hahaha, that's an ood name for a place in NYC.

Fette Sau means Fat Pig.... in German.  

Also a rather popular term of abuse, if I'm not mistaking.....

Last night I dreamt I went to New York and spent so long at the Halal food cart that I missed out on lots of art... 🙄😏😂

I hope in your dream, as the Master of the Cart was putting the finishing touches on your wrap, he picked up his red sauce bottle, looked you in the eye and said, "Extra hot sauce?" You replied in the affirmative. 

I am usually not an extra hot sauce person.  At the cart...I am an extra hot sauce person. 

You then proceeded with your yellow bag across the street to the metal tables, sat down, kept your head low, and devoured the wrap like some sort of primal animal  - not looking up as the wrap oozed out across your hands in every direction and you were there, knowing that there weren't enough napkins in all of NYC to clean up this mess, but you were okay with that.

[Newar]

long time haven't been NYC since COVID.... Miss lily's still exist (jamaican food) and if you are lucky Questlove is maybe on the turntable (happen me 2 times )

Mama’s Too! 105th-106th on Broadway makes incredible square slices, the city’s food critics love it. Below Houston on Lafayette Street you’ll find Supreme Carhardt WIP and more. 100 Mott street not far from there for Soup Dumplings, a must try I took an English band there they were fascinated and loved. If weather good a safe subway ride out to Coney Island nice, Coney Island Brewery out there. If weather sunny a walk in Central Park wonderful.

Williamsburg’s heyday largely 1997-2005, then the developers moved in followed by wealthy people who heard Williamsburg cool. The artists and musicians moved to Bushwick. I hear the original Roberta’s is still good, pizza and such, in Bushwick. Art Collectives, street art and more.

A water taxi to Brooklyn’s Fulton Landing good for anytime - parks, little shops, ice cream, chocolate shops, what is sometimes ranked as America’s #1 pizza Juliana’s, and the best views of NYC - daytime great, dusk/night spectacular. Many like Greenwood Cemetary, many greats there, I think Basquiat, Boss Tweed, etc.

Also great is the Staten Island Ferry ride, Battery Park to Staten Island, take the next one back you are doing this just for the view, although a few blocks on Staten Island side Flagship Brewery, who make some fine craft beers.

Old Town Bar, on 18th street near Union Square, one of the oldest in city but not a tourist spot, great Bloody Mary, their Buffalo Wings have been rated Top 50 America and I agree, they made a Hatch Show print once celebrating 100th anniversary of their urinals, wish I had one!

Charles Gabriel is a Harlem / NYC legend, Charles Pan Fried Chicken, long a Harlem fixture since 1990, has newly opened at 146 w 72nd and is some of the best fried chicken I’ve eaten, when he was up in Harlem my bud and I would go there, get the chicken and sides (Mac n Cheese, collard greens etc) and walk across the bridge to Yankee Stadium. A number of restaurants have been known to have him as a guest chef. Not far if at MOMA or Central Park. I’ll send some burger places, I love a good burger!

Here’s some of the best burgers in NYC, many Top 10 for decades, I’ve enjoyed them all 🍔🍔🍔!













Corner Bistro cash only, in biz since 1961, good beer good vibe. Your hands will smell like hamburger for days. The original PJ Clark's since 1881, Sinatra and Jackie O loved their Burgers. Peter Luger great, I think they only do the burger for lunch. JG Melón on all the lists, I haven’t been there in years. Burger Joint, pictured between PJ Clark’s and JG Melon, hidden inside Parker Meridien also great! Different parts of city depending on where you are.

Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn is an institution for the right reasons www.robertaspizza.com/

Would second (or third?) hanging out and if possible staying in Williamsburg. Easy to get to Manhattan but a much cooler vibe for my tastes.

Get some of Mike's hot honey from the convenience stores, it will change your life mikeshothoney.com/

Walk as much as you can, subway is great for long distances, Taxis in manahttan are relentlessly slow, but walking you can look up and down and take everything in. I average about 15 miles a day when there usually.

Nitehawk cinema is a great way to fill an evening, they will bring you beer in your seat throughout the film.
nitehawkcinema.com/

I loved the food in koreatown, worth checking reviews as i think there is a mixed bag. My favourite place is high up in a skyscraper and great value compared to how expensive it looks. Amazing food and views over the Empire State Building - www.gaonnurinyc.com/

There used to be a cool art trail in the DUMBO area of Brooklyn, but last time I was there gentrification was happening en masse, so no idea if that is still there

Lastly.... the cookies here will require queuing, but worth it - levainbakery.com/

Be fascinated to know how much NYC residents agree or disagree with the above....

I sat at work eating a slightly over ripe grapefruit whilst looking at those burgers and had to put in some time off requests.

Roberta’s is great, but as I can attest after 5 days in Bogota one never has enough time for everything. Personally I think BBurg a bit over, I myself was looking to buy a place there 22 years ago when it was cutting edge and everyone (except me) was wearing a trucker hat. However, there are still some great things going on, although as I mentioned earlier the artists and musicians left 10 years ago. But one could easily spend one’s entire trip in BBurg (although that would be a shame!). Levain Bakery cookies are out of this world, they have a few locations now lines not so bad. Nitehawk great, but if on a short trip I would go for a burger or a pizza before Koreatown (which is very good, btw). Also some amazing Italian restaurants around.

I agree as to getting around - print a subway map to become familiar and start to organize your trip. Walking and subway are how I get around, I don’t own a car. Biking may be possible also, lots of bike lanes.
