Title: Attention, NYC Clusterheads!
Post by sandie99 on Feb 1^st, 2008, 11:16am

My best supporter/boyfriend Timo is coming to NYC for a 5-day trip this spring (March 28 - April 1).
He'll be staying at Wolcott hotel and he and his former colleagues will go to 2 hockey games, one NY Rangers game and one NY Islanders game.

Now, Timo has few questions...

1. What are the best places to buy (general) music and movies?

2. Where he can find the best selection of indie movies?

3. Where is the best selection of metal music?

4. Are there some special events and happenings going on during the visit he should check out?

5. Other tips/ideas/suggestions...

The best place to buy vido's and music is in Chinatown, its all boot leg though.

I live in Buffalo NY and my family and I went to NYC twice last year as tourist, first time in 30 years. I used this web site:

When you get in the subway, ask one of the info booths people for a map, they might look mean, but they are very friendly and helpful! Everybody in NYC was polite, I was surprised. Enjoy yourself and take lots of pictures.

Tell Timo he has to go on the Staten Island Ferry for the best view of New Yorks skyline possible and to a Heartland Brewery for absolutely GORGEOUS beers!

just noticed this....

plenty of places to go.

Music....go dowtown into Greenwich village. Bleeker street has some kick butt stores.

Have him look at citysearch.com for shows, events etc.

give me a holla and I'll see what I can do

Thank you guys already! :)

Timo has been reading one of my NYC guide books and he's all excited. He doesn't know the program timetable yet, just that what days the ice hockey games are on. ;)

Good luck. I can't offer much as the last time I was there was 1973. He'll have a good time if he enjoys being around tourists. They probably outnumber the populace by now. 8)

We just watched the film "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" and now Timo wants to visit White Castle once he gets to NYC. ;;D What are your experiences about White Castle, is it worth a visit? Are their burgers yummy & tasty?

Can you recommend other restaurants Timo should visit?
