**Going to New York. Any must see places?** Hey guys, Pretty excited about a trip to New York this week. Just wondered if there are any places I should go check out? Record stores, places of musical interest etc. Plus anything I could buy out there which would be good for the money. I know I’m buying a Zune HD 64gb because I have been after one for a while, so I will probably just get that from a Bestbuy. Maybe some in ear monitors. Really don’t know. Just don’t want to come back and feel like I have missed out on seeing some places. Thanks guys, Tobes ---

Rock and Soul is a great spot for music and equipment…462, 7th ave. in midtown. DON’T buy any electronics at any of those “touristy” looking spots with all the shiny new stuff all over the windows…they are such a rip off. As far as chill spots, the village has something for everyone and its all in walking distance. Enjoy!!! ---

Thanks for the reply! Yeah small private shops are what I’m more after. Family want to do the whole site seeing route but I’m just taking a load of cash and want to find the hidden places 🙂 ---

I hear there’s a big metal lady on an island! Totally go there! Also, Times Square at 3 am is the most surreal experience. Try that. You never imagine that a place can be so lively at all hours! Find a little pizza place just off there. The serve the biggest pizzas I’ve ever seen. Bottom line, I guess, is that the entire city is amazing. ---

Sorry for the bump. Just wanted to know if it’s possible to get a prepaid data only sim or something like that while I’m out there. I know it’s only 4 days but I wouldn’t mind having net access while I’m about for google maps. My phones a Nexus One which I bought direct from google so it’s on the same frequency so that shouldn’t be a problem. ---

Im so jealous, I waited years to go to NYC and finally did this year. It is the best thing I have done in my 20 years of existence! If you’re a sports fan go to a Knicks game, its amazing! ---

If you’re a sports fan go to a Knicks game, its amazing! They’re not playing while I am there 😞 Already looked a while back to see. I’m not even a sports fan but love the culture that goes with it in the US. ---

**Things to do** If you’re in Times Square and see/hear random people asking if “you like comedy shows,” ignore them, unless you and your family are actually looking to go to a comedy show, lol. This is more-so things to do then places to see, but you can’t go wrong with the East or West Village or the Lower East Side (LES). There’s always something to do in those areas; really great restaurants and bars. Midtown is really touristy; you’ll find more 20-somethings around Union Square and the aforementioned areas. If you have time to hit up a venue at night (I don’t know how old you are) and if you’re into DnB, Sullivan Room (218 Sullivan St) has a weekly event, Camoflauge, every Tuesday night. Usually starts at 10; website says it’s $5 before midnight, $10 after ([camonyc.com](http://camonyc.com)). All-in-all, enjoy your trip! ---

I just have to pipe in, I greatly dislike NYC. But being from outside Boston, it’s probably pretty apparent. But it’s too much city for me lol. I really would suggest getting some pizza downtown though, I’ve never had pizza quite as good. ---

I went to New York three times when I was a kid. Two notable firsts for me while I was there. 1. Smelled marijuana for the first time while walking through Central Park. (my dad told me what it was) 2. saw a prostitute (I think) giving a bj on some steps. Despite all of that I’ve never been a big fan of the city. ---

I want to sound cool and say that’s sounds like my kind of city. But I don’t smoke and paying for something which I could… probably… maybe… get for free here, isn’t my thing 😉 Keep em coming guys. They are all going down on my map and I intend to go to them. ---

Rebel Rebel on Bleecker Street is also a good record shop (west village). One of the last standing… Turntable Lab in the East Village is fun too (vinyl + gear). Academy Records on East 12th Street is okay too. If the fam needs clothing, Century 21 near ground zero is usually pretty popular. J and R near City Hall is similar to B&H, and open on Saturdays… If you’re able to sneak out in the evening, for events around town, check out [http://rhythmism.com](http://rhythmism.com) informative on things to do clubland related.
