if you're into clubbing and house/trance/techno, check out Pacha - 46th st between 10th and 11th

newark is the shittiest, smelliest, most god forsaken place i've ever been, but its only about a 30 minute drive to the city.

I live here and this is one the coolest things I've done that involved sight seeing. I took my GF on it and both of us absolutely loved it.

It's a little pricey, but worth every penny.

I went at night, I think it would be a little better if the sun was still a bit out. You can try to make it right for sunset for the best view, the city will still be lit up so you can see everything, but everything will look absolutely incredible.


*EDIT* As far as Pacha goes, I hate the damn place. I'm 21. It's packed, it's smelly dirty and dingy. I've been clubbing since I was 15 (teen nights) and I have been to all the super clubs in NYC. If you want to go clubbing, PM me and I will let you know of some promotions for smaller but much nicer clubs.

lol also pretty high crime rate in certain parts of newark, so don't get lost not to scare ya or anything... um....

I'd have to say depends on what you're into, food, site seeing, music, parties.

You have to try Gray's Papaya, not what it once was, but might as well try an NY hotdog, there's a few around the city depending where in the city you are....

Get drunk and walk around, you'll find something to do.

really? my sister in-law asked if i wanted to stay with her but she has kids so i didn't want to disturb or burden her more, she lives in Westchester.

[ct323i]

o man, should have picked Westchester :D

[bointc]

lol Westchester if you have a car, Newark you can atleast stumble onto the path.... Just make sure you don't get mugged

[Crazedcat]

Greenwich Village (St. Marks place, Bleeker St., West 4th st. areas)

Lots of activity at night.

[imolazhp_ci]

just find some chick on facebook who goes to NYU and be like... oh hey, i'll be in the city for a few days and don't know anyone or what the deal is? could you show me around? i do that everytime i travel anywhere, it always works, worst case scenario some ***** in different state you'll NEVER see says no.

times sq sucks. dont do it to yourself.

since no one mentioned seaport, i will. nice place to hang around for a couple of hours and grab a bite.

seaport is boring man. Nothing is really there, except A&F.

Generally, NYC is boring.

and please, don't go down to Chinatown/Little Italy. lol you'll regret it. Theres a million people there, and nobody is really doing anything but just standing around. It takes me about 1/2 hr to walk 5 blocks. :tsk:

[Bimm325i]

Thanks for the advice, im not really look to go clubbing there since i have no friends but one. plus its for a family thing while im there!

There's a few good places to eat in the village...

Hey guys, came back couple days ago, figure i tell you how it all went!

I ended up staying around eastchester with my sister in law. i had 3 days to myself just to hang out, and most of that time i found myself in Greenwich, there was always something to keep me busy. The people there are not like here, which was a nice change...

I didnt do any of the site attractions i planed, driving was a B*TCH, for the first couple of days. did alot of walking when i got into town. To be honest i thought i was going to get mugged but not at all, i mean yea there were some shady places i walked faster than others but nothing like what friends here told me, ahah

I want to come back and do more, not sure how my summer is looking now, but i wish/want to squeeze in another trip back again! That city is awesome!

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, next time you definitely need someone who knows the city to show you around, you will have a lot more fun! :hi:
