Off to New York in a couple of weeks, anyone got any recommendations for decent bars, places to eat etc?
I reckon Hooters would go down nearly as badly as suggesting going to an Italian American restaurant.My favourite place. Like Clint, I’d recommend 5th Ave rooftop.
Perhaps if you nip down to Madison Sq Gardens, you could cross the road and head in to Hooters.

Going on holiday to New York and going to Hooters would be like going to Sicily and eating at Pizza Express.
Some good suggestions from SBT,
Pizza in Times Sq. John's Pizzeria...
Looks like a dodgy dive - little door, not much frontage.... but then when you get in!!!

Do Rockerfella Centre in evening just before dark... watch all the lights come on... a sight to see...
Free trip (i think... or dirt cheap!) on staten island ferry .... see statue of liberty and get a great sight of manhattan.
Go to see Grand Central Station
Starlight diner for breakfast- get there early to avoid big queues.
Walk the "High Line"
Downtown open top bus tour (better than uptown)
World trade center - worth going up 1wtc too....
It's a chain but Appleby's in Times Square is decent for breakfast.
It’s always been on my ‘to do’ list - we’re not there on a Saturday, unfortunately. I saw there are a few options to go on one but they don’t seem to atop at the Bing.If you’re there on a Saturday and are a Soprano’s fan then I highly recommend doing the location tour!
We got to meet Vito before the tour and have pictures with him and then it takes you around various sites shot in the series whilst also showing you the scenes on the tv on the bus. You get to go and have a beer in the Bada Bing, onion rings in the cafe in the final scene of the final series etc. highly recommended!
Yeah the one I did is Saturday only.It’s always been on my ‘to do’ list - we’re not there on a Saturday, unfortunately. I saw there are a few options to go on one but they don’t seem to atop at the Bing.

That’s a shame as it was quality!
Also, recommend the Greenwich Village area for a night out and we ended up at a live music/cabaret place called Poisson Rouge which was very cool.
That looks really good!Google 'Big Apple Greeters'
We actually dined at Grand Central Station. Lots to choose from, but we frequented an American restaurant, the food was great, and the servers top rate and great fun. Seemed weird to dine out at a station, but would definitely go again.

Never been to the States and I don't think I ever will now. Too bloody old! Having said that, New York is one place I'd avoid like the plague. It's never interested me one bit. Too much like London. All buildings and tourists! I'd rather see places like New England, Colorado, Utah, Idaho etc. Small towns where you get to meet real people. I've been to London hundreds of times - both business and visiting people - and hated it every time. New York just sounds too much like the Smoke. Anyway, just my opinion C4L, and I hope you have a great time. Stick some pictures up on here later, to show how much fun can be had if you try!
Had a great weekend in Liverpool not long ago. Portsmouth for its history. Er... That's about it really.Which cities do you like?!
