gents (and Ladys),
I've lived a summer in nyc and had the best time in my life. Here's the lowdown:
Must See: McSorley's...oldest bar in nyc, abe lincoln has been here. You have to order 2 beers at once (8 or 10 oz.) for $4 total. Really crowded on weekends, though you can get a table if you wait. Great spot to pre-game. get off on the astor pl. station on the 4-5-6 line.
Good Neighborhoods to party:
1. Lower east side. Aweswome collection of bars within walking distance of each other, some great late-night eating establishments (think crepes). Cheap, too. Get off at Delancey St. or the Lower E. Side on the B-D line.
2. Murray Hill. lots of JAPS, if thats your style. decent bars, moderate expensive ($5 for a decent pint). Get off at 28 st. on the 4-5-6 line.
3. NYU bars. This is the place to go if you are looking for cheap drinks and easy girls. There's a huge section along bleecker st. Really cheap, get off at W. 4th St./NYU on the B-D line or 8th St. on the N-Q-R line.
If you're looking for something a little more hip, go to the meatpacking section, a little yuppie, go to the upper east side (great bar called the Big Easy at about 86th and 2nd).
If you want something a little alternative (read: hipster), go to brooklyn. Take the L line to Bedford Ave, and walk around there..very cool.
hope to see you gents (and lady's)
