How to maximize 3 months in NYC
I will be spending the summer interning in NYC and am curious what interesting things I should take advantage of. Hoping for atypical things to do (i.e not "seeing the Statue of Liberty"). Places to check out, things to experience, places to eat, events to attend, etc.
Whatcha got?
Turtle Bay. Definitely.
I don't want to MS you, but please say this is for interns. Turtle Bay can't a great place for anyone else.
yes it was one hundred percent meant as sarcasm
LOL. Intern indeed that place is a sweaty sausage-fest.
One place I found that was fun to just relax at was the Press Lounge. If you're not feeling Hudson Terrace or Cielo or some other loud ass club, it's a cool place which has a nice chill vibe to it.
ya but then you have to go to hell's kitchen...
How is the Press Lounge in the winter? Do you still get nice views or is everything covered up from be winterized?
umami burger is dope
are u doing IB? cause then the best way to maximize ur summer would be at ur cubicle.
ruthless i love it
Working at a HF this upcoming summer as a sophomore, then IB the following summer is my plan
Hey, went to college in NYC; though I now work out west. My list (though maybe not your preferences).
Cookie/pastry: Levine Bakery, around 74th and Amsterdam
Drinks/bars/clubs: Bar downstairs (near bryant park), the park, the jane
Sights: see the villages (east & west)--tour the art galleries and walk the high line if it's nice out, then grab dinner nearby
Museum: seriously, do see some. Bring your student ID for discounts. Neue Gallerie and Frick are my faves
If you like the arts, see Shakespeare in the Park (in Central Park), and chekc out what other concerts are going on
If you have a free weekend, take the LIRR to the beach--don't have to go far, just take the Orange to Long Beach.
Most of all, walk around the neighborhoods, though avoid the trash piles. It's a lively place and I miss it.
Solid list, thanks. What about best places to eat?
So my favorite restaurants are all along the 1 line/UWS since that was convenient for me in college.
Indian (South Indian)--Saravana Bhavaan (sp?) is very good, on Amsterdam & c. 82ns Ramen--Jin Rame, on Bway & 125th Pizza/Italian sitdown--Don Giovanni's, around the high line Halal cart...skip Halal Guys (overpriced) and go to any cart where the guy is cooking Cafe--Hungarian pastry shop; the basement cafe in Neue Gallerie; Irving Farm; Joe (last two are chains) Chinese--explore Chinatown, be adventurous
For everything else, there's seamless (and as a summer analyst, that's the bulk of it). Most of all, get 2-3 friends from your program and go out to eat/explore the city on weekends.

Just try closing your eyes as much as possible, city is a disgusting, overrated, rathole. However, you'll certainly enjoy the sight of the women in the summer and the food selection is amazing.
I've been to the city before just haven't spent a significant amount of time.
