Hey guys,

I'm in NYC this weekend for a couple of days/nights .. Anyone got any suggestions on great places to go/things to do that are a must-do this weekend? I'm just looking for some insider tips on places to go, to make the best use of my time.

I prefer anything that involves live music & drink (good beer) 🍻

Plant lots of turf.

Plant turf within cap range of mine. That would be fun

I generally suggest Peter Lugers in Williamsburg for steaks, but it might be hard to get in on short notice.
Errrrr Aug 23, 2011

Old Homestead - Kobe steak burger! You might even see me in there!

Papaya king is good. Chiprani is. Great or Peter Lugers, but you have to get a Philly from the roach coach in manhattan near the Waldorf historia

I think you should go see The Book Of Mormon on Broadway

roach coach is classic.

Lol - I will avoid the mystery meat hot dog street vendors. I am never drunk enough to ever contemplate one of those!

Steamed buns at Golden Steamer in Chinatown. They are both delicious and cheap. The Spider-Man musical is really good (they fixed it).
The biggest event in NYC this weekend is likely to be a hurricane. It was inevitable. My wife is a storm-magnet, and we moved here last month.

I'm a short walk away from Golden Steamer. Looks like everything is shutting down for Irene. I will plant turf to pass the time...

There's no Mystery meat!
My suggestion: avoid the earthquake & hurricane?

Tek did come over & we went out for noodles in Chinatown. Saw her off and I'm back indoors in my hotel.

Hope you all stay safe tonight. 👍
