Mantis in NYC next month

[!Xoible]

I will be in NYC next month for about a week. a part of it is business, but im there mostly for pleasure. I NY

NYC only, nowhere outside Manhattan

I've already been, and im familiar with China town and little Italy, so im good there, but i want to try something i havent tried there before

I would like advice on the following:
- best clubs/lounges
- best middle eastern food (if there's a arabic/middle eastern area) like falafel, shawerma, etc
- Best touristy stuff
- Funniest bestest broadway show
- if there are authentic omakase style sushi. i plan on going to Nobu, but i can use a few more sushi places
- Best hole-in-wall restaurants of any ethnicity, just bomb food.

You guys are welcome to suggest other things if you feel like i'd be missing out big time if i didnt go to.

thanks fellas!!!

First of all...i would go to Tao..place is $ but u can have a sick dinner and then it turns into a club that is Redicc...

Sushi place...i sometimes go to Azuki sushi....it by the meat packing district on park ave. ...you spend over $20 you drink saki free for your whole dinner...which is pretty cool.. also the place is usually packed with people and loud music so its a cool scene.

U want good steak try Angelo and Maxes....great restaurant

i can go forever on restaurants in ny lol

[!Xoible]

awesome man!!! thanks a bunch.

[MomoM3]

oh yeah - and I'm sure you know but if you don't I tell everyone visiting anyway --

hopstop.com is your friend on your PDA. punch in location and destination and you'll get around the subway system like you live here...

If you get bored while ur in town, let me know. We can head up to GPNY and run a few laps in the karts and grab some dinner.

Molyvos on 56th and 7th is really good and the ultimate hole in the wall would be the Burger Joint in Le Parker Meridian Hotel. You can enter on 56th or 57th between 6th and 7th aves. Just bring cash and know what you want to eat cuz you'll get blasted and sent to the back of the line like the Soup Nazi.

Hiro is an awesome club.
