I'm in Manhattan this week, staying basically next door to the UN. Neat. My class also has a strange schedule as it runs 1-6 instead of 9-5. This means that I can afford to stay out later or can do stuff in the morning. Anybody have ideas? The only show I really want to see ([Title of Show]) is closed, to my great sadness. I think I'll tour the UN, but... Idunno. I really don't know NYC that well. Suggestions?

You probably already know to visit St Marks Place, yes? If you stroll down to St Marks Place, there's this completely awesome dog park full of people playing with small dogs. I had a lot of fun just hanging out & watching dogs with a cup of coffee.

There's always this (http://www.villagevoice.com/nycguide/index.php?sid=6).

If you can treat yourself a little, eat here (http://www.angelicakitchen.com/) while you're there! So deliciuos! It's not outrageously expensive or anything, but a meal for one would run anywhere from $12 - $20.

Have you been to the cloisters? (http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/department.asp?dep=7)

Hmmm. None of this is very night-timey, for sure. St Marks Place really is a good place to just go looking for things to do, though.

Ooooh! Angelica Kitchen looks divine! And yeah, I should definitely go see something at the met. Good call.

Thanks!

Check out the rush tickets, you might be able to get into a show that you'd think was otherwise unavailable to you, like Spamalot or something. (I don't know if it's still playing, but I thought it was.)

It may be. To be honest, everything I've heard of it is either something I've already heard or just kind of... uninspired. So I'm not too excited about that. Hmm.. I wonder if The Producers is still running... and everyone seems to say Wicked is excellent... and it's been aaaaages since I last saw Les Miserables... hmmm.. I'll take another look at what's out there.

If you see Wicked I'm going to have to mindsap your memory of it, I'll see if I can leave every other second or something but I might get jealous and just hoard the whole thing... Just warning you now.

Well, so I was looking at what was on Broadway and it was all a bit more expensive than I really felt like paying for anything I wasn't dying to see, so I started looking through the off-broadway listings and... and... I think I must have blacked out for a while, because when I came to I had bought tickets for Evil Dead, The Musical. I can only assume that the transcendent, inscrutable wisdom of this decision blinded my mind for the duration of the decision-making process. Plus, the tickets were pretty cheap. This is most likely due to them being in the first three rows, which are designated "the splatter zone".

TODO tomorrow: buy a nice, white "I <3 NY" t-shirt. I'll tell you all about it if I survive.

Library

My favorite spot in all of NYC is the public library. It's free and it's the only place I've ever been that's exactly like the movies. Wonderful.

MOMA is pretty good too but it costs money. Oh yeah, get some pasta in little italy.

a la cometbus - did i tell you i found a copy of infamous #36 in the oakland library (the one about riding a bike through europe with oj and baguettes). do i need to mail you a copy.

You so do! I haven't read that one since high school, though a couple of years ago I saw a copy of Rum, Sodomy and the Lash in a record store and remembered Cometbus talking about walking up a mountain singing Pogues songs with a bunch of French people, so I bought it. I am a sad, sad, fanboy for a magical punk hobo. I'm sure that's meaningful on some level.

Oh, and get a freaking account already. Forsake the dark side for a system that lets you keep track of friends and wasn't designed by blind monkeys being mind-controlled by crack-addled advertising executives!
