Sorry to open a thread about this again but i truly appreciate MS members tips on this kind of stuff :)

Any nontypical turist places to visit in the following cities? (clubs, restaurants, etc)

Toronto NewYork Boston Washington Chicago

I`ll be there from Aug 28th - Sep 20th ... Toronto for work and the rest for vacations.

The only city i know is NY but for a short term trip @ work so would be nice to hear some of your comments.. ANY help is welcome.

Thank you in advance guys !

Re: MS Trip advisor

What's non-typical tourist stuff? Anything specific?

Washington, you can see the memorials and museums, take you more than a day to see it all.

The Sightless still lives in NY, I'll hit him up.

Re: MS Trip advisor

I remember two good advices from Tiddles ( holocaust memorial in Paris) and an amazing Restaurant that Krystian pointed out, Ciel de Paris.. Wouldnt have gone to those places without the advice :)

Firstly would love club & restaurants ... like where i can eat the best pastramis in NY? :lol: Any not to miss Broadway stuff? Which museums are the best and maybe not very well known? or i dunno.. rent a car because there is a very nice and rare spot near some of the cities? any shop where i can buy nice clothes?

In Toronto... Would to recommend to go to Niagara falls? is it worth it?

Sorry if im not clear enough... anything glad you did in those places and want to share will help me out ;)

Thanks again peeps

Re: MS Trip advisor

DC - depends on what kind of food you like, if you like Indian food, try Rasika, it's a few blocks from the White House and award-winning food. You may not get prompt reservations as the place is packed, call a week or two in advance. You can also head to Northern Virginia - about 30 min drive from the White House and find a restaurant called Busara. PHENOMENAL Thai / Veitnamese food. For touristy things, the memorials and Smithsonian museums are a great way to kill a day.

New York - too many to list, 9/11 Memorial, Observation deck at Empire State Building, Gugenheim museum, and just google award winning restaurant, there as so many different tastes you will find, you won't ever go wrong.

Re: MS Trip advisor

Amazing Kamal thank you... i`ll be in NY on 9/11 so probably will be a good experience...

Already took note of all that ;)

Re: MS Trip advisor

NY: empire state, but go at night. It´s even better than the day-view, and no people at all, and you can stay all the time that you want. If you like jazz, go to the Village Vanguard. Museums: MoMa, MET, and Guggenheim. If you have enough time, cross the river to Brooklin: it has beautiful places and good restaurants

#1718918Post 9 of 48

Re: MS Trip advisor

I personally would suggest not missing Les Miserables on Broadway in NYC. .. and also maybe "Raisin in the Son" with Denzel Washington... because, well, Denzel Washington.

I would also look into going to the club "Output" in NYC, or at least check into who is going to be there then...

I can ask a friend of mine who grew up there for more suggestions. You want pastrami? :lol: will also ask about museums and clothes, as well as if you should rent a car to travel to the rarer parts of the city.

Additionally I have a cousin who lives in Washington D.C. Maybe you can stop by her place and say "hi." She could direct you to some cool places for sure.

As for Chicago I have a friend Brandy I could ask pretty easily about where to go there.

Always willing to help out Juan :)

p.s. My cousin in DC has a sister (my other cousin :lol:) who lives in Toronto! So I could get info on Toronto too... actually my good friend Brian loves Toronto and would be a better resource for info actually. I'll let you know soon!

Re: MS Trip advisor

Nyc -

[quote]best pastrami is katz deli in lower east side. Clubs- probably 1oak, pink elephant, lavo. On sunday for brunch go to bagatelle- brunch & club combo. Unreal. Random spots- just wonder through soho, lower east side, west village- totally fun and great to do as a tourist. [/quote]

Output in NY is awesome. Definitely hit that. If you're going to be in Brooklyn and dig baller belgian lambics, hit Spuyten Duvil- but before you go, stop next door and put your name in for dinner @ St. Anslem, then go next door to SD and get your drink on while you wait an hour to two for your seat. Four of us split a 44oz bone on rib eye, and a 22oz lamb shoulder and it was fucking epic.

The rest of my NY restaurant/booze/party list is too lengthly to get into, it's NY, you can stumble on greatness at every corner. Choose your own adventure.

[U]DC[/U]:

Flash club is awesome: [URL="http://flashdc.com"]Flash Nightclub and Bar - Washington DC [/URL]

[U]Chicago[/U]:

You're in luck, I just sent another friend my Chicago recs the other day. Here ya go:

Without really knowing your food tastes, i'll just throw out some of my favs. Feel free to ask for others based on location, type of food you like etc, I go to Chicago a lot:

[I]Longman Eagle[/I] in Logan Square - easily one of my favorite places in chicago. We've arrived in the morning before and stayed all day. Great everything, especially whiskey.

[I]Emporium[/I] in Wicker Park - Tons of classic arcade games- Qbert, NBA Jam, Donkey Kong, etc...probably 50+ games, great beer list, fun spot to spend a couple of hours.

If you're in Wicker Park ^, [I]Jerry's[/I] is a great beer and eat spot too.

[I]Publican[/I] - [URL="http://thepublicanrestaurant.com"]Publican[/URL] < so dope. Definite must. If you only have time for lunch, hit [I]Publican Quality Meats[/I]. [I]The Purple Pig [/I]- Pig ears, great booze list, small plates. [I]Au Cheval[/I] - in the west loop. Don't even try to go during peak hours. Easily the best burger i've ever had, and that's not a phrase I throw around lightly. Yes you want it topped with pork belly, but skip the fried egg.

Baller beer joints- [I]Hopleaf, Maproom, Banger's & Lace, Fountainhead[/I]. [I]Local Option[/I] is an off the wall kind of place- heavy metal, tats, and a bevy of rare belgian lambics and guezes. Really a dope place if you're into that kind of beer...and metal.

If you've got time take in a Cubs game. Tix are pretty easy to come by these days. The Cubs suck, but Wrigley is a great place to spend a few hours. Get bleacher tix, get your party on.

The Magnificant Mile is awful. The Navy Pier is awful. Stay away from both.

Where are you staying?

Gracias Diego, empire state a la noche entonces... bien ahi. Tenia pensado dar una vuelta sin duda por Brooklin 8)

Re: MS Trip advisor

Since you guys are so generous.... :lol:

Any comments about Maine? Is it a worthy place to visit?

The only thing i desperately want to try is Lobster (which i know is the best there)... its my favourite seafood but here in Buenos Aires is crazily expensive... If i'm correct its like 4.5hrs from Boston so it's a tough decision only for the Lobster :lol:

Don't go all the way to Maine just for lobster. You can eat fresh lobster in any of the cities you're visiting, especially Boston.

#1718937Post 17 of 48

Re: MS Trip advisor

I like taking visitors to [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSKLeo6Mb3k"]Keens[/URL] for steak in NY.

You can't skip MoMA or the Met (even if they're the obvious choices) for museums, I easily spend up to 4 hours every visit. Guggenheim is a nice building but really depends on what they're showing. Go to museums on week days and early if you can. The [URL="http://www.newmuseum.org/"]New Museum[/URL] and [URL="http://www.madmuseum.org/"]Museum of Arts and Design[/URL] are often overlooked.

Output is probably the only club I would consider going to. I like the acts that [URL="http://www.residentadvisor.net/promoter.aspx?id=1521"]Blkmarket[/URL] brings in. [URL="http://www.timeout.com/newyork/clubs/mister-sunday"]Mister Sunday[/URL] seems to be a popular day party, as is [URL="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?603242"]All Day I Dream[/URL].

There's PS1 which Kamal mentioned in another thread. Every Saturday in Summer is [URL="http://momaps1.org/warmup/"]Warm Up[/URL]. PS 1 is about two stops from Manhattan in Long Island City.

Also during Summer, usually free concerts called [URL="http://www.cityparksfoundation.org/summerstage/"]Summer Stage in Central Park[/URL] like [URL="http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/centralpark/events/2014/07/13/summerstage-bonobo-cibo-matto"]Bonobo on July 13[/URL].

There're too many bars here. [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/raines-law-room-new-york"]Raines Law Room[/URL] if you want something cosy and comfortable, only takes reservations as everyone is seated, no standing room. [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/little-branch-new-york"]Little Branch[/URL] if you're hip, like armpits and aren't claustrophobic. I always go back to [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/sake-bar-decibel-new-york"]Decibel[/URL], a small casual sake bar. There's also [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/please-dont-tell-new-york-2"]PDT[/URL], a bit of a tourist destination I think.

I've not seen any of these but theatrical stuff, Book of Mormon and Sleep No More has been on the hype machine forever. I've heard polarising reports on Book of Mormon, but [URL="http://sleepnomorenyc.com/"]Sleep No More [/URL]is highly recommended by everyone who's been. If you're going to Sleep No More your might want to check out its restaurant counterpart, the [URL="http://ny.eater.com/archives/2013/12/the_heath_sleep_no_mores_restaurant_counterpart.php"]Heath[/URL].

I always look forward to walking the [URL="http://www.thehighline.org/"]Highline[/URL] with visitors cos I really like the idea of it. The Highline is near West Village so you could have breakfast or brunch in West Village, walk the Highline which goes through the Meat Packing District and Chelsea. Get off anywhere to check out those places.

Chelsea Market is another tourist destination and there's a stall in the middle that serves seafood. Every. Single. Time I walk past, I see people on tables devouring lobsters.

If I'm not wrong Thursday evenings in Chelsea are gallery opening nights in Chelsea so you can wander around, check out art, drink free cheap wines.

I haven't been to Katz myself but a Sydney friend who went recently reported the hype is well deserved. Just across from Katz is [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/il-laboratorio-del-gelato-new-york"]l laboratorio del gelato[/URL] very good gelato.

Areas of note: East Village for dive bars, bars, Momofuku (there's Momofuku Milk Bar, Momofuku noodle bar, Momofuku san—I personally think Momofuku is overrated), Mighty Quinn for BBQ, Minca for ramen, one of my favourites. (Probably spend the later half of the day here so it ends with food and drinks in the area)

West Village is quaint and very walkable. People actually slow down and stroll. Bleecker St has high-end shopping. You can walk right up to and walk along the Hudson River. (I think you can easily spend the whole day walking and exploring West Village/Highline/Chelsea/Meat Packing.)

Lower East Side is a maze of stuff, from streetwear to food to dive bars to nightlife, I think there's always been a scene there. (I think you can spend half a day or a whole day exploring and walking to Chinatown too).

Soho is where you'll find most shopping. I like the smaller back streets of Soho, no patience for the gawking crowds on Broadway, it's one big clusterfuck. And on that note, Times Square is one big clusterfuck too. [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/public-new-york?osq=public"]Public[/URL] is a nice restaurant in Soho. [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/balthazar-restaurant-new-york"]Balthazar[/URL] is a French stalwart on Spring St but a tourist trap and overrated IMO. [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/freemans-restaurant-new-york?osq=freeman+restaurant"]Freemans[/URL] is also quite nice down a small alley you'd miss. [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-habana-new-york-4?osq=mexican+soho"]Cafe Habana[/URL] on Prince St has nice Mexican.

If you're up for it you can walk from Chinatown to Lower East Side to Soho to East Village.

Brooklyn, your first point of contact will probably be Williamsburg. There're flea markets and stuff on weekends. From Williamsburg you can walk up to Greenpoint. I personally don't care much for Williamsburg. If you have a destination in mind, like a restaurant, then it's fun to head deeper in like Prospect Park, Park Slope, Bushwick, etc. [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/robertas-brooklyn-2"]Roberta's[/URL] in Bushwick supposedly serves really good pizza but it's always packed. I go to [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/gruppo-new-york"]Gruppo[/URL] near East Village for my pizza.

Clothes-shopping really depends on what you're into, you can pretty much get anything here (at a price). Barneys, Barneys Co-Op, Odin, OAK, 3x1, Opening Ceremony, Niketown. NSW (recently rebranded to Nike Lab), Surface 2 Air, Flight Club, Supreme, Comme des Garcon, Dover St Market, CDG Black—this is the capital of consumerism. Anything you can't find a store for, you can get online.

#1718940Post 18 of 48

Re: MS Trip advisor

check if the terrace at the MET is still open in September, that was on my list when I was there.

If you have been in NY before... you can check Brooklyn stuff. There's another thread about PS1, that's in Brooklyn, very easy to get by subway if you are staying in Manhattan. That's a party on Saturdays, during the day. It's done by 9 pm. From there you can go to Output...THE nightclub...

Remember you have the Cielo nights on Mondays, with Francois K playing all night.. I was staying in Chelsea, that was near my hostel, but I had to leave early on a Tuesday morning, so I'll do it next time!

And what Diego said it's either Empire State at night and Top Of the rock during the day, or the other way around. I went to TOTR at night, it was amazing.

I went to Coney Island, es [I]pintoresco[/I]. Something you always see on the movies, but of course the beach is awful compared to other places... but if you have free time, I think it's ok. It's like an 45' by train, but again very easy to get there...

#1718945Post 19 of 48

Re: MS Trip advisor

I just remembered the SecretSundaze parties... Try joining the Blkmarket e-mailing list and you'll get a lot of info on great parties, maybe some more underground venues, some boat parties even...

I went to one in a the roof of a factory in Brooklyn, during the day on a Sunday... crazzzyyyy shiiit :RockOn:... police came and shut it down at 9 pm... great memories :lol:

#1718969Post 20 of 48

Re: MS Trip advisor

]More for NYC :

[QUOTE]There is a burlesque show called the box which is kind of underground club in lower east side. Small but one of a kind. Hard to get in sometimes. Def recommend that. SL is a another club- meat parking. And for a lounge with awesome views and pool , good all around is Gansevort on park ave- rooftop. On 25th and park Ave [/QUOTE]

#1718974Post 21 of 48

Re: MS Trip advisor

Oh talking about roof tops, I was just reminded by FO's post, if you're in Brooklyn, the [URL="http://wythehotel.com/"]Wythe Hotel[/URL] has a popular rooftop bar that lets you look over to Manhattan.

And this is criminal to have forgotten, [URL="http://dumbonyc.com/"]DUMBO[/URL] ([URL="http://dumbonyc.com/dumbo-history/"]Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass[/URL]) is my favorite accessible part of Brooklyn.

[QUOTE]In 1978, the naming of Dumbo was conceived by resident artists as a way to make the area sound silly and unattractive to people looking to buy real estate here. To read more about the origin of Dumbo’s name, read the story written for the first time on DumboNYC.com by the person who named Dumbo.[/QUOTE]

It's not as accessible as Williamsburg, not as crowded, has a more mature residence and way more character IMO. There's a [URL="http://www.brooklynbridgepark.org/"]park right under the bridge[/URL] but last I past it parts of it might be closed for renovations. There's a lot less retail, treat it as a destination for food and to see the neighborhood. I've seen [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-river-caf%C3%A9-brooklyn-3"]River Cafe[/URL] recommended for brunch and the view.

It won't take long to walk Dumbo, you can do it after walking Lower East Side and jumping onto the F train.

BTW another restaurant to check out in Williamsburg is [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/marlow-and-sons-brooklyn-2"]Marlow & Sons[/URL].

#1721005Post 27 of 48

Re: MS Trip advisor

I was in Chelsea, near highline and it was great. Then in Tudor City (38th st and Park) and it was great.

Midtown is right next to Grand Central, Times Sq, so it can be better than that.

My most recent visiting Aussie friends stayed in East Village, Chelsea, and West Village I think.

Bryant Park is between Times SQ and Central Station, it is fairly convenient. But I would avoid Times Square because it's not fun to step out into a mad house when you start the day and return to a mad house at the end of a long day. I had another friend who stayed in Times Square thinking he would enjoy the hustle and bustle and because it's Times SQ—regretted it.

There's a [URL="http://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-m-cake-boutique-new-york-3"]Lady M[/URL] cakes on the perimeter of Bryant Park whose green tea mille crepe cake I'd recommend.

Also in the vicinity of midtown, 32nd St around Broadway, is a stretch of Little Korea for food.

Re: MS Trip advisor

I've stayed in Times Square and I think Feather makes a great point. We had more fun staying at a friends 2nd tiny apt by ourselves located near Central Park for sure. But maybe 1 or 2 nights in Time Square is still fun.

Glad to help, I still have a tourist perspective of NY :)

If I'm to generalize I'd say most of the fun and interesting/character stuff are below mid town which I mentioned earlier. There's seldom anything from midtown uptown upwards except 5th Ave, MoMA, and Central Park. Go further up and you get the Met and Guggenheim but surrounding them are mostly residential and the snottier side of NY. And further up is Harlem.
