*DAMN R6 Forum

so i'll be taking my first trip to NY in a week or so... I'll be gone from New Year's Eve until the 8th or so....

I've already made an intinerary to do the necessary things like the empire state, Ellis Island, so on and so forth.  I'll even be taking in a Jets game and a NY Rangers game!

I'll be staying at the Soffitel hotel, which is the number one rated hotel... w00t.

anyone have any advice?  What should I not miss out on? What is a must see.... anything and everything will be appreciated...


-weak.

I just hope for you that the subway and busses are driving again ;-)

Some word of advice - don't go further up than 135th Street. I was living at 127th East when I visited N.Y. City this summer for a week, and I noticed that the area gets uncomfortable as tourist if you go further up towards the Bronx, especially at night.

At all I visited the common tourist attractions and enjoyed the nightlife in Central Park(I don't know if there are a lot of festivals and concerts in the winter, but in summer it was a great place to be) and East Village(lots of bars).

What you can leave out for sure is ground zero.

Have fun and enjoy your stay,

I hear the hookers in New York City are first rate.  So don't miss out on that.  ;)

if you see the naked cowboy kick him in the balls for me.

Yeah you better hope the strike is over. NYC is fucked right now. No buses or subway, cabs are jammed and charging people $10 to even get in the cab. People can't go to work, restuarants are shut down because no one can get there. Its chaos.

Hahaha, have fun in NY then. ;D

may they should pay their transit workers better...

lets not lose focus here... i know we got some new yorkers out there....

They refused to let people into NYC if they didn't have 4 or more passengers.

New York Pizza is the best.  You shouldn't have any problem finding a good pizza place if your staying in the city.  Thats one thing you can't miss out.

Going to see the Ball Drop in the city is really fun...just make sure you wear extremely warm clothes because its gets freezing cold.

Visiting Time Square...the Tree should still be Lit and its very nice. And you can do some shopping and they have really nice places to eat around there.

The one thing im worried about is the weather... what should I wear?

I'm an L.A. boy and I usually relax at the beach.  Cold here is 60 degrees... I don't think I have ever experienced anything lower than 55.


am i gonna freeze my nuts off?

Right now its about 30 degrees out...so dont pack shorts.

Yes you will freeze. It's 23 in Baltimore right now. Since your blood is 'thin' from all that warm weather i would advise packing a pair of long johns, Army issue 100% polypropolene cold weather drawers are especially effective, it's what I rock under jeans when the temp drops below 30. Also, a wool sweater would be nice and if you're in a survival situation it's much better than cotton (death fabric) because it retains its insulating properties even when wet. Boots might be nice as well, I recommend Mukluks.

lol...don't forget the parka![/size]

ahh yes i rock this,

im going to the Armed Forces surplus store tomorrow.... i need boots.

wool socks are a must too.

never thought of that.... although wool is out... my GF is vegan, so no way i'll get wool.

Spetz, you make we want that jacket

when i was young i used to live in new jersey, about 20 minutes from the city and i always liked to go to the restaraunt motown, and the dr. jeckle and mr. heid (spelling ?) restaraunt .. really sick.

have fun bro.  ::bussi:: lmao

Weak,  hit me up when you get here.  I live in midtown.  Also in the area....

Mr. T?

and just a bridge and 45 minutes away there is myself and ulti lol

It's not that bad at all. 

The transit workers get paid more and have a far better deal from the city than school teachers, police officers, fire fighters, etc....

50,000 a year median income, full medical benefits, and a nice pension....and alot of the time you get this:

If you want pizza go to LOMBARDI'S. I went there on a class trip best fucking pizza ever. Theres mad history shit like battery park, strawberry fields, chrysler building, the hall in grand central that you can talk into the corner  and the person in the other people can hear you(famous thing look it up), but I hear the bars are nuts in the city. Have fun

Have a fantastic trip mate, and just remember, no padded jackets, no bags with wires or shit, no looking dogey, blinking in an odd manner or taking irregular breaths... and you'll be fine ;) ;)

One more thing...

If you go on the Subway or any other place with a bunch of people, DON'T mention that you have a bomb.  ;)

thanks to those who provided the sound advice.... Ghosty, I won't mention the bomb thing....  and BFG, no promises on the looking dodgey....

afterall.... (http://homepage.mac.com/jairodelatorre/dodgey.jpg)


btw, how about a "best caption/analysis/description contest" while im gone... c'mon take your best shot!  Winner gets a swift kick in the nuts!

Customs will try to take him back over the border.

hey fellas, just wanted to say Happy New Year to all those who I a haven't been able to reach.  NYC is a blast thus far.

The city is much much different than LA!  I must be walking 4 miles a day!

w00t, see you guys in my crosshair soon.

btw, im just waiting for some new yorker to give me a good reason to go crazy on them.  Especially when its like fooking human tetris trying to get down the sidewalk.... bring it!

I met up with weak in NYC.  One minute I'm havin a beer, the next I wake up in a tub of ice with my fucking kidney missing.  Does anyone really know who this cat is?

weak teaches kids??

Finnish the sentance bronto ;)

Weak teaches kids.... to become drug mules like him ;)
