I can't believe all you guys bugging out over the McDonalds. It's JUST a McDonalds... still serves shitty food! :P

Collins, Justine knows I JUST moved here from Manhattan about 2-3months ago, lived in Gramercy for the past couple years, and grew up in NY/NJ. If you bring her, and you need directions to anything, just give me a buzz - I could be your own person city and subway map.

I wouldn't just go randomly riding the subway trains. Stick to the 6 - that'll take you from Times Square all the way to Little Italy.

You're not staying "on" Times Square, you're staying "in" it. Times Square is huge. It's going to be REALLY crowded at night. Check out the Toy's R Us - it's got a ferris wheel in it. I don't know, there's nothing really BIG in Times Sqaure; it's kinda just a place to walk around and shop.

Little Italy is ok if you want to go to a nice resturant for italian food, but I wouldn't travel there for pizza. Little Italy is almost non-existant now from what it used to be. Canal Street/Chine Town is really taking over. If you want good pizza, like someone mentioned earlier, find a Ray's pizza - I found out they have one here in Alpharetta; if you've ever been to that one, the ones in NYC are 10000000000000000x better. I also like Brazo! Pizza.

Go to Canal Street and walk around and buy awesome stuff for cheap (watches, hats, clothes, I don't know if Justine is into designer stuff like bags and jewlery), but I warn you, during the summer, it WILL BE PACKED. But considering you're not from around there, you'll most likely be taking your time.

The Met (aka the Metropolitan Museum of Art) is an awesome visit. It's right outside of Central Park, and it's a gorgeous walk just to get there. They also have the remains of an acient egyptian tumb in there. I know that place like the back of my hand because I went there about every other freakin' week for my Art History classes.

The MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art) just opened up in a BRAND NEW place last winter; it's a pretty cool building and it's got some pretty awesome stuff there. They had a Pixar exhibit not too long ago.

The American Museum of Natural History is my favorite. It could be because I've been going there on class field trips since I was in 1st grade, and it's more of a nostaglic feeling then anything else, but I took my boyfriend there last year and he seemed to enjoy it.

Go to Central Park. End of story. Just walk around. I suggest doing it during the day, though.

I guess you could go see the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, etc, but in all honesty, those are ALL DAY tourist traps. I don't know, they never thrilled me. But I am from there, so it could be different for you. Just plan on spending all day if you try to get in, especially during the summer.

There's clubs and bars AAAAAALL over the place. Don't even ask or worry about that. There's a bar on about every freakin' corner.

I can't think of anything else, but Justine knows where you can reach me if you need anything. Have fun. I miss it so much.
