Going to New York City

[Pegun]

I'm going to New York on a bustrip that gives us tickets for blueman group, but it also allows us to go shopping for a while before and after the show. Anyone have any ideas for shopping? I know she wants to go to Macy's, but can ayone tell me the location of any of the stores (ie. 5th and 46th)?

IIRC Blue Man Group plays in the east village on lafayette.

Right by there you a whole bunch of shopping, one block west of lafayette on broadway. Walk south towards canal st, and theres a whole bunch of stores on either side of broadway to do your shopping.

On St. Marks Place and 3rd ave, theres a great falafel place called Chickpea if you feel like a snack

avoid the helicopter rides 😉

edit: unless you're a good swimmer!

shopping... take her to SOHO. take the N/Q/R/W to canal, walk around chinatown, then walk uptown along broadway. lots of shops... A/X, jcrew, banana, pottery barn, etc. hell you can even go to bestbuy

I'd recommend skipping the Empire State Building if you only have a day, since the line to the observation deck can be up to 4 hours long.

all the famous shops on 5th ave start around the mid 40s up to the 50s. be ready to spend a lot of money. the big macys is on 34th and manhattan mall is right next to it but that mall really sucks.

Astor Place and Union Sq are great places to shop, within walking distance of each other

China Town / Little Italy / Canal Street are in the same vicinity & some people find it to be fun (I don't personally)

Rockefeller Center is kinda neat

If u can afford it, go to Peter Luger in Brooklyn, Olives in Union Sq., The Bull & The Bear on Lexington (I think)

There are a lot of fun clubs in Bowery & Bleecker

Personally, I love hanging out in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) in Sea & Galapagos (both clubs)

Hope this helps
