Things I need to eat the most delicious of in NYC: Cheesesteak Pizza/Italian (within budgetary reason, not more than $20 pp tops) Hamburger Ramen?? I live in LA, so I've eaten pretty good of all of these items before, but I would like to try New York's bestish when I go in January. e: Also, any tips if I'm hoping to see The Book Of Mormon while I'm there for like, less than a hundred bux? It looks pretty... sold out. bobula fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Nov 9, 2011 |

bam thwok posted:recommendations I'm getting hungry just reading this :9 I'm not a fan of lamb though, so if you got a beef burger suggestion I'd like to hear it. For those who've flown LAX to JFK before: what's a good airline? My options are Virgin, American, Continental, United, JetBlue, and Delta. I'm leaning heavily towards JetBlue since your first checked bag is free with them, but I've also heard good things about Virgin. I've only really flown international flights before so I don't know who's good with shorter flights.

bam thwok posted:Don't be thrown off by the lamb. It tastes like ultra-tender beef, and it's probably in the top three best burgers I've ever eaten in my life. I'm looking for something just plain delicious and not overly greasy, with good ingredients. My favorite burger here is In-N-Out, so it doesn't have to be high class. But since you say the lamb isn't lamby, I'll probably try that. I just had issues with the texture of it but it probably doesn't matter when it's ground up. It seems like all airlines are offering round trip to NY for $300, so I guess JetBlue it is. You can't beat free checked bags nowadays. Any unique sightseeing recommendations for a guy who's very tech-savvy (in IT), also likes comics and nerdy poo poo/internet/video games, also likes military stuff, but not majorly? I'm trying to convince my boyfriend to come with but he's pretending NYC has nothing to offer him  I tried to entice him by saying we could go to a taping of The Daily Show or Colbert Report, but his retort is that he could just watch it at home.

So I "reserved" tickets for a Colbert Report taping in January, and the email they sent said "Tickets will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. All shows are overbooked to ensure capacity and no one is guaranteed entry." The email also said "we recommend you get in line no later than 15 minutes prior to 6 pm" Realistically, how early should I get there in order to get in? e: also, average tipping rate in NYC. bobula fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Nov 15, 2011 |

A friend (and fellow goon) is hosting my boyfriend and I for about a week in January. She lives near the Hewlett stop on LIRR. I was thinking I was just going to pick up a 7-day metro pass and that would be that, but apparently it doesn't work on LIRR  What's the best route fare-wise to go, assuming we'll be going to and coming back from the city at least 5 times during our trip there and going all over the place in the city?

two_beer_bishes posted:mta.info See, telling the MTA site to find me a route gave me a 45 minute trip from Hewlett to Penn via LIRR for $7-something and no alternate routes. Cost isn't an issue, within reason, but time is (I may die spending hours on the train per day) so I think I may get an unlimited week Metro card and a 10-trip LIRR card and spend about $85 on transport for the week. Do transfers count as another trip?
