Oh is the Pokémon center separate from Nintendo World?

I think I've been to the ESB before, though my memory is fuzzy. I've never been to the Statue of Liberty before though!

Will People's Improv Theater have audience participation? I'm uncomfortable with that. Otherwise I'm down for a good play

Just checked, apparently it's now the same store. It's also called Nintendo New York, according to Bulbapedia.

Yeah Nintendo World has a Pokemon section in there where it's mostly goods and toys that are pretty neat

I really like the Met (Art Museum) and Central Park. The Met is just a huge Art Museum and has a pay as you wish policy so it's generally not too expensive to visit. Central Park is just a really big park with a lot of cool statues and plenty of activity in it. Both are basically right next to one another too so its easy to spend an entire day just in those two places. Probably my favorite area in NYC.

definitely seconding central park. also washington square park.

grimaldi's is a pizza place at the foot of the brooklyn bridge. recommended to eat there and then cross the bridge into manhattan.

try the street carts, they're fun to buy from and quite tasty, often.

I always recommend k-town, great place for great food and stuff. It's right near the empire state building.

Other stuff said in the topic is solid, part of what I like about NYC is just walking around to different places.

Also seconding Central Park and Grimaldi's, just know Grimaldi's (the one under the Brooklyn Bridge anyway) may make you wait like an hour or so for their pizza.

Yeah, a lot of their shows, but they have two shows going on simultaneously each hour each night so there will be like ten options every day. I recommend checking out their website and seeing if anything interests you -- tons of talented people performing for affordable ticket prices.

www.thepit-nyc.com

You may prefer to avoid their improv shows (even though they are free and at their best on Mondays and Wednesdays). Sketch, stand-up, one-man shows...they have some other options. Don't be afraid to point out a show you're interested in if you like, and if I know the performers involved I'll try to help guide you from there.

Uh this is like 2 hours from the city no?

Anyways go to the Russ & Daughters diner
Get Halal Guys chicken & lamb combo at 3am or later
Don't go to Times Square after like 8pm, there's nothing open (and only go there once overall if you need to)
Di Fara's pizza definitely matches the hype if you're in Brooklyn

Go to Mace. It's a cocktail bar in East Village and one of the best that I've been to (and I've been to quite a few).

Amor y Amargo is another great bar in East Village, especially if you like bitters. There's also PDT...but you'll definitely need to call in at 3 PM and get reservations for that one.

Seconding Juliana's pizza. You can walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and grab pizza immediately after.

Touristy places? If you're gonna be outside the Empire State Building tonight at like 7ish, let me know.

If you do the Nintendo Store on another weeknight at a similar hour, also let me know.

Seconding the Halal Guys. 53rd and 6th (SW corner) is the O.G. If you're there before 7 PM, then you'll have to go to the SE corner or to 7th ave instead, though.

Also Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn if you want to see a real life, legit Italian Mafia operation. As someone who's only seen the mafia in movies, it was probably one of the most amazing things I saw in the city. Great food and ice cream too.
