Title: New York, New York
Post by: Snaggletiger on March 11, 2010, 11:33:27 AM

Going to be there for a few days next week.  Never been and I know NOTHING about this quaint little community.  Staying at Park Central Hotel a few blocks from Times Square.  Any recommendations for incredible pig-out joints....must see tourist attractions besides the obvious landmarks?  Need some place with the best pizza on earth or the baddest azz sandwiches or steaks etc.  I heard Mickey Mantles Sports Bar is real close to where I'm staying.  Anyone been?  Worth the trip?

Enlighten me world travelers.

I've heard the crack and hookers in the alley on E 143rd street are to die for.

They start taking reservations at 3:00pm.  You better be on the phone at 2:59.  It's an old speakeasy - you go into a hot dog restaurant, go to the phonebooth in the corner and pick up the phone.  A brick wall moves and lets you in to the bar area.  It's pretty sweet.

if you are a harry met sally fan stop by katzs delicatessen.   

knickerbockers is one of my favorite dinner spots. 

good pizza in ny can be found almost anywhere including pizza hut.

on your first trip with few days hit the major attractions you find important to you.  for me spending a few hours @ the met (american furniture display) was a priority as well as releasing a penny from the empire state building.  you'll be overwhelmed and the time will fly quickly.

I would go to the Senfeld No soup for you place and check out the skreets.
