New York city as a visitor really benefits from being able to spend a good deal of money.

I've always enjoyed going, but I always had a plan first.

I thought I was going to love the planetarium. They have one of the very best star projectors. But frustratingly, and it's not uncommon, they fuck it up by raising the star projector going "see all the night stars? aren't they pretty? Okay. Now we're done with this several million dollar machine, it's time for a projector show" and then basically just project a movie on the planetarium. ASDFASDF I just wanna look at stars, okay? I can watch a special on space in a normal theater that doesn't require me to tilt my neck. My high school had a small planetarium and I enjoyed it far more than that frustration.

Long island.
No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

This.

The second time I went to NYC I spent most of the time getting drunk with my girlfriend who lived in the area. That was pretty good. But I also don't count that as going to NYC since I was either between two domiciles in Staten Island or some suburb in Jersey (4th of July family party).

No. (Like $100 for the day I guess!)

Hahaha I guess you could get lunch or something at McDonalds.



Actually most food I found to be fairly reasonable in price! Went to the Hard Rock Cafe and spent $20, had a pretty great great meal and it was cool. Also went to some themed restaurant called Jekyll and Hyde's Club and it ended up being fairly hilarious and cost about $35, but I also had beer!

There was enough free stuff to do around that area for a day that I had a really really good time! Just walking and seeing a bunch of stuff, checking out the stores in Times Square. Went to the New York Public Library and saw some cool shit! Got free 3D Glasses! Rode a ferris wheel in a store (ballin). Overall, really fun day and it cost more than it should have because we got expensive food! Easily could have spent like 30 bucks and had the same day with shittier food :P

How to tour the city: Walk around and if you see something interesting, go to it. Have a general direction in mind and go that way until something interesting pops up. Feel free to change direction at any time!
