Mantis in NYC next month

!Xoible · 09-03-2008, 01:17 PM

I will be in NYC next month for about a week. a part of it is business, but im there mostly for pleasure. I

NY

NYC only, nowhere outside Manhattan

I've already been, and im familiar with China town and little Italy, so im good there, but i want to try something i havent tried there before

I would like advice on the following:
- best clubs/lounges
- best middle eastern food (if there's a arabic/middle eastern area) like falafel, shawerma, etc
- Best touristy stuff
- Funniest bestest broadway show
- if there are authentic omakase style sushi. i plan on going to Nobu, but i can use a few more sushi places
- Best hole-in-wall restaurants of any ethnicity, just bomb food.

You guys are welcome to suggest other things if you feel like i'd be missing out big time if i didnt go to.

thanks fellas!!!

well NYC is pretty diverse, but actually yes.... i do have a preference. i prefer asian places for clubbing, sushi/japanese/thai places for eating (coz i already know places in china town).
