So in a little under two months, I'm leaving the shores of the bastard colony of Australia to kick around New York city for a while. I haven't even been outside my state before this, oh no. I need pro tips from you native yanks. Is there anything in particular I would be sore to miss? Which restaurants are going to spit in my food? Will people find my accent hilarious, or will it be a magnet for the laydays? Are cowboy boots de rigueur? Should I bring my own guns, or will they be supplied upon arrival?

a fitting punishment, m'lord
hush, counselor!
go to outback steakhouse
this is literally the best advice you could ever get re: new york
god damn Tam
nice work
Also spend as much of your New York time as possible in Time's Square.
Also also punch a cop. If it's a Tuesday, they have to let you.
also spend lots of money on clothes. new york has lots of clothes.
neat.
new york has some fun bars though
I was in the Catskills when I was ~15 and I was wandering around thinking that ideally there would be a cute lady trekking alongside me back to the house
I was also thinking about My Side of the Mountain
I go to school in the Hudson Valley and it is gooorgeous
re: clubs, what pooro said
This plus pop tarts was basically the plan so far.
you'll be around when the weather's nice, if you don't have much going on go read in the park or wander around the strand or something
The best advice.
I had an aussie sparring partner when I took muay thai. He was 6'7" and would get angry when outback steakhouse commercials came on the radio.

Go to the Museum of Natural History - this is mandatory.
If you like museums you should also go to the MOMA, the Met and the Guggenheim
Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, go to Dumbo for pizza at Grimaldi's
Try to go see a band somewhere, there are a million little bars with live music playing
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Dru got swole
I'm talking a nice roll for the bun, cheese, bacon, fresh veggies, all the trimmings, get some fucking steak fries with it, wash it down with a huge-ass, mostly-liquid-corn soda, and top it all off with some pie
doesn't really matter what kind of pie, just make sure to get some fucking pie
if you can easily stand up afterward, you haven't done it right, try again
not someplace super shi shi, but also not the $10-of-really-good-grease sorta delicious
just a really fucking good meal for which price is no object
burger bars, sure
not restaurants like New York does, though
or at least not with any sort of regularity
listen
New York has, arguably, the best restaurant culture in the entire world
it is worth saving up and eating out at one of them, because really upscale New York restaurants are an experience that are wholly unlike anything else
Good to know you're an expert.
he was asking what to do in New York, I recommended he go to a fancy restaurant and get some world-class cuisine
I am also gonna recommend that he cross some roads while he's there, and yet I'm pretty sure australia has roads
From what I have heard, New York is too! I shall certainly be poking my head into one or two places, thank you for the reccomendation.
I don't see why this is a point to squabble on.
