New York Shitty
posted by on September 8 at 11:14 AM
So I’m on vacation in NYC this week, sleeping on floors, drinking too much, sweating. Yesterday I saw Reggie Watts beatboxing somehwere in Manhattan, caught a Variety Shac performance, and almost DJ’d a friend’s night (it didn’t work out and I spent most of the night stuck in a giant traffic jam instead).
Mostly I’m just trying to relax and see some friends, but does anyone have any suggestions of what to do while I’m here? Let me know in the comments.
Was Reggie Watts beatboxing in front of a camera? It might have been for Rocketboom...
Little Branch somewhere down around Christopher St. has absolutely bitchin' cocktails, made with care and priced accordingly. The fact that I can't remember the exact address is proof positive.
Unplug your computer and go outside.
If you're in lower manhattan, pick up the village voice and the ny press to check out the happenings in the city-you'll find something for sure.
Other Music. One of the best record stores in the country. It's on E 4th St.
Run/walk/ride a bike in Central Park.
Spend an afternoon in Washington Square Park; there are usually some amazing street performers working the tourists for drug/booze money.
Comedy clubs.
And, as Lou Reed advised, take a walk on the wild side.
LaMonte Young's Dream House on Church St. It's usually closed during the summer months, but well worth investigating, definitely look into it. 4 hours in there feels like 20 minutes, it's freakish.
Poor NYC has to deal with Reggie Watts now. SOOOOO glad he's not here to annoy all of us anymore, but poor New York. On behalf of Seattle, I apologize to the kind folks of the big apple.
I second the Other Music recommendation! Try to get to the Market in Union Square over the weekend too!!
Thanks guys!
A recap, part 1 With Digital ID World in the books as a success, I always like to take a look back at "what I learned." As an organizer of the conference, Digital ID World is always a whirlwind experience for me, but I find that as I look back
