The OTHER Pre-Torronocon: NY
Lines:
Since I don't want to have the Toronto thread cluttered with talk about New York, this is where we can plan for it, if anyone is interested in venturing out to New York this March. I will be out from the 26th through the 29th (Wednesday-Saturday), but I'll be going up with a bunch of people from school, so my schedule is pretty flexible as to when I can hang out. I'm taking a bus, too, so we're leaving for NY Tuesday night and leaving from NY Saturday night, so anytime between those two days is awesome.
So...I've never been to New York! Feel free to make recommendations of what's worthwhile!

Well if you're going I hear its customary to see Times Square and a show on Broadway, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Statue of Liberty, but I didn't go to any of those while I was there last time. I'd like to go to the Met this time if its possible though, I hear from my Dad whose a stingy bastard that you can technically pay only a buck to get in as long as you don't mind the dirty looks from the people working there.
Ballard:
I'm sorry Phil, but those are some terrible suggestions. Sure, the Met is cool if you like art. As well as the Museum of Modern Art, the Frick Collection, the Guggenheim Museum, etc.
But FUCK Times Square. And FUCK broadway plays as a tourist attraction. I've seen plenty just cause I love Broadway plays but they're not good enough to spend a fair portion of your time here on. Also they're expensive.
The Statue of Liberty is disappointingly small in person and fucking boring. It's nicer to look at in photos. The Empire State Building is dirty, boring, has a two hour long line, and the observatory deck is so high up all you can see it tiny yellow taxi cabs.
I can show you guys fun, interesting, creative New York instead.
Lines:
I will be going to the art museums, because I'm an art student, but I can save those for when I'm with my meatlife friends, so we can do fun, interesting, creative stuff!
(And I have no money for Broadway and Times Square/Statue can also be saved for non-NYers if we even feel like doing it.)
Boro_Bandito:
Or we can leave little mister not liking one of the greatest collections of historic art butt behind and go see the Met without him. I want to see the fucking Metropolitan Museum of Art god damnit. And I'd like to See Times Square at least at night so I can see all the pretty lights and tall buildings in person, we don't have to go to a show, I've heard how hard it is to get tickets to anything good and that the lines are incredibly long. I didn't really want to see the Statue of Liberty, but small? come on dude, its huge for a statue, its the largest in the world isn't it?
