Alright so next Thursday I'm leaving for NYC with my gf.
5 nights in NYC
3 nights in Philly
To gm's who live there, near or traveled there:
Other than the obvious landmarks, what should I make sure to see and do? I need ideas. What are some clubs that there is less than a 1,000:1, Black:Cracker ratio, that are good? What is the best place to eat at in little Italy? Where can I find Andy's wife?
Any other advice?

Well, if he thinks every club is in NYC is for black people someone lied his ass off to him.
It all depends on what you want to do.
In Philly, bar-hopping is a must in Old City. Try a bar called Eulogy, especially if you like to try beer all over the world. They've got like a 6 page menu on beer, and usually have rare beers on tap. If this is your first time in Philly, try Geno's and Pat's cheesteaks located in South Philly, while most people who live in the area don't consider them to be the best cheesesteaks in Philly(and I'll agree) they are the most famous and are worth a visit at least once.
In NYC, I mean the choice is your. Like you said, besides the obvious landmarks there's an infinite amount of selections. Pacha in NYC is probably the obvious choice for club , has it's good nights and bad nights though. Um, CheapShots located on the lower East Side is a great place to start off the night with cheap ass drink specials.
As far as restaurants there are plenty I can give you, just let me know what you guys are into..

I was just saying refer me to a good club that is not ALL Black or ALL Reggaeton. I never said anything about how all clubs are for black people.
What is some cheap, free shit I can do while in NYC? I heard the Staten Island Ferry is free and the observatory in the Empire state building also. Anything else?
In little Italy what is the best restaurant that is somewhat reasonably priced? $20-30 a person? What about in the Times Square area?
How strict are they about underage drinking in NYC? Down south alot of places don't really give a shit because they make the most of their money from alcohol sales. I know Boston is really strict about it though.

Down south alot of places don't really give a shit because they make the most of their money from alcohol sales. I know Boston is really strict about it though. LOL I don't think there is such a thing as cheap free shit in NYC, lol. Yeah the Staten Island Ferry is free, but Staten Island sucks, although the New York Harbor view is semi-decent. The empire state building observatory isn't free. You have to pay I think like $20 for tickets. Don't be fooled with Little Italy. Most of the good Italian restaurants can be found OUTSIDE of Little Italy. Il Palazzo is probably the best though if you really want to go to Little Italy. Average price is around your range.. like $20 per person. Times Square is flooded with mostly Fridays and other "chain" restaurants and is extremely overly priced, though, if you are into Spanish food and want a nice cool chill spot to take your girl(trust me it's a dope spot) take her to Havana Central. It's by Times Square on I think 46th between 6th and 7th. Depending on what night you go though, you'll probably need a reservation, don't be worried though it isn't overly expensive but like most restaurants in NYC and especially by Times Square it is pricer than normal. Any major city is extremely strict about underage drinking. I mean if you're under 21 chances of getting into a club in NYC are slim to none, same goes for Philly. |

Martinez basically summed it up
If you stay downtown you should be good club wise. In the city i don't think the word cheap exists. Everything in NYC is pricey. Pachas is good but dont get there too late unless you know someone whose getting you in at the door. LQ's is good too. They got a little bit of everything. I went to a club called providence a couple of weeks ago that wasnt bad. There's clubs everywhere though. I'll give you my number through PM just in case
