This city is awesome. I love the food, the bars, the women. New York is the largest city in the world and the best one, too! Don't ever doubt it! This is my guide to the big hot spots in Manhattan. 212 forever! New York is #1!

Hard Rock Cafe

1501 Broadway Three, New York, NY 10036

I took my brother and sister here once. They had never been to New York before, and thought it was awesome. Yeah, it’s very touristy, but there’s only one in New York. With a lot of rock monuments gone in the city, it’s one of the few places you can still look at memorabilia like John Lennon’s “New York City” t-shirt. I recommend the Big Blue Burger. Rock on!

Curry In A Hurry

119 Lexington Ave Frnt, New York, NY 10016

This place is great for quality Indian food, that is completely inexpensive. My roommates and I started going here when we first moved, and haven’t regretted it since! Get the Chicken Tandoori combo and orde up some extra Nan. One meal is enough for two people. My girlfriend works near my apartment, and we hit this place up often when we want to see each other over dinner.

The New York Yankees!

Twenty-six World Championships don’t lie!

Ol’ Blue Eyes may be from Jersey, but he always loved New York more. He was my grandfather’s favorite. When I was kid, we would sit and listen to his records for hours. Sinatra is everything about New York: class, style, great music. Whenever the Yankees win, they play “New York, New York” in the Stadium. You can’t ever go wrong with Frankie.

Coyote Ugly

153 First Avenue, New York, NY 10003

It’s not the exactly like in the movie, but the bartendresses are hot and they do dance on the bar. It’s great. If you’ve got a bachelor party coming up, or a frat reunion, swing by Coyote and get a shot. Make sure you put the single guys up front.

Essex

120 Essex Street, New York, NY 10002

The brunch here is great and the parties they throw on Saturday nights can’t be beat! Before I became a pretty much married man, my boys and I used to come here all the time. The bar is reasonably priced, but the selection of females is way better.

Alphabet Lounge

104 Avenue Centre, New York, NY 10009

It’s take forever to get to Avenue C and it’s ten dollars at the door, but the DJ and the crowd are awesome at Alphabet Lounge! My crew and I are here regularly to party and have fun. I may have a girlfriend, but I can still cut loose and make sure to call her before I head home.

The Met is one of the largest art museums in the world and it features over two million pieces of art. I took my girlfriend here on our fourth date for an exhibit on Gustav Courbett. We shared our first kiss out front.

AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13

1998 Broadway New York, NY 10023

I love good movies and at AMC Loews, you can see some of the best flicks in the city – or you can see the big hits on IMAX. Right after I moved here, I saw Superman Returns on IMAX. It was an awesome way to get introduced to seeing movies in New York.

 

Why I Love New York

I love New York City, because it’s a city built on the human spirit. It’s the only place in this country that evolves with the people who live in it. In New York, you’re constantly challenged to do your best and never give up. That’s why this is home to some of the world’s best: the sports, the culture, the people. I can’t imagine living anywhere else and that why I want to share my love of this town with the whole world.

Love This New York...

Dude…

Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Everyone’s always trash-talking Mayor Mike, BUT YOU TRY BEING IN CHARGE OF THIS CITY! I think he’s pretty cool. I met him once at charity banquet my firm had over Christmas. We shook hands and got to talk for a few minutes. My dad always told me “A guy with a good handshake knows how to get things done.” GO MAYOR MIKE!

Jackson Hole Restaurant

521 3rd Ave Frnt, New York, NY 10016

The best burger in Murray Hill. Any place where Radcliffe alumni hang out on the weekends is a favorite place of mine.

Apple Store

767 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10153

It’s open 24 hours to meet your needs. One time, I was working on a contract and my hard drive crashed at 11:30 at night. So awesome that I was able to take it to the Genius Bar that same night and get my Mac back up online. I lost sleep, but didn’t disappoint my client.

Murray Hill! My neighborhood!

When I moved here, I was so bummed because of all the older people (it’s like living with my grandmother). But the neighborhood steadily began to grow on me. After a long week, I like a place where I can wake up, step out to grab a bagel and a paper and hear more or less silence (by New York’s standards). I still live with my same three roommates in an awesome four bedroom. Murray Hill has some great bars and restaurants and it’s not too far from all the nightlife of Midtown or downtown. If you’re ever here, I’ll give you a tour!
