Going to NYC next week with the wife....

Carmine's is awesome, Italian food, near Times Square....

Ton of food for the money

You don't have enough time to get reservations at a nice place..

And don't spend more than 2 minutes in time square

corner bistro

Time Square is going to be a bitch to get out of. Most touristy things are within walking distance of Time Square, as is Central Park (which is good for you because getting a cab in Time Square is nearly impossible).

Go to Lombardi's Pizzeria while you're there. You can take the Subway up to just a few blocks from it. Very very good.

I'm sure hotels are high there... Not worth it IMO.

Yeah, definitely high. Probably not worth it, but a cool place to stay.

It's worth it for being in such a central location with all the big touristy stuff around you. The weekends are an absolute bitch though, being that the place just gets overrun with massive crowds and is nearly impossible to navigate.

Yep. It's terrible. But everyone should see it.

I took an express train to Harlem by mistake(which isn't a big deal it's not like a warzone) I was scared at the time.. Turns out I got to my stop faster going that way and passing up my stop turning around and coming back than taking a local train.

Take the Staten Island ferry instead of a tour, It used to be only a couple of bucks. There is a great steak house across the street from the Garden, GREAT Steak ! Forgot the name, maybe Peter Lugers? Not sure. Go to the ticket exchange in Times Square for tickets to a play, always good seats.
