hudsoncomplex Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm undecided on the show but my office is pretty close to the Bowery if you want to meet Friday afternoon for a walking lunch and stop at Generation. Grab a moumons falafel and walk over there. Sounds good, Dave. I land at 11:25 at Newak, so hopefully we can make it work timing wise. We have an extra ticket for the Satuday show if you're at all interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think I have a race that Saturday. I also have an ex attending the show that I'm not sure I want to spend significant time with. Ha ha. I take a pretty late lunch most days but if interested in a couple hours walking and a couple record shops I can stay in the city a bit later and hang in the early evening. Where are you staying?

rooks Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 staying right by the 30th ave n/q stop. do you know if there are any late night vegetarian places in that area? rad bars are cool too. i assume we'll be buying groceries for late night eats. Oh sweet, great location. I've got a friend that lives right there too. I'll ask him about vegetarian places, I'm more of a meatatarian myself.. But you should Yelp for some info on that, there's a ton of places I'm sure there's a few places known for veggies. Lots of bars/restaurants/brunch places in a 5 block radius of where you're staying. You should have no problem going for a lovely Astoria stroll and running into plenty of things to do if you don't head into the city one day.

collectivemike Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Dreamover... I know you just asked about veggie options, and I don't really have any of those... But if you/your gf eats meat check out the Strand Smokehouse in Astoria. Great BBQ. Sides are good too but I don't know if a non-meat eater can make a full meal out of em..

suchashorttime Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 what's everyone's upcoming show list in nyc? there's some good stuff in the next few months, and if there's opportunity for a hang, i'm down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejesseb Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 So Im taking a road trip to Boston next month and am gonna be stopping through NYC, most of my time is being taken up by a tattoo appointment but is there anything you guys would recommend to take up 4-5 hours in the city? Food places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thera some suggestions in the OP. Also depends what you want and what part of the city you're going to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vialister Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 This is going to come in useful when I visit NYC before fest. I know its months away but if any good shows are on just before, I'd love to head to one! You're all lucky to live in / so close to it! Edit : Easily going to do the Brooklyn brewery tour / head to brooklyn bowl after. Stupid question but what time does the subway stop or is it 24 hours?

Edit : Easily going to do the Brooklyn brewery tour / head to brooklyn bowl after. Stupid question but what time does the subway stop or is it 24 hours? There will hopefully be some good shows before Fest as the CMJ festival happened about a week or two before and usually has some good shows. Also bands may tour down to or back from Fest. As for public transportation in NYC in general it's 24 hours. It's the city that doesn't sleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeconspiracy Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 hey guys. me and my girl are heading to NYC from june 4 (wed) to june 9 (monday) for governors ball. we're staying in astoria and want to check out record stores, book stores, breweries (or good beer bars), vegan food, and the touristy stuff. (my first time in NYC for longer than 48 hours and my girlfriend's first time ever). we got tickets to seth meyers for thursday (5) too. I'm definitely taking some of the recommendations from the first page into account (thanks driveby!). If anyone has any more specific recommendations, that'd be awesome too. Wouldn't mind seeing some comedy at the UCB or something. If there's anything we must-see (even if it's stereotypical tourist stuff) that's relatively cheap, i wanna know. late to the party, but in terms of vegan fare, i highly recommend caravan of dreams (also union square area). i'm not vegan by any means, but have a bit of a love affair with their seitan tacos. apparently they're also moby-approved. hard to argue with that....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
