GradedOnACurve Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Theres a breakdown of the record stores you are asking about in the OP. If you only have a few hours any other dos should be near the area you're hanging out in, so that depends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Shit i should probably have looked. My bad. Im going to be in jersey for work but getting in a day early so taking the train to the city. Figure might as well just go to the best place to do the most cool things. Dont have to do the whole "times square and other touristy things" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Probably are going to have time for stuff in Manhattan vs. Brooklyn. If you hit up Generation Records you could also check Other Music and stuff like Peanut Butter & Co, Artichoke, and various bars in the area. Theres a lot to do in that area.

Twistedshabazz Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 That sounds good to me. Thanks for the tips. I have heard great things about other music. I have friends who live in nyc but the whole its a tuesday and they have a job thing gets in the way of them showing me around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 No prob. That area has Washington Square Park and Union Square is not too far from there. Union Square is more touristy than it used to be but its not bad. Stand Bookstore is in between both parks on Broadway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'll be in NYC this Friday to next Tuesday and y'all have given me a few good ideas for things to do outside of the things we've already planned on doing. I'm going for "least touristy first visit to NYC ever." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 haha just stay away from Empire State, Times Square, 5th Avenue, 7th Avenue... Midtown in general... and you're on the right track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 if you want to do one touristy thing, go to the world trade observation deck. not sure how much it costs since i was lucky enough to check it out before it was fully public- probably like $30 or so. but it was just so damn cool. also, smorgasburg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusted_By_Space Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I was wondering if someone could help me out. We wanna stay in lower Manhattan without driving into the city. Anybody have any good suggestions for overnight parking in Staten Island close to the ferry? Or anywhere that I can catch a train relatively close by and leave the car for two nights?

What are you willing to Pay? Pay lots in Newark and Secaucus abound. NJ Transit is easy. It will save some dough over the NYC parking. Newark has a few cheap lots but couldn't name them. I just know where they are near the station. Secaucus has gone up in price but is super convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksleap Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 You can park on the street in Staten Island right next to the ferry for free if you don't mind walking a couple blocks. There's a police precinct right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a police precinct right there. This is true. Unless there is a nice AirBnB in the area (there should be) there is no hotel in the area you could pay me to stay in. There's probably more to do in Weehawken and Hoboken is right next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Also I'm leaving my nice little Bensonhurst nook to move to Bay Ridge in two weeks. Anyone else here in Bay Ridge or am I still grasping at straws hoping someone else here lives in southern Brooklyn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably more to do in Weehawken and Hoboken is right next door.There is no chance I would stay in that neighborhood but leaving my car is a different story. It's the hardest borough to get around if you plan on staying. I've spent many days stumbling around the ridge but I keep moving further and further away from that bridge. So unless I'm getting cupcakes for my wife or hitting paneantico for lunch I usually just drive on through. Nice place to live though.
