So I'm planning a trip to ol' New York. Mostly going to be meeting up with people, but I feel like I haven't been there in a long time and have no idea what to check out so I thought I'd ask for people's favorite eats, places, etc. (Have we had this discussion already? I feel like we mostly, and with good cause, rip on NYC.)

Trip 1: (not noteworthy, went with family, I was twelve)
Trip 2: free, three-night stay in NYC as a sixteen year old because, oh, you know, I won a Seventeen Magazine makeover contest. Yes, my big fat face was in the magazine.
Trip 3: my high school choir flew to NYC to sing in Carnegie Hall because we won a grammy! Who knew HS choirs could win grammies?
I was a dorky HS kid.
Matt is going to NYC at the end of the month because he's screening at MoMA for the second time in two years!!!! Pretty hot shit.
Get Flossy Drunk!!
