Not to hijack the thread, but how much do you guys personally spend when you go to NY and how long do you stay?
Not to sound cliche but i think there is a NY for everybody
Regular hotel or four seasons?
Chicken and rice or Per Se?
Uniqlo or Bergdorf?
Rear mezzanine or Front orchestra?
On a side note, the $20 entrance fee at the Met is recommened. If you are shameless like me you can get in for a dollar.
Also, for the OP, check out a jazz club like birdland or bluenote. My new favorite is Jazz at lincoln center. Woody allen and his band plays at the carlyle hotel on monday nights, the cover is a little more expensive tho.
