So I’m gonna be goin to New York for the first time mid-January next year.

I’m going primarily for Yams Day but since I’ll be there the whole week I was hopin y’all could help me with things to do.

I’m 22 and and I’m a LA nigga so I’m trynna find like places to go where I can meet baddies and enjoy a crowd that likes hip hop/urban stuff so please don’t tell me to go to no hipster places like Williamsburg or watever

As someone who spent most of my life there

New York City is dead, it's an over sterilized corporate big box retail s*** hole.

NY's real image is itself from the early 1970's to the early 1990's.

Ok this cool nd all but I’m still gonna go anyway

What should I do out there/visit/bars to hit up??

Rats n overpopulation

Williamsburg and the outskirts of nyc are where you'll find what you're looking for

ride a citibike though

go to the bars on the Lower East Side (pianos, hair of the dog). in brooklyn theres a lot of cool places like Nowadays in Ridgewood

theres clubs if youre into that

hit up the MoMA and the MET and the history museum if youre into that

definitely explore central park, smoke a joint on the great lawn

plenty of good food too

Go to Dyckman papi

Is u for real oh Is u trynna set me up?

Hell yea this a must do for Me

Thank you for this I appreciate and will take these places into consideration.

Also I am a male Of African American descent, do places u listed have people like me who frequent these places?

Definitely check out Soho and some rooftop bars/ shisha spots

Too many to name. I liked the hell's kitchen's bar scene though it's probably not the best one.

Uhhhhhhh visit times square hit up the guy fieris joint any b****es in there are fiends and probably dont mind the taste of nut if they eatin guy's food

Go down to Hunts Point in the Bronx. Beautiful views and great atmosphere

Lmao bro it’s nyc. Nobody will look at you funny anywhere in this city no matter where you are. You will have black people everywhere you go.

I’ll comment later with recommendations

Hit the fashion stores in Soho and Moma.

LMAOO , why you tryna set up my guy for ?? hunts point is dirt

If you’re going to NYC, the one thing you need to do is get food. Like, just get food. Not at chains or any s***. Just any type of food. Lot of people don’t realize food tourism is one of the main points of tourism here. Like, the food itself is an attraction. It’s what people here do, we eat lol
Look up the best restaurants for the type of food you like, we have virtually everything, or look up cheap eats, or late night eats, or anything else like that. You’ll always find something

Nah he was planning on fasting all week :p

Drum and bass parties >

they all burning tho

Unless you know the right crowd or have money I agree. Only reason I enjoy visiting is because my uncle covers all expenses

go to soho

nowadays is diverse, pianos is also very diverse. hair of the dog is kinda white

im latino so i know what u mean

you could also go to dyckman which is uptown for more latino vibes
