NYC: Suggestions for a single woman travelling alone on biz?
hypnotic68
I've travelled throughout the U.S., but never to NYC. Would like any recommendations on nightlife... I really do not want to be stuck in my hotel room.
Answer
I went in May with a friend for 4 days then I was on my own for 4 days. I loved it, and I was never scared to be walking alone even at night. The night before I came home, I took a subway out to brooklyn and then walked across the brooklyn bridge about midnight.
If you have some time and want to shop at some really cool places, try soho. Some of the shops there are one of a kind littl :gallery" type stores. China town is great too.
Nightlife (From a new yorker I was emailing right before I left) I had asked him for bars that take you back to a different era - like you stepped out of time. I didn't want the same kind of bars I could see at home. Here are his suggestions:
If you want to hear jazz, avoid the Blue Note -- a very
pricey tourist trap. Check Birdland -- it's a nice
spot, depending upon who's playing.
Bemelmens Bar at the Hotel Carlyle. It's an
old-style piano bar that it is a lovely trip back in
time. There's probably a cover and the drinks won't
be cheap, but you'll feel as if you've stepped into the
1940s.
Joe's Pub is a great little night spot. It's at the
Public Theatre (home of the New York Shakespeare
Festival, the "Shakespeare in the Park" folks) on
Lafayette. Check their website to see who's playing
http://joespub.com/caltool/index.cfm (I went there to see laurie Anderson and I wasn't impressed with her, but the bar was okay. Get there early and get the seat you want.
If you want a dive bar with some history, try Marie's
Crisis in the Village (59 Grove St, just off Seventh
Avenue. It's a seedy little joint that's been there
for decades. There's a piano, and the mostly gay
crowd sings show tunes. I'm not gay, and I'm not that fond
of show tunes, and yet I found this place charming
(I only recently went for the first time -- I've been
meaning to go forever, but waited till I had a friend
with me). It's beyond shopworn, but somehow I liked
it.
Nearby, Chumley's bar is an old speakeasy. It still
has no sign, but you'll find it at 86 Bedford Street.
Another cool old bar is McSorley's, which has been
in operation at its current location since -- wait for
it -- 1862 (they didn't even admit women into the joint
until 1970). Its on the north side of East 7th Street
between Second and Third Avenues.
The Ear Inn has been at 326 Spring St since the
early 19th century and is a must-visit for fans of old
bars.
The Old Town Bar on East 18th Street between Broadway
and Park Avenue South is another worthy establishment
-- been in operation since just before the turn of the last century.
Another venerable spot, the White Horse Tavern, has
been at Hudson Street and West 11th since the 1870s.
Dylan Thomas got drunk there the night he died.
A spot I've walked by and meant to check out but
never patronized is Swing 46, which features Forties-style
jazz and swing (with dancing). It's in midtown on,
you guessed it, 46th Street. Here's the website:
