Things to do in New York at Christmas

[Dauphin]

I'm in New York City for about a week (15th - 20th) before I head to Connecticut for Christmas with the family. Need some suggestions for some good places to visit, particularly of an evening - bars, restaurants and the rest.

What do you good folks recommend?

[Alexander's Horse]

I know a few things to do in Denver when you are dead.

There are whole books full of such recommendations. It might help if you tell us what sort of food, bars, and entertainment interest you. Will you be traveling alone or with a wife and kids, etc...

You're going to the crappy part of New York

New York City is the butthole of the ass that is New York.

Utah, my home state, has a similar slogan: At least we ain't Wyoming!

ACK!

I've been to Utah once and I actually thought it was kinda nice.

I will go to Grand Central, buy a ticket and got to Connecticut.

Anything. I'm interested in knowing anything that isn't book advertised, per se. Places that people have been and thought "Oh, that place is nice". Personal recommendations from your own esoteric point of view.

I would probably go to Rochester at some point if you can get a ferry across the lake from Toronto and I lose my senses. Or I have to visit my sister-in-law.

Oh, and Provost Harrison has contrived to be in NYC for a few days as well at the same time.

Tell me if you do. There's a very good restaurant in town called Sticky Lips BBQ.

Although at Christmastime I am liable to be out of town.

I'm probably going to be in NYC at some point in December, before Christmas.

If you want to get to Rochester from Toronto the best way is driving. Also, if I recall correctly, flights are actually really cheap. But yeah it's only a 3 hour drive or so, barring difficulty on the border.
