get yourself over to water taxi beach

bloody brilliant

beer
sun
house music
sand
view of manhattan

down on east 35th street near the UN Building

if you are looking for something in the evenings, then the event below should be pretty good, at the Hudson Hotel which is a Phillip Starck hotel

http://www.giantstep.net/events/1013

you can RSVP on that web page and get in for free, there is also an excellent roof garden at the Hudson so you can have a drink and a smoke at the same time.

Needless to say I am pretty jealous, I love new york, been twice already this year and hope to go again before the end of the year.

Ideally would like to move there in the end

You should meet up for lunch with mehro

Now that I've suggested it, it'd be incredibly rude not to

Go to a good steak house, Peter Luger's in Brooklyn or Smith & Wollensky's in Manhattan

Not to be missed

I was there for the best part of 13 years and at the end I was desperate to leave. Now Im contemplating going back as this country is definitely not the one I left all those years ago.

Ah well such is life!

Totally agree about Luger's but you look like you are about to throw up in that pic.

hey all, just thought i'd kill some time before going to a bar to watch the NFL tonight.

I went to Nevada smiths yesterday for the soccer, cracking place. if you're in NYC when the soccer is on I suggest you watch the games there.

Yeah you might get a few dirty looks and some not so nice remarks from some Jets fans if you start cheering for the Chargers in New York. Best of luck to you and have a good time drinking.
