I know this sort of thing has been covered in many a thread before, but in light of the board re-boot I can't go back and look up everyone's comments. I'm in NYC for six more days, and I'm wondering if anybody has recommendations for non-obvious awesome things to do in the city. I'm not looking for comedy recommendations specifically, just things that New York natives always make sure to show their friends when they visit. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Evolution in Soho.
Superhero Supply Store in Brooklyn.
Museum of Modern Art near Times Square.
I just moved here but I really like Alex Grey's Chapel of Sacred Mirror's it's only $5 too. http://www.cosm.org/
go check out those crappy man-made waterfalls in the east river before it's too late!

I was just there a couple weeks ago to see the Feelies play at Maxwell's in Hoboken.
I had always wanted to try an egg cream, and had a very nice one at the Gem Spa in the East Village.
Weird -- I just logged on to check this thread, and I'm sitting in a bar 100 feet from there. I guess I'll go get an egg cream.Originally Posted by Jawa
I heard the night life is amazing!
Formally Max Geinachoff.
Oh, heavenly delight. You are awesome.
Looking at this list, I realize that unless there's a show in town, the only thing I ever do in NYC is work, go to a meeting there, or go to Randall's island to watch the Puerto Ricans and the Dominicans play baseball/softball.
Therefore, here is my crappy suggestion: Chelsea Piers, even if you don't anything sports-related there, it's still nice and you can just stay in that area and find something to do.
Estoy jodida...
You can get a personalized tour of Troma studios in Hells Kitchen. Just send a email to here, tourguide@troma.com, to confirm a time of day and enjoy the organized chaos
Troma's World Headquarters is at 36-40 11th Street, Long Island City, NY 11106.
Can I Get a Tour of the Troma Building?
As we are a working operation, we ask those who wish to visit the Troma Building to schedule a tour in advance with our tour guide, who will gladly take you through the sounds, the smells and the history that is Troma Entertainment. Tours usually last about ten to fifteen minutes, and are available Mondays through Fridays between 12PM and 6PM.
Oh man. My ex used to work at Troma. Not much to see there. But hey you might run into Lloyd Kaufman or maybe Ron Jeremy, he used to hang out there a lot.
do not do this. i have, it's really not worth the time or trouble. for a preview of this unremarkable activity, click here.

Take that, shitty economy!
Now everyone stay home and watch TV.
The Deep Fried Calzone.
yes, it's true. At a place called Sal's at the corner of Mott and Broom, there's a tiny little place straight from foodie heaven. When you order a calzone, they'll ask, "baked or fried?"
awwwww yeah!
it's called a staycation, thank you very much!
Yeah, on second thought, don't - it will take you a staggering 30-45 minutes (with all the pain and suffering that entails), and you will only get the shitty view of Manhattan and see the boooring bridge up close.
dang, i didn't think everyone would be on my side on this one. keep spreading the good word, guys.
