Going to NY on monday with a friend of mine.. I was originally going for a wedding but decided on bringing along a friend who has never been there.
We will be in NY until sept 8th.
I guess a day or two will be spent on touristy stuff for my friend, and most of that stuff is fun even if you've seen it before..
Last time I was in NY was jan 99, for a funeral that time so I didn't have that much time for "fun" stuff. Even though I've been in NY plenty of times this is my first time when 1) I have plenty of time and 2) I'm of legal drinking age (I'm 26)
So can anyone give me some tips on:
I'll be staying with a relative in Brooklyn, but IIRC mass transit isn't a problem in NY so we should be able to travel freely.

So can anyone give me some tips on:
- "Must see" places, stuff that's changed since 99. (Not counting the obvious GZ)
- Good restaurants
- Good bars
- Good karaoke bars
- Good night clubs
- Good places to shop for dvds (if it's ok in after hours, this is not a bargain thread though!)
- Good places to do general shopping.
- Are there any local HTF-meets going on? I met some HTF-people in LA-01, drop me a PM if you want to go out for a beer some day
- anything I've missed
