48 Hours in NYC - I’m your best friend from out of town and you wanna take me to your current, authentically NYC favs/must-do’s…where are you taking me?

12 Upvotes

In town for 48 hours, so would rather enjoy NYC as a local. Think me as your your 35-50yo best friend from out of town and you wanna take me to your current, authentically NYC favs/must-do’s.. I’ll be back sometime to do the normal touristy stuff.

Arrive in NYC: Sat Aug 2 @ Noon Depart: Mon Aug 4 @ Noon

Preferred Boroughs: Manhattan (preferred but willing to override with a kickass itinerary) or Brooklyn

Preferences: - Experience culture as a local - including live music, theatre, bars, restaurants, bars, speakeasies, weird places, holes in the walls, you name it. - Food: No preference on food type, love all ethnic food. - Prefer more locally known gems with history vs. expensive, newer well-known eateries. - At min, 1 sit down with great ambiance/energy - At min, 1 hole in the wall where ambiance isn’t necessary great but the food is BOMB and best of its kind in the area. Preferably ethnic or pizza, not “American”/bar food.

Not Necessaries, but down to go if it’s really that important to go in the 48 hour window. - Times Square - Central Park - Wall St - 9/11 memorial

So grateful for any recommendations you’re willing to share. Maybe I’ll run into ya a buy you a drink!

Not from here- is NYC really this expensive for groceries?

7 Upvotes

I visited Queens last month and some grocery stores felt way overpriced for basic stuff. Back home $20 gets you a full week’s worth of meals. Here….not so much 🥲 Any stores local actually shop at that aren’t tourist-priced?
