I was in New York last week on business, stayed in Mid Town Manhattan off of
51st and Lexington - right by the E and the 6.  I had never been but found
it really easy to get around and go.  Word is that people from NY are rude
and perhaps they are, I found them to just always be in a rush and generally
curt, but I wouldn't say rude.

Most of you don't care but I flew into JFK and took the E train to Manhattan
from Jamaica Queens.  I say this because I was wary of the subway but really
it's just a bus underground.  If you can find a cross street and a map you
shouldn't be truly lost, just keep a level head.  I guess there are sketchy
parts but I had zero problem below Central Park past midnight on the nights
I was out.

I came in on a Sunday and left on a Thursday.  This is the wrong part of the
week for partying as everything I found to do party wise was mostly on the
weekend, especially in mid-town.  If kicking it in a bar is your thing then
any night is good...

Take the 6 or the V train to the East Village and check out Dance Tracks.  I
walked in, asked what was going on in the area and was pointed to several
clubs and undergrounds for later in the week.  It was my bad for going
earlier but if you're there on the weekend you should find plenty to do.

(Oh, there's this great little Basque restaurant for tapas and the like one
street over on 4th - Euskadi -http://www.euzkadirestaurant.com/)
