    I went back in 07 and was emailed the following bits of advice

    This was from Fran who used to be teh AM at FullTilt

    Restaurants

    Freeman’s (LES)
    Chinatown Brasserie (E Vill/Soho)
    Billeboquet (UES)
    STK (Meatpacking)
    Gemmia in Bowery Hotel (E Vill/Soho)
    Socialista
    Fredricks Downtown
    Spotted Pig
    Primehouse
    Allan & Delancey

    Bars

    The Randolph at Broome
    Roof at Gramercy Park Hotel
    Goldbar
    The Anchor

    Clubs

    The Box

    And this from Ron at grandbilliards.com/ who kindly wrote out an entire schedule for me!

    Friday:

    Restaurant: Tao – 42 East 58th street. Same owners as Tao in vegas and very similar, great bar to have a few drinks in as well

    Club/Bar: Box – This is a new place, one of the hottest NY places now. 189
    Chrystie street between Rivington & Stanton street, Lower East Side.

    Saturday:

    Restaurant: Pastis: Its a French (Bistro). 9th Avenue, Little W. 12th st. I would make reservations a day in advanced, the number is 212-929-4844. This restaurant is in the Meatpacking District, which is an amazing area with lots of hotels, bars and clubs. Its very NY trendy, so you should call a day before to get a table.

    Bar: Gansevoort Hotel: This is right in front of the restaurant Pastis. 9th Avenue (Meatpacking District). Its a hotel with a bar on the roof top, nice place to have a drink.

    Buddha Bar: This is around the corner from Pastis (Meatpacking District), 17 Little West 12th street. Great place, one of my favorite NY bars/clubs.

    Additional clubs if you are interested:

    Pink Elephant: One of the hottest clubs in NY, small, but very European. 527 West 27th street, around 10th Avenue. Shouldn’t be a problem for you to get it, if you are with your girlfriend.

    Marquee: Big club with several rooms. Its close to Pink Elephant, there are a lot of clubs in that area. 289 10th Avenue (around 26th and 27th street). I really like this place. They may give you trouble at the door, but not always.

    There is so much one can do and Manhattan is big; it depends what you like;

    In the list below,
    – buddha bar is a great spot;
    – pastis; classic french restaurant; for connoisseurs, a Woody Allen was shot there;

    cheap accommodation; I have been searching that since 1985. Please let me know if you see one, lol; ok more seriously YMCA; cheaper can be found also; around Time Square or in the boroughs.

    secrets; just walk all over the place; I assume you are a male (?) single(?); spot Japanese female tourists (in pair) and be their friends; make friends with other tourists right away; :inlove:

    where are you from originally? New york tends to be either very very cold, or very hot and humid.
