NYC Recs from a True New Yorker (I was born in Staten Island)

Manyyyy good recs have been made already, but here are a few that I feel strongly about: Coffee: -SEY Coffee is the best in the city by far. Incredible pour overs and espresso. I used to go there every day when I lived in Bushwick. -For a true old school cup, Porto Rico is great. The one on Bleecker has been there since 1958 and is great. No place to sit inside however. Pool: -Amsterdam Billards is the stand-by billiard hall! a little pricey but I like it Dayspa: - (Cheap) Wall Street Bath & Spa - (Not-Cheap) Bathhouse in Williamsburg Parks + Cemeteries (besides the glorious Central Park): -Madison Square Park is great for a classic NY-feel. Go to S&P Lunch for sandwiches and eat in the park on a nicer day. -In Brooklyn both McCarren Park and McGolrick Park are great - Ray's and Twins Lounge are nearby for drinks as well. -Green-wood Cemetery is sprawling and scenic. -Avoid Maria Hernandez Park at all costs.

The Hamptons

A general rule of life is that whatever is regarded as gaudy, and douchey is probably really fun and awesome. (Ex: fast loud cars, midtown Manhattan clubs, extremely expensive cocktails.)The Hamptons is a short 2 hour drive, or ride on the Hampton Jitney from the city. Get some friends together, rent an Airbnb, and make the trip.So why don’t my contemporaries make the trip? Mostly to keep up appearances amongst their lib friend groups that no, they don’t enjoy sitting on the beach and sipping wine, they prefer sitting adjacent to the currently jerking off homeless guy in quote-on-quote Dimes Square. And no, they don’t enjoy linens and kitten heels, and no they don’t like oysters, and no they don’t enjoy bonfires, used book stores, sex on the beach, pretending to be rich, renting convertibles, overpriced cocktails, and drunkenly stumbling through cobblestone streets.NO!? You don’t like that stuff? Go get lobotomized because you’re obviously a violent threat to society.But if you do—please make the trip out to the Hamptons during the dog days of summer. DO IT. Let your annoying friends rot in the pisshole that is dimes square. Go have fun.

Big TVs

Living in the city amongst broke 20-somethings for so long has made me forget about Big Ass TVs. But whenever you go to somebody's crib with a TV over 70 inches, you think “Wow, this is dope.”“It’s fine I'll just watch it on my laptop.”Trust me. It’s not.Pairs well with: Sport Betting

Renaissance Fairs

Renaissance fairs cost like $40 for admission. With that you get to spend all day with your buddies walking around a sort of ratchet medieval town. A mix of disney, Pirates of the Caribbean, and a nice dose of traveling methhead carny. I went to one a few weeks ago 40 minutes outside of LA. A couple beers on the drive over, a buzzball in the parking lot and some shooters in your pockets to avoid the taxed prices of drinks inside and you’re good to go. Have so much fun.
