Hi Hexers

I will be visiting the Big Apple, New Yawk, which is what Midwesterners call NYC despite not knowing the context for the nickname no one uses in the first place.

So far I have:

✅️ whistling and yelling TAXI at my ubers while looking at my invisible wristwatch holding a briefcase with nothing in it.

✅️ having an authentic nyc pizza at Sbarro (I'm a bit of a foodie)

✅️ setting myself on fire at the Times Square M&Ms store, screaming "your false chocolate idols will not save you from the inevitable collapse of capitalism"

✅️ going to a real new york BOw-DE-Ga where they still use sticker pricing guns

✅️ watching the sunset shift change from squirrels to rats from Central Perk

Can anyone suggest some actual ideas plz.

I'll accept joke / bit answers too but ask that you balance them with an actual idea. Bonus if they get me out of Midtown/ Lower East Side.

For reference i've been to the city a lot, and all the to-do lists are normie reddit tier terrible foodie rehash.

      Wow Thanks for the lengthy list of suggestions. I've only been to the musuem of sex and Katz on this list.

      I have friends that live in Crown Heights and Jackson Heights, so we eventually end up in Brooklyn/Queens too. You're right about Coney I like it for some kitsch reason too, that and Brighton Beach, but I'm going this week so it's still too cold.

      You're right too tall buildings are lame, and I'll never get a reservation at Sbarro at the zero hour, they book months in advance

      100% agreed on the High Line. Everytime I'm in Chelsea I try to walk it, it's just so serene and nice even though it's stuffed with people and a stark representation of everything wrong with Manhattan. I hate that I love it so much. I always walk north for some reason, so every time I finish in the earthly hell that is Hudson Yards and it's bleak, but everything before that is at least calming.
