Things To Do And Eat In NYC

There are a couple things that I you guys should take a look at.

1. Aroma Kitchen and Wine Bar is an awesome resturant. We can go there on Monday night, if you guys want. The room we would have is the "Farmhouse Room" (see website). It will probably cost $50 per person (including tax and tip) if everyone orders an appetizer and an entre. The room we would have is the "Farmhouse Room" (see website). It is a lot of money that peopel may not be willing to spend, so if you don't want to go, say so. You would not have to pay for dinner on Sunday night, however, cause my family wants to cook, so it could be like paying for Sunday's meal and Monday's meal. I need to know by this Saturday, March 3, if we still want to keep the reservation. You can tell me if this is something that you want to happen when we go bowling. Check out the website.

2. There are some other resturants that I know of that should not be as expensive, but are still good.

Kefi - A really good Greek resturant on the Upper West Side

A Salt & Battery for fish and chips - West Village and East Village Good & Very cheap.

Pam Thai food at 49th & Ninth This is a great, really cheap place that is likely to have room for us.

Spice - Near Union Square, has really good vegetarian options. For lunch, I believe you can get a free appetizer when you order an entre. (I think that there are others around the city as well.)

Republic (Thai) - Union Square

Ollies Noodle Shop - This one is on the upper west side, but there are others in various locations.

The City Bakery - Closes at 7:00, but is a good place for a lunch or an early dinner. Really good food and pastry.

All of these are good places that we could eat, and since there are a lot of us, we should probably make reservations so that we know that somewhere will have room for us. It is very easy to have long waits for resturants in Manhattan, and with this many people it is very possible that we might not get a table at all.

3. NOT resturant options.

People wanted a commedy type thing. Upright Citizens Brigade is a really good improve/sketch commedy group in Manhattan

On Fridays from 4-8pm the Museum of Modern Art is pay what you wish. Other days, they have a student rate of $12. A very important aspect of the urban environment. See especially the sculpture garden.

The NY Philharmonic has $12 student tickets, all you have to do is show up with a student ID. I can get more informaton on this if people want.
