team up with other New Yorkers in adding fresh, original content to 43Places's New York City Locals page

After 3 years in NYC, I’m sad to have to leave. I can’t say I will miss everything about the city (the smell of garbage in the summer and the crowded 6 train during rush hour are definitely good things to leave behind) but I will miss the all-night delis, the random street performances and the serendipity of finding a great little restaurant down some side street in the East Village. I think in time I will even miss the slow, sidewalk blocking walk of the tourists who have wandered away from Times Square :)

It’s been a great ride and I hope I will have a chance to come back and do it again sometime.

i have added the Lakeside Lounge, Doughnut Planet, The Read Cafe and Automat(a while ago).

Enjoy!

...and i will come back to this from time to time and add new places when i find them, to share!

so i’m done and moved to england, one of my 43t goals for a while. and i only lived in new york for one year, but somehow it got under my skin and i find myself missing it every day. ESPECIALLY:

*runs on the esplanade
*H&H Bagels on the Upper East Side (79th and 2nd Ave)
*God’s Love We Deliver in Soho (a great place to Volunteer)
*DTUT, my lovely little coffee shop

so when i’m done with this Masters Programme, i’m toying with moving back. once a new yorker always a new yorker?

I just don’t have the time – too much on my plate.

Thanks for all the restaurant reviews, but you should put them over on 43places.com so people can read them when they’re looking for them…

First, search around the site and see if someone already has your place. There are a lot of restaurants already on the site, and you can easily add content to them just like you do with 43things. If you click “I’ve been here!” or “I want to go here!”, you can add an entry, photos or tags.

If you want to add a new place, start on the New York City page on 43places.com and navigate down into the right borough and neighborhood. [If you don’t quite know where it is, just add it to the top of NYC and someone will sort it into place later.] When you get as close as you can, click on “Add a Place” and type in the name in the little box that appears.

Best Thai food I have ever tasted. You have to try Pad Thai Chicken. I have not tasted better yet.
located:
41 Grand St, New York 10013
Btwn Lafayette St & Crosby St
It is right where China Town and Little Italy meet, 2 blocks up from Canal St

Buttercup Bake Shop on 2nd Ave btwn 51 and 52nd…the humming bird cake is to die for…and the banana pudding. It’s less crowded then it’s sister store in the village

I went to this lunch spot yesterday that made me think, “Hey, this is a spot that I’d like to take friends from out of town.” What are you favorite spots for showing off NYC?

I found a few lists of museums today and decided that NYC should have a definitive list of every museum in the five boroughs. I added a bunch, but I still have more to go. The museums I’ve added could also use some attention. Most of them are pretty obscure, so I put the ones I didn’t know in Manhattan. If you’ve been to any of the obscure ones, write a quick review!

Okay so i’m leaving new york tomorrow to start my summer job and then i’m off to england, but wanted to add one of my fav. bars in the city to the list…

it’s on the UES:
Name: The Gael Pub.
Location: 3rd Avenue between 81st and 82nd
Amenities: Tuesday night “Pub Quiz trivia night” at 9pm, huge TV to watch things like the world cup on, great Irish bartender whom you can barely understand.
