what do you mean by historical stuff?

The met has all these greek and roman sculptures and stuff along with a full Egyptian temple. They also have lots of canvas paintings from different periods. Its modeled on the British museum if you've been there

The Museum of Natural History has cultural artifacts from different societies all over the world, and alot of dead animals. Its actually a very awesome museum and my favorite one in ny, if you're into that. Theres also a hall of human evolution in it if you're feeling blasphemous

foreigners can take a while to get through, I think you have to get fingerprinted and stuff. It shouldnt be so bad, security at heathrow is much more intense than Kennedy airport

avoid all the tourist destinations except the observation deck on the empire state building which is awesome and the lines can be short in the morning

go to chicken guy on 53rd and 6th to meet nyc muslims and eat crappy halal food


I like dead bodies, mummies, war relics, dead stuffed animals etc. Is there halal/kosher everywhere? I only want to be around for around 6-7days. I might take advantage of the weak dollar and buy a laptop and a ipod touch.

we should have a ny/tri state islamican meet up when you come.

it shouldn't be long to get through at Kennedy airport, my cousin came from the UK and he had an Indian passport, it was quick.

you should go to the MET and Natural History Museum, lots of cool old stuff to see there. the MET is huge and it's free. Hopefully the Islamic art section will reopen by then. Typical tourist spots are Times Square (brand name stores, overpriced Madame Tussauds there but the London one is better), Empire State, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and those open red tourist buses that take you overwhere in the city. There's Chinatown but I don't know how different it is from the London one. (I've heard ours is better. Tai Pan bakery on Mott St. is the best if you have a sweet tooth).

You must have a slice of ny pizza. and the chicken guy is a local favorite for guys.


Thanks- I hate Tussauds and Chinese people but the MET sounds cool. I'd like to see some crack addicts aswell but from a safe distance maybe a tour bus would be good for that.

And an Islamica meet up sounds awesome especially since gotfive is in chicago :flower: and I don't currently have any outstanding threats from any NYC islamicans.

OMG take the 7 train from Port Authority and go to Jackson Heights...I think the stop is 72nd or 76th Avenue? And the restaurant is here: 3703 74th Street,Jackson Heights,NY,11372-6337 - Google Maps

They had this AWESOME buffet that was like 7 or 8 dollars at the most...fresh biryani, the best butter chicken curry I've had so far in the area, and tons of other side dishes...well worth it!

Around that area is a bunch of halal stuff, that I haven't tried, but I was extremely satisfied with this place...

Other than that...well, most halal carts are ok, but one really good one I've found is the one on the corner of 52nd or 53rd and 6th avenue..near the Hilton Hotel.

There's Mamoun's on McDougal (you can take the A C or E, F, etc there to the West 4th Street stop) and they have seriously the best falafel in NYC...no joke, I don't eat falafel anywhere else but there.

Sahara on West 39th and 6th or 7th is pretty good...Turkish/Middle Eastern halal food...

There's a place called Kashmir on West 39th and 8th, but I'd go there for a quick bite really...they've got a buffet lunch which I went to once but wasn't really impressed by...

Khyber Pass on St. Mark's Place has awesome Afghani food too...although it'll run you 20-30 bucks for lunch and perhaps a bit more than that for dinner...you can take the 6 train to Astor Place to get there and then walk 2-3 blocks towards First Avenue to get to it...

Mariachi and Al-Bustan on the below website are expensive as heck...sorry but I'd never pay $10 for a burrito! I went to Al-Bustan once for my birthday and we paid $50 for dinner between the two of us (ironically, it was a former Jewish girl friend who took me there, which was cute of her :lol: )

Other than that...don't know much else. :p I have given you the places I've tried and liked, and I am SUPER picky about food :monkey: The best Indian place though? That one in Queens...totally go for it! :flower:

Good luck and have fun! wa salam

what sucks about new york:

- overpriced
- crowded
- elected rudy giuliani as a mayor
- most of the people in it talk like retards
- its full of visible jews
- everyone in it somehow has the idea that they're cool because they live there, even though they're mostly either guidos who can't speak english or annoying pansy yuppie douchebags. or jews.
- it's not chicago

when are you gonna be there, shaf?

I've spent my last three birthdays on three different continents, I want to make it four in four by going there around my birthday next year, so mid-July..ish. Obviously its more expensive than Egypt of the Far East so can only stick around for a little while.

Revert- man that would be awesome, when are you in England btw?
