Friends:

I'm traveling to NYC next week. Any suggestions on must-visit places or things to do?

Cheers

pipe related, I'd say:

De La Concha Tobacconists. 1390 Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) between 56th and 57th.
Barclay Rex. There are a couple. I've only been to the one at 70 East 42nd Street.

Have fun!

Go to Nat Sherman (I believe it's on 5th Avenue) and have a smoke in the cushy chairs.

Go to the Cloisters and make a small donation. Walk around looking at all the awesome European medieval art. They'll give you a lapel pin and since the Cloisters is part of the Met you can then catch the train downtown to roll through the Met for free. I used to do it all the time.

Go to Gray's Papaya on Broadway and 72? They have awesome hot dogs! Get the pineapple drink.

Cheers & Health,
Milan

If the weather isn't too frigid, walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Also consider taking the Staten Island Ferry for a loop. Both are free and offer amazing views of some classic city landmarks.
