Hit up Uncle Boons in Nolita for good Thai. People like Freeman's in the LES too, it's been around for a long time so probably not as much of a scene as it used to be. I recently had a good time going from the basement bar @ Tijuana Picnic -> Old Man Hustle -> Beverly's -> 169 Bar -> Baby Grand. 

 

Go to Shake Shack in Madison Sq park, not central park. And then go to Eataly (also has rooftop) if you're still hungry. And then go to the Clocktower if you're still hungry. There are a gazillion places to eat and drink in NYC. ny.eater.com can be helpful.

Not sure this is the best spot for this but don't know where else to put it/will probably check a few other US cities as well.

 

How realistic is it to get by working some kind of clothing-related job in New York. I'm about to finish up undergrad and regretting my degree/career path and trying to figure things out. I've got a background in advertising/marketing and some in photography.  Seems like some guys on this forum work in retail but do extra work with the shop's tuff like marketing, branding, and social media (ex: Woodlands, Four Housemen, Nepenthes etc). Is anyone doing something like this? Should probably just look at advertising firms but not fully set on it and wandering what other people have done.

I wouldn't limit yourself to retail. There are a lot of brands, large and small, that are based in New York as well. If your goal is to get to New York and start sustaining yourself, you will have no problem doing so. It can take time to get a job, any job, so apply to as many as you can (this doesn't mean you should rush your applications or half-ass them, though). You'll be fine with your degree. I studied music technology, of all things, and now work in fashion. If I were you, I would apply on the brand side as well and start working as early as possible. This will help you gain experience and get you a paycheck (unless you bag an internship). Once you have a job, keep your eye on brands/retailers/companies you think you'd like to work at more than where you are currently and apply when something becomes available. Once you have a job, you can always quit if/when you find something better.

I think that statement above not only applies to fashion but also finance, tech, medicine, and just about every type of job.

Anyone really like Maison Premiere? Good oyster and french wine list, really enjoyable meal, especially if you're from far away and want to try North American oysters. Don't go for absinthe shit or that kind of touristy crap.

The Met rooftop has IMO the best view in NYC. Only open on friday and staturday though and closes early. Otherwise there's the Empire Hotel in the UWS, although like most NYC rooftop, it's kind of expensive and douchy. On 57th and technically in Midtown, but I really like the Roof at the Viceroy. It's in a fancy hotel, but it's on the smaller side and doesn't have as bad as a showoff vibe like similar rooftops. Much better options if you're willing to go further down (doesn't have to be all the way downtown, in Midtown, I really like the Refinery Hotel and Pod 39 is cool too)

Heading out next week, any good events or anything to know of 11.13-11.19? 

Plan on hitting Whitney, moma, met. 

 

Any good spots for group dinner on modest expense acct? Last time we hit ssam bar, mission chinese, paulie gees. All were fantastic, though i reccomend washing your hands before bathroom at mission Chinese, spicy tingly on the sensitive bits is no bueno.

Hit Uncle Boons if you have a chance. Probably easy enough on the expense acct and phenomenal northern Thai food. Spicy Village is another cool spot if your guests don't mind super low key Chinatown spot. BYOB and great noodle dishes. Flavors kind of resemble Xi'an Famous Foods. I also like taking people to Raoul's for dinner. You can usually get a res and it's an old school New York vibe with great french food. Not as easy on the wallet but a cool spot. 

Also- hit me up if you want to meet up for a beer while you're in town. I used to lurk at the original Tanner Goods spot in Chinatown when ya'll had sneakers in the glass case and everything. We linked up for a second when I was at Yuketen and you were helping with buying for the Woodlands as well. Would be cool to catch up.
