So I want to spend sixteen hours in Manhattan, starting around 16:00 (4 PM) on a Friday or Saturday, and ending around 08:00 (8 AM) the following day. Anybody want to help me plan an itinerary?
Well, if you want to have a great (the best, IMHO) NYC pizza, you absolutely must go to John’s Pizza at 278 Bleecker. If you have time to head down to the Village, I definitely recommend it. Where in town will you be staying?
Alright, I love pizza! I’ll make that my dinner spot. I’ll make a trip to the Village as well, although I don’t know what’s there.
As for staying… I’m not staying anywhere. I’ll be out all night. For me, much of the point of going to NYC is being there at night. That’s one thing I will make sure to find out before I leave - where I can safely go between 00:00 (Midnight) and 06:00 (6 AM).
You’d have to go out of your way to find an area that’s unsafe in Manhattan. You can hang out in a bar until 4 or so and then head to an all-night diner if you don’t want to wander the streets.
John’s pizza is mediocre.
