TOURIST HOTSPOTS:Almost all listed above.

ACCOMODATIONS: Well, be prepared to spend a minimum of $100/night if you do not have any friends here that you can crash in with. If you are coming alone, or with a group of young, anything-goes friends, i.e., without a family, you might want to check out the following places for boarding:

American Youth Hostel (West 103rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue)

McBurney (sp??) YMCA (West 23rd Street and 6th Avenue -- the hostel entrance is on West 24th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues)

Both of these places offer very cheap rooms ($30-$50/night), but you might have to share bunk beds with strangers, who are mostly young European travellers. Each room may include upto 4 bunk beds, thus 8 people! Common bathrooms on each floor.

PARKING: No way, Jose! If you must bring your car into the city, you might get luckier finding parking uptown (Upper East or Upper West -- which is above 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s Streets in the East, or add 100-teens in the West). The best would be to park you car in these areas and take the subway! Absolutely no parking before 7 pm in the 50s and below. Meter parkings are rediculously expensive: 25 cents per 8 minutes!

FOOD: Some are listed above by others. For very cheap and nice chinese food, try NY NOODLES @ Bowery and Bayard (one block below Canal Street) streets in Chinatown. They are open until 4 am, and serve excellent authentic Chinese food (unlike Americanized Chinese fast food) for an average of $6 per entree.

If you can find your way into Queens, TANGRA MASALA (mentioned by Czar) is a MUST!

Simple....living, food, sightseeing will be provided by Poonte bro . My tip ask his #....and have foon. ;)

...PS: if you crave for Nepali MOMOS, go to Durbar East Restaurant @ East 14th street and 1st Avenue.

For more expensive Tibetan momos:

Tibetan Kitchen @ East 29th street and 3rd Avenue

Himalayan Cafe @ Houston street and 1st Avenue

YAK @ 72nd street and Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens.

...PS#2: Completely, totally, whole-heartedly disregard Matrix Rose's suggestion! lol

Well, if you get seriously stranded, yes, you may fetch for me:

Call: 1-900-SEXY POO ($4.95 per minutes) or,

Stand in the middle of Times Sq. and yell ((((((((((POOOOOOONTE!!!!)))))))))) or,

Hail every yellow cab and see if the driver is me!

eheheh...haina...seriously ho bhane chai...you can go to Durbar East Restaurant and ask the owner for my #.

PS#2: Completely, totally, whole-heartedly disregard Matrix Rose's suggestion! lol

Just follow Joonkeri straight to Poonte. Its as easy as that ;)

In fact the whole of New York state is ridiculously " mahango ". The same brand of ciggrettes that costs 3.75 in Indiana costs 9.00 in New York state.
