New York

We're off to NYC for a few days end of October love this place. I shall be making a visit to Beastie Boys Square - apart from that can you guys recommend anywhere else, last time I was in NYC was back in 2006, so I'd expect its changed a lot since then.

One Word Trade is probably worth checking out. I wouldn't bother to pay for the VIP to get up faster. The line moves quickly with the standard tickets.

I have two unfinished Beastie Boys Tour Maps that might be useful:
https://arcg.is/19v4v90
and
https://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/vi...Map/MFF1o87PMO

They have all the points from the book and other noteworthy areas like lyrics and famous photos. I really need to clean these up, maybe I will get around to it this week. I personally haven't been since 2007 so take it for what it's worth. You can always let me know how accurate this info is.

this is really cool. were you there in august 2012? we did this to celebrate yauch and it was awesome. hot as hell but we did the walking/subway tour, if i recall it lasted about 4 hours. then we all freshened up and met at bar to celebrate and just listen to beastie music all night. one of the greatest trips ever and met a lot of like minded people!

at the time he had just passed so there were graf and murals all over the city which may or may not still be there, but it was a proper way to celebrate what he meant to so many, and the end of the band.

Thanks for your ideas, really good! I forgot, I'll pop over to Adam Yauch Park as well. I'll post some pics

Get a New York Pass (newyorkpass.com) Saves you a lot of $$$.

Also the skyscraper EdgeNYC has an amazing balcony with a partly glass floor. Amazing view.

Have fun there!

Streets of NY are a challenge these days, tranq is a helluva drug.

Oh and walk the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan after the sun went down.

williamsburg is cool too. there is a nice park to see the manhattan skyline from near the old sugar plant. it's very hipster though now, lots of cafes and thrift stores that sell $400 band tees from the 90's, record stores, etc. it's a cool vibe though if you are into that sort of thing.

Hi Guys,
What a trip Its been a few years since I lasted visited NYC. I love this place. We crammed in so much. First time for my daughter, we took her around the places we love in and around the lower east side, Washington square park and then onto Beastie Boys Square, needless to say she fell in love with the place. Who wouldn't.
Here are a couple of pics below:

Just to add to this, Snoop Dog and Iced Spiced were playing outside our hotel, we missed them by 1 hour on our last day in Times Square! my daugter was a little cheesed off that she could'nt see watch them.
