So work is sending me to New York for a week, starting the 8th of February. Days are going to be fairly packed until about 3-4 PM, but I'll have a lot of down time in the evenings. I'll be there Sunday-Thursday nights, leaving on Friday. Is there anything you fine people would recommend in the Park Avenue South area (restaurants, museums, cool stores, bars, etc.)?

I'd also be willing to venture out a bit, as the company is obviously footing the bill for cabs and whatnot.

Here's the hotel I'll be at:

Talk to sooneron or NYCPoke. I'm sure they'll hook you up.

Down in Little Italy--I had dinner there on New Years Eve and it is AWESOME. It's worth going just for the tiramisu. Not even kidding.

Eliot Spitzer recommends the Emperor's Club. Just make sure to pay cash.

I think the MoMA sucks, but some people like it.

All good choices...maybe I'll get my boss to take me to Grotta Azzura on Sunday. He'd like a place like that.

Although, paying cash does sort of put a damper on my "run up a huge bill on the company card" plan.

Oh well..

Cash advance is your friend. You get a per diem, right?

Yeah, we're getting the cash advance also, but it's not enough for the high-quality ladies I'd like to meet. Hell, I could just wander over to East St. Louis if I wanted to spend $20 in a hurry...

How about a visit to Ruppert's "HELLO DELI"?

If you need some help figuring out how to evade detection paying for hookers, there's a currently unemployed ex-governor running around New York who'd be happy to help you.

Of course, make sure you keep the transactions under $10k so that he doesn't get you tangled up with AML regs.
