New York, NY (USA)

Went last year. Was not too impressed myself. I am sure I will go this year as I have friends coming into town for it to set up booths. I just hope it is not another Americana/ Workwear gangbang…

I am into Americana/Workwear gangbangs…

Unfortunately there were not many brands of interest to me there. Everything seemed plain and boring. Maybe it was just me.

For a cut and/or a shave, FSC Barber (Horatio St.) - Go to Rob, tell him Landon sent you. Watch out for the wait as it can be close to insane!

if you're by selfedgeNY and starving…. feel like having some MEAT and BALLS.... i suggest stopping at The Meatball Shop or Katz's Deli

[urbanwoodsman]

I'm at the Meatball Shop in Williamsburg right now actually. I recommend it for cheap late drunken eats. Get the  Kitchen Sink and an ice cream sandwich.

[urbanwoodsman]

Pitcher of sixpoint wheatball ale.

Hi guys

I'm landing in JFK, New York, this Sunday at 6.05 EST, 25 minutes before Super Bowl kickoff. We won't make it to Manhattan before kick off, but where should we go to catch the rest of the game?

How long you in town for?

[taksaha]

I'll be flying home Saturday, February 10 at 6pm. Staying at a hotel on Avenue of the Americas for a conference.

I'm reading the thread religiously, but any tips and ideas are very welcome!

Ave of the Americas and what St?

In between W 53rd an W 54th. I sent him a few via PM for his area but that hood is not where one watches games.

[DougNg]

That area kinda sucks

The closest sports bar that I like to there is Third and Long on 35th and 3rd

But hey, there's always a Houlihans around the corner…

Barf

[DougNg]

There's some cool bars in Hell's Kitchen, which isn't too far from there, but I can't name any off the top of my head

[taksaha]

Thanks guys! I got a lot of recommendations from Lando so I just hope we can get throgh customs fast so we wont miss to much of the game.

[taksaha]

Just a small NY update - we managed to catch the entire second half of the Super Bowl as there was no waiting in the airport. Thanks so much for the recommendations, Lando! Monday night we went to Madison Square Garden and saw Jeremy Lin and the rest of the Knicks defeat Utah Jazz. And yesterday front row seats at The Late Show thanks to a great guy at Worldwide Pants. After that we visited Selfedge where my buddy bought a really nice pair of Buzz Rickson gloves. Today and tomorrow is work, work, work, but great trip so far.

takasha, sounds like you all have been having a great time out here! Glad I could help you out if only a little bit. PM me if you have any other questions. Cheers

Stopped in Grahame Fowler today to check out some White's Boots.
Great guys there. Super British shop. TONS of Trickers.
They have a few pairs of Trickers and White's on sale. Almost got some Red Buffalo Semi Dress White's but they only had sz 8D left for $368. I think they have some brown cap toe Semi-Dress Whites in a few sizes left for the same price. Go check it out if you're in town. Great deals.
