Hell, even I've done #'s 1, 5, 6, 8, and 10 (and #3 if we count normal coffee ... and #7 but not as a day trip. :D) ... and I have never really lived in the States for more than a couple of months at a time.

Since I'm a native New Yorker
QUOTE
1.) Visited the Museum of Television and Radio?
Nope but I've done the met and lots of local stuff.

QUOTE
2.)  Gone to Chinatown to a random restaurant down a back street with no English menu and ordered some random item on the menu which you couldn't read?


Hell no! I want to live. But I've asked what stuff is for a snack

QUOTE
3.)  Drank Japanese style coffee in the Rockerfeller Center Kinokunia bookstore while that was still available?

Not there but enough places in mid town that I couldn't put a name to. and I'd avoid overpriced tourist traps

QUOTE
4.)  Bought a bullwhip from an African import store back in the early 90s?
Nope

QUOTE
5.)  Eaten Turkish pastries from an immigrant bakery in the Bronx?
Italain pastires, please, but I had turkish coffee-dang stuff with the grounds packed in.

QUOTE
6.)  Gone to the Metropolitan Opera?
No but plenty of stuff on broadway


QUOTE
7.)  Gone bowling on a day trip to New Jersey?
Of course not. what self respecting New Yorker goes to 'jersey?

QUOTE
8.)  Gone to the Bronx Zoo?
1st date with my husband.

QUOTE
9.)  Eaten at Mike's Pizza on around 2nd avenue and 25th street or so?
Maybe. I use to do a lot of collection work on the east side. I didn't keep track of names

QUOTE
10.)  Walked around the East Village secretly laughing inside at the pierced dudes and Japanese dropouts?
Only tourists walk around. There was a great BBQ place where you could get a picture window and watch the wack jobs strolling about.

I'll add one more, visited the late "Magical Childe"? before it's demise in the late 90's it was one of the oldest, creepiest, best know occult stores in the world existing back to the 1960's.

It's weird, I've tried to fix it several times and that's the best it comes out. I mean we reach a point of me counting the 'quote' '/quotes' to try and get a balance.
ok got it done.

Where in central park is the needle?
You never mentioned visitng the Dakota or Strawberry fields.

It's just across the street (to the west I think) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

My life is overflowing with bushels of jiggly joy because there are people on this forum who went to NYC and did non-yuppie things. Hooray!

It's just that right now bland yuppies are overrunning NYC. And Disney corp bought out all those seedy places that used to have porn. It kind of makes me sad. Gentrification tends to make a city more boring. I like behavioral disturbances.

Until you apply Rule 34. Which means we will soon see MickeyPorn being sold on 42nd street.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is for you to decide. Personally, it makes me cry in pain.

Anonymous will find out everything you ever loved as a child. And then Anonymous will make porn of it.

Anonymous does not forgive.

I think I would feel better if cheesy Mickey porn were being sold on the streets of NYC. However, that stuff mostly just exists on the internet. Mainstream society is not yet ready for Mickey porn; mainstream society can't even deal with Janet Jackson's Nipplegate.

For god's sake man, think of the children! If a baby sees a nipple, it'll grow up to be a serial killer.

I wanted to answer WR's little questionare, so....

1.) Not yet.
2.) No, I woudn't risk it.
3.) No, too expensive. Besides, I don't drink coffee.
4.) Back then, if I had brought home an African bullwhip, I'd be homeless.
5.) No, but I might, if I remember it when I'm in that area. See #8.
6.) No.
7.) Gods, no. Why go to Jersey when there are half-decent bowling alleys near me?
8.) I'm going with my GF on the 14th.
9.) No, but I have eaten what my GF calls "secret pizza", the stand behind the Port Authority.
10.) see #2.

Blown up the Statue of Liberty?

Seen someone with Grey Death?

Met the Duke of New York?

Bought some rope for a dinner party?
