pauro, when ye going? its going to be cold.....
October, its more of a reunion of a few mates i used to work with in Scotland. Ended up being part of the plan, and good to get away for a long weekend/week depending on prices. No idea what the weather is like there October. I know theres extremes though.
Definitely going first week in October. What's the deal on buying eletrical equipment and bringing it back, will there be a problem with customs? From reading this thread, the city sounds right up my street..
150 euros worth i think.take all tags and receipt off and leave them their,go mad ,lots of the electrial goods are way cheaper than here.Quote:

A week to go until I get there. Can't wait. Any tips on bars to go, places to generally avoid, that kind of thing? the usual tourist things we'll be doing of course...
I drank a lot in the Lower East Side and if you like your music and good bars etc that is the place I enjoyed.

Stanton Street,
Its on Stanton Street and to me this is the best area for good bars, not expensive and a good crowd which is relaxed but still good craic and not full of tourists.
Another bar there that is good, is the living room also.

Im just back and found the place a bit of a let down , spent a fortune and bought nothing !! people are not as rude as some make out but they are not as nice as say in orlando where i went after NY.
Id say its a great city if you have someone that knows where they are going and what pubs to hit. Worth seeing but i dont think ill be in any rush back at least not for a few years while i save up
