Holy cow! It's closed already? It seems like it just came out last year! Maybe Spamalot then?

Spamalot is closed.
Practically most of the great shows on Broadway closed in Jan. Thank goodness I've seen most of them. But a few (Spring Awakening) transfered to West End.
august osage county is still running. And that was great. I've heard good things about Equus. Of course you have Wicked. And my personal recommendation is Avenue Q. Fantastic show and so funny. Although, Speed the Plow might still be up. And that is great too.
Safety wise, I wouldn't be too concerned. It's a city. I rode the express 4 train (runs on lexington) from 86th to Wall Street every day, sometimes 4 times a day and only had one problem on the train. Fight broke out and people were yelling they had guns. Nothing happened.
If you don't mind the occasional bible lesson, candy seller, homeless person searching for money, or mediocre performer. Subway isn't bad. Of course you still get morons who don't care about anyone else, but for the most part - people just listen to their IPods.
Latest I've used the subway was around midnight. And I just waited closer to the entrance gate. Never an issue.

Eat at the following places....
Frankies http://www.frankiesspuntino.com/
Kashkaval 9th ave near 54th street... Drink the house red.....
Waverly Diner 6th ave and waverly place ( equivalent of 7th streeet) bring a camera... this place is 24hrs and one of a kind... best coffee in the city...
If you like Sushi try: Sharaku Stuyvesant street between 2nd and 3rd ave...
Pink Pony Ludlow st, just below houston ( pronounced Howston) street. great french in a BEAUTIFUL atmosphere...
Drink here:
Johnsons bar: somewhere on Rivington.... 3$ PBR's and a "real" hipster Dive.... its an experience....
Pianos : Ludlow street and rivington i think......
If you feel like hangin with some Irish trouble makers... The Pinch Bar Sullivan Street just south of W3rd street....
See:
The Brooklyn Promenade at sunset.... make sure you make out with the sunset skyline at your finger tips... you'll know what i mean...
Walk over the Brooklyn bridge... start in manhattan then walk to Bklyn... You can do the promenade after walking over the bridge, they are pretty close to eachother.... then eat at Grimaldi's pizza. Amazing Brick oven pizza that always has a huge line... but well worth it...
oh theres so much ......

Pain in the ass
Sorry dude, gotta differ. Frankie's is overpriced and mediocre at best.
For the good stuff, hit up Frannie's on Flatbush, or Noodle Pudding on Henry in Brooklyn Heights. Or even Queen on Cadman Plaza right before it turns into Court.
Have you ever had their BLT.... its amazing....

BLT? You come over here right now I'll make you a BLT that'll kick your ass on the ground.
Fuggetaboutit!!!!!
Which reminds me of Vinnie's of Carroll Gardens. Now that is the shizzle....

Oh someone mentioned sushi earlier ...
Go to New Ashiya on 1st Ave btw. 10th and 1tth ...
For $25, it's all you can eat sushi, anything on the menu. for $5 more, its all you can drink wine, Sake, Beer ...
The greatest place in Manhattan
HeyZeus Christmas! I have GOT to remember this place. Sounds like my kinda joint!
CiPO- Since you asked....the TKTS place is essentially a booth or vendor stop smack dab in the middle of Times Square. You can't miss it. They offer last minute deals on Broadway Shows.

Thank you for all the info, will have to check them out. Although I am not completely sure on what you mean by "make out with the sunset skyline at your finger tips"
I know the "making out" .... you mean the sunset skyline is so romantic that it will "boost" the "making out" ? If you will ever travel to Rome I will be more then happy to help you
thx

thx man !!! Now I got it
Can't wait to be in NY again I am hitting now on Craigslist and airbnb.com to find an apartment. I saw pretty nice deals over there. One main issue, most of those places ask for a huge advances down payment to only book the apartment. They ask 30%-50% of the rental fee pplus 3-600$ for the refundable security deposit. This means basically I need to send more then the total rental cost and all in advance ! Without basically knowing to whom I am sending it !!
It doesn't feel very safe for me. What do you think ?
Thx for all the help guys.
