This is decent list of things to try in NYC:

As of next week, I will have lived in NYC for ten years. I moved here during President’s Day (and Hines Bro Kevin’s birthday) weekend in 1996, just after a big snowstorm which bothered no one because there had been a REALLY enormous one in January. Anyway, after ten years I’ve settled into eating at the same 3 restaurants (Dumont’s on Union Ave. in my neighborhood, Enid’s in Greenpoint for brunch), going to the same handful places (UCBT, St. Mark’s Comics, Tenth Street Baths, Yankee Stadium) — so I like “secret things to do in NYC” to remind me to get off my sedentary butt and visit my own city.
On my iTunes now:
Child Star by The Unicorns from "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?"

Hooray for you moving to New York! I would never have found you beneath your mountains of comicbooks and spite in Cape Cod.
(You may delete this comment, on account of it’s being too cuddly.)

you said “same 3 restaurants” and then listed 2 restaurants — WHAT IS THE THIRD RESTAURANT!?

My guess is Union Picnic.

I wanna go to the baths.

I went to the baths with Will and immediately came down with a vicious cold.
Still, it was fun.
Except, Will tried to touch me.

Oho, the baths. I miss them verymuch.
