Going to NYC in August

[ahjteam]

We just agreed to go to New York for ~*10 days in August with a friend I met while I was in Minnesota, but since we both have never been there, suggest me the places that you think are "must" to go and see other than the Statue of Liberty. We both like metal music, if that helps at all.

Just walk Manhattan with a little guide and you'll find everything.
There are some good instrument stores like SamAsh where I bought a guitar.
160 West 48th Street

In August weather will be hot! Specially for a northern guy.

I know, I was wearing like long underpants (because of the flight), long jeans, t-shirt and a sweater and I almost felt like I was dying when I went from Helsinki to Minnesota last year, it was like +35°C outside.

Generation Records in Greenwich Village is pretty awesome. Haven't gone there in like 7-8 years though I live just north of NYC. Hmmm....think I may make a trip soon. Found some cool used gear at Rogue Music too. It's in the vicinity of Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. Sold/bought some gear for the engineer I interned for there as well.

see at least one set at The Stone if you're into free music, and at least one at the village vanguard if you're at all into jazz.
