But what I wanted to talk about was that I am going to NYC for 4 days and three nights, some friends and I are staying in Chinatown but we are probably going to look around. I am bringing about $280, do you all think that is enough? And what are some recommendations, I always hear friends telling me to go eat eat eat eat eat but I also want to go shopping a bit. And any advice on buying stuff in Chinatown, or should I not buy anything there because everythings fake? Thanks guys!  | ||

It's not like chinatown has much cool merchandise. It's all shitty little toys or fake shit (which is totally still usuable), but really, chinatown is all about the food. | ||

Thanks guys! $ is enough for food and to go out drinking, etc. Depending on what you want to go shopping for, may need more for that. Don't think there's much shopping to do in Chinatown, but if you're looking for good deals on designer clothes and such, Century 21 downtown (across from WTC) is pretty close to china town. | ||

Dont forgot to eat the little egg-cakes from the street vendors! They are a great sweet treat! edit: The egg-cakes are like the size of melon balls or something along those lines, it should be easy to spot the vendors. | ||

There are some awesome eats all over the place in nyc. the best rule of thumb is to go for the hole in the wall restaurant that looks like its been there for years. if you go to a franchise you will get franchise food. Actually there are some ridiculous restaurants in Brooklyn as well. It all just depends. What kind of stuff do you have planned? | ||
