I went to a nice Ethiopian restaurant there, where you have a concave table that they line with an enormous bread table cloth, that you tear bits off and use to eat the food in the middle. I can see if I can find the details if of interest.

Dear Chaps (and Ladies if applicable)
Any tips for a trip to the Big Apple? In particular relating to the quirky and authentic rather than things corporate.
I don't need accommodation as I know someone in Manhattan who has insisted I stay with them for the 5 nights concerned but all suggestions (withing reason!) would be gratefully received, including the best public transport deals.
Ta, luvs.

If you're not interested in touristy stuff, I'd say the best thing you can do is just walk around and explore. Spend a day or a morning in the East Village walk over the West Village for dinner etc. Go over to Williamsburg in Brooklyn and check that out. I wouldn't worry about what restaurants to go to etc. Your friend should be able to tell you what's good. Just stay out of of obvious tourist traps and you'll be fine. If you're staying for 5 nights you might want a get a 7 day unlimited MetroCard. You can ride the buses (though not express buses) and subway all week for $32. In what neighborhood does your friend live?
