Hiya Gang!
Well, it's official- I'll be in NYC next week from Saturday morning (Nov. 08) until Tuesday afternoon (Nov.11). I'm totally into any suggestions people have in the way of visiting magic landmarks or just meeting up. My schedule's already a bit crazy but I'd love to meet some people if time permits. Sked so far includes: Tannen's (prob Saturday) Fantasma Cafe Rustico II (I hear some people hang out there Saturday afternoons?) Steve Cohen's Chamber Magic Rogue's Magic Monday Night Magic Anything else to suggest? Thanks! jamie d. grant

If this sort of thing rocks your boat, possibly you could visit the office of The Conjuring Arts Research Center:
http://www.conjuringarts.org/ http://www.conjuringarts.org/library/overview.html You'd probably have to call in advance.

1/2 off theater tickets are at 46th and Broadway 24 hour subway passes are $7.50 each, be sure to get a subway map Don't go out without a game plan or you will wind up chasing your tail Wear good walking shoes The cabs are a waste of time use the subway. There is a great diner at 52nd and Broadway with singing waiters, and waitresses Be sure to eat at least one dinner in little Italy If you go to Monday night magic be sure to tell Michael that you are a magician, and he will invite you to eat with them after the show. The last time I did that we ate with Steve Martin who did the same thing. The statue of liberty will take you at least 1/2 a day Walk with the locals, because if you walk like a west coast person you will never get anywhere You will get the hang of it in a day or so All New Yorkers can spot an out of towner at 100 yards and contrary to popular belief they will be happy to help you There is reletively no street crime in New York Keep your eyes on where you are going because stuff comes at you very fast Don't waste your time going to Tannens you will be very disappointed Café rustica should be lots of fun A real New Yorker wears a back pack, and an ipod Don't bother dressing up There's usually some good street performing going on under ground at the 42 street subway station There's probibly lots more but that's off the top of my head.

Keep youe eyes on the traffic when you cross against the lights, like a real New Yorker.
Never, never, never look a cab driver in the eye or he will play chicken with you. Look at him out of the corner of your eye, and act like you own the street. If you are not sure what to do go with the flow.

Wow Al, spoken like a real New York(er) visitor...lol
So, what, were you just hustling me for information when you visited last time? Seems like you could have given me some tips! LOL! |

Great tips!
How about from a history aspect- is there any magic "buildings" (i.e. Houdini's house) that I should check out? ~jamie

Houdini's place...
278 W. 113th St., near. Frederick Douglass Blvd. Jeff Hobson is lecturing at Fantasma on Friday (you'll miss that one) but again at Tannen's on Monday! Jamie you should grab some tickets to the Big Apple Circus at Lincoln Center to see Barry Lubin as Gradma! Genius! |
