New Yorkers have known for years that B&H is a great place to visit if you are in the market for photo, video, audio equipment and accessories for professionals, consumers or prosoumers; but now it appears that the word has spread. Many out of towners arrive with B&H already on their must see list and for good reason. The first time you walk into B&H you will need a few minutes to soak it all in, or at least I did. For a moment I found myself transformed to a place I can only describe as a combination of Santa’s workshop and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory complete with the Oompa Loompas. This was mostly due to the size, conveyor belts snaking through, and efficiency in which this store operated and not because there were vertically challenged employees breaking into song and dance, though that might bring in more customers but I digress.

B&H is a true superstore and not just due to its size. They stock a huge selection of audio, video and accessories which customers are allowed to handle and in some cases play around with. The sales staff is very knowledgeable and patient which coupled with the fact that prices are very competitive makes this pace a great place to shop. One thing to remember is that they are closed on Saturdays.

Empire State Building Virtual Tour >>

The Empire State Building is a 102-story contemporary Art Deco style skyscraper in New York City, USA, declared by the American Society of Civil Engineers to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, it was finished in 1931. The tower takes its name from the nickname of New York State. Since the World Trade Center was destroyed during the September 11, 2001 attacks, it is again the tallest building in New York City. It is currently the second tallest building in the United States after the Sears Tower in Chicago.

The Empire State Building is located at 350 Fifth Avenue, between 33rd and 34th Streets, in midtown Manhattan.

Guest House is currently one of the hotspots in the city and for good reason. The DJ spins house music for the throngs of people who pack the place every weekend. The club is not big when compared to the likes of some super clubs such as Crobar but the crowd is definitely more refined. On certain nights it’s a bit of a struggle to jostle people for some dancing space but that’s not any different from almost any happening spot in the city.

Getting in is a challenge sometimes so unless you have a supermodel out with you it’s advisable to get on the guest list or reserve a table. Drink prices are fairly steep and seem to get more expensive as the night goes by. Expect to spend a lot of money here but if that’s not a concern then a good time is pretty much guaranteed.

Pop Burger isn’t one of your ordinary burger joints. Though it has a limited menu the offerings are quite good. The burgers, which are really good come in a pack of two, while hot dogs, shakes and fries round up the menu. The place is always packed with people who are getting some food in their system before heading to the next bar/club or those looking to balance out the night’s drinking. Finding a spot to sit can sometimes take few minutes, so a good plan is to let the rest of your groups find and conquer any seats that are freeing up while you wait for the food.

While the front room is for takeout and self service eating there is more behind the velvet rope. Once you get past the bouncer you will enter the surprisingly slick lounge area. The back room will cater to those looking to sit around, hang out by the bar, or even play pool. Food can be had in the back room as well but the prices are much steeper than those at the front room.
