[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi-Any suggestions for where to look for deals on treats (custard, ice cream, donuts, etc) in New York. We will be visiting the city for 2 weeks and I'm hoping to visit a few local places that have specials. To give an idea, I'm thinking about something comparable to Carmen's Jayden Day in Rockville. We will be exploring all over the city, so I'm looking for specials for different places, but we will be stationed in LIC.[/quote]

The Georgetown equivalent to an area with lots of places like that: Bleecker Street in Manhattan between Seventh Avenue to La Guardia

Nose ring version of that: Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg in Brooklyn, plus on the numbered streets in Williamsburg.

Adventure food area (equivalent of a D.C. Ethiopian restaurant row): Try taking the 7 line subway out to Jackson heights in Queens for, for example, Himalayan food.

Big, high-end, but mostly casual and reasonably priced food bazaar: Chelsea Market. &lt;This is by the Google Building. It's also by Chelsea Pier, which has bowling, ice skating, a driving range, a skateboard park, and a lot of classes.

What people in Manhattan really often do to eat cheaply: food trucks, or delis with food-by-the pound food bars.

Cheap, offbeat entertainment: Look for small movies premiering at the Quad Cinema on a Friday. Those are often indie movies, and the filmmakers may be in the theater to talk about the movie. They will be very grateful if you come see their movies.

Another cheap, unpredictable source of entertainment: go to a comedy open mic just to watch. Go in with very low expectations and you may find the experience interesting, if not especially funny.

Another way to get a somewhat better show: go to a real comedy club and ask when they do the showcases where would-be comics have to bring paying guests. Go be paying guests to support some poor comic who doesn't have enough paying guests. Chances are some of the performers will be awful but some will be great, and the price will be a lot lower than for a regular show.
