Dinosaur is swell, but it's in Syracuse. Perhaps you could pick one that's reachable by subway instead.

Dinosaur Barbecue www.dinosaurbarbque.com 646 W 131st St New York, NY 10027 It's in Harlem. BOOOOOOO!!!!!

So is Columbia University! Harlem is in the process of going through a renaissance and has been over the past 10 or more so things have changed for the better. Just avoid going there after certain hours ;) As for the prior Brooklyn comment, Park Slope also has some great eats but the area/scene tends to be sort of artsy. If you want to spend some time sightseeing Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Public Library (main one) Grand Army Plaza is near the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Don't forget Coney Island which has also changed in the last decade. Again, watch those hours, NY is a Jeckyll and Hyde city. Nice sometimes, beautiful to visit but can be insanely ugly. The downtown Brooklyn area has some nice eats but I've always preferred the city. In the area of downtown Brooklyn, you'll typically find a bunch of people in local government and lawyers eating as the courts are downtown. For those looking for sweets, don't forget the ever famous (overhyped) Junior's Cheesecake. If you've travelled to Coney Island then one cannot forget Nathan's. There are some really good pubs in the Red Hook section, but alas again, going through certain neighborhoods is not for everyone. You can jump on a Water Taxi there for kicks though. Makes for nice pictures at night. Sightseeing: Jump on a boat at night (booze cruise) $25.00 http://www.nywatertaxi.com/tours/happyhour/ Or just hop on an "On and Off" cruise: http://www.nywatertaxi.com/hop/ $20.00 -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.

Disclaimer: I've worked in the immediate area of this conference on and off for over 30 years. (In fact, I'm staring longingly down at the Marriott Hotel from the office window right now...) First, you simply must take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan (and back). Exhilarating views, an unforgettable experience, and you'd be participating in one of the more common things that "all" NYC people do. Just walk out the "front" door of the hotel and turn right. (Watch out for crazy bicyclists!) Second, Junior's Cheesecake, overhyped as it is, is still arguably among the best "domestic" cheesecakes, at least on the east coast. You really ought to try it. But, don't stop there -- the brisket/corned-beef/pastrami on twin rolls is highly recommended. (My personal favorite is their down-home matzoh-ball soup.) Third, the Brooklyn Heights area is admittedly "artsy", but there's lots of interesting and tasty variety. I've had great food at several Italian seafood-style places (although if that's your preference, I'd encourage you to go to Vincent's in Little Italy (lower Manhattan)). Finally, I didn't see a destination that seems like it might be very useful: Radio Shack (go out the "back" door of the hotel, turn right, half a block to Willoughby, turn right, and it's right across the street from the White Castle (which is its own "destination")). P.S. If you're into bicycling, the Hudson River Park bikeway (runs about 10 miles along the western Manhattan shoreline) is a paved, fantasitc, ride. I don't know if the bike rental season has started yet, though. -- Henry Yen <henry@AegisInfoSys.com> Aegis Information Systems, Inc. Senior Systems Programmer Hicksville, New York
Something Important to remember (I learned the hard way) Cell phones do not work on the metro so remember A C F JAY STREET STOP Those are the trains that stop on the back corner of the hotel. A&C are BLUE LINE. F is BROWN i believe. the RED 2,3 line stops a block away. If you get lost remember we are across from the Court House.

F trains on maps are orange lines. Also, while this seems to have turned into the Newly Acclimated Newyork Olfactory Glee list, I'll chime in: Bereket... ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/bereket-turkish-kebab-house-new-york ) 187 E Houston (pronounced HOW-STON, not like the city in Texas, also aka 0th street) at Orchard street, right across the Williamsburg bridge in Manhattan ...has the best lamb kebabs I've ever had in my life, despite having grown up in the Metro Detroit area (which has a huge middle eastern population and tons of associated restaurants). They're open 24 hours and are easily my favorite restaurant in the tastiest-food category in the entire United States. Other POIs of interest to nanogers: Datavision on 5th avenue near 40th street (Manhattan) has saved me in a pinch when I've needed multimode cables (still dunno where to buy smf at a retail shop in nyc). Have fun in New York, it's my favorite city in America - I'd be there myself to play tour guide with everyone except I'm in ORD at the moment preparing for a transatlantic move for the summer (I'm coming back to NY in the fall). Most importantly, get out and roam around! Touristy things that everyone should see at least once: Herald Square (appx 34th st/6th ave) Times Square (~42s-49s, along 7a) Union Square (14s/4a) New York Harbor from Battery Park (take the 1 train in Manhattan all the way south to South Ferry, the last stop. Make sure you're in the first five front cars of the train. Get out, walk past the coast guard/dhs to the park, and go down to the water.)

Just be careful you pay 100% attention to what you want and what you get. I went for a disk drive, brought it upstairs, paid for it, and when they were checking it they found the item in the box wasn't the same I paid for (Serial numbers didn't match). I didn't even get out the store, so I asked for a refund. Store credit only, and its only good for a year. SIGH........ Tuc

Chips and tech is around the corner on 39th between 5th and 6th. Datavision requires you to check your bags. They do have a pretty nice selection.

Oh, all right, as about 47 people have pointed out, they have a branch on 131st St. The barbeque is not bad. I eat it at the NY State Fair every year. On the other hand, I would think that in NYC, home of the most wonderful food on the continent,* you could do better than a branch of a yuppie ex biker joint from Syracuse. How about RUB at 23rd and 7th? Or Johnny Utah's at 51st and 5th? Or Oklahoma Smoke up at 145st St? R's, John * - with the possible exception of Montreal, an argument that can only be resolved by extensive research in both places
For all the food everyone is listing you've missed the #1 NY food (opinion) ... Hot Dogs! Any street vendor will do (get a soft pretzel too) but I'm partial (like many New Yorkers) to Gray's Papaya in the city at least (their real website is "under construction so check out http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=gray's+papaya&ll=40.75597,-73.968372 &spn=0.07737,0.117416&z=13). Another option is the original Nathan's on Coney Island. If you like steak, I love Peter Lugar's but if you want something a little cheaper and definitely less stuffy, check out Sammy's Romanian Steaks, not too far from the Williamsburg Bridge (157 Chrystie St). I also want to 2nd Little Italy and the NY Museum of Natural History/Hayden Planetarium as must sees if you've never been to NY. Also try to see a Broadway show, you can find last minute tickets for 1/2 off at TKTS (bring cash!!), but stay away from Time's Square to beat the lines and hit the one at the Southstreet Seaport (this is another cool place to check out anyway and very close to Brooklyn).

Considering the nerdy tendencies of this crowd, I can't see how one would omit a trip to the NYC Transit Museum, which chronicles the history of what was in the early 1900s quite the high tech marvel, and still the world's only urban railroad that runs 24/7/365, you know, like the Internet. It's at the corner of Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street, about a five minute walk from the meeting. R's, John http://www.mta.info/mta/museum/
