I'm staying 3 blocks from the south end of Central Park. I need something to do on a Thursday Night and Saturday night. I'd love to get into Conan and Saturday Night Live, but have no clue on what the best way to do it is? Any other must see places... I'd love to hear them. Thanks

I suspect Conan is during the daytime. I could be mistaken though.

If you don't have tickets already it's too late. Saturday is Ed Miller's bachelor party. See the posts in the NVG forum.

I'll be there on the 22nd not the 15th. That sucks

You'll never see SNL so don't even try. Some people with tickets don't even get in.

Conan may have a stand-by line so you could try that. Also, if you're going out (bars, etc.), get out of midtown where you are staying. Go downtown.

Buy an unlimited Metrocard for however long you're here, ride the subways (buses are fun too), eat all the famous burgers and pizza, go shopping in Chinatown.

is there anything good to do in midtown, or is downtown the only way to go?
