What's going on in New York this week/weekend? I'm on my own in Manhattan for a week! Now what should I do with my time? Looking in particular for coffee recs (not Starbucks), non-chain store shopping, little galleries, stuff I can do later at night on my own.

Help me find the title of this YA book I've been searching for for 30 years! Two female friends time travel back to old New York. Published in the late '60's or early '70's in hardcover. That's all I recall, except that I loved it.
Thanks!

What's the best way to get across midtown Manhattan by bicycle? Looking at bike maps of the city, it seems there's no bike lanes going East-West between the lower 20s and wayy up in 90th St (on the east side) and 77th St (on the west side) Assuming I want to get across town by travelling in the 50s (or reasonably close to that), which street(s) should I take for the safest, least traffic-rife ride?

I'm having birthday drinks in a few weeks and am looking for a lower Manhattan bar that tends to attract a crowd of people in their mid-20s and older. I'm not interested in dive bars, extremely upscale bars or bars with DJs/musical acts. Just a relaxed venue for me and my friends to spend a few hours on a Saturday night. Ideally, the bar should be below 14th St. Any suggestions?

I would rather buy a set of 2009 New York BAR/BRI books on eBay than take the course this summer. I know people attempt this -- there is a burgeoning second-hand market for the materials on eBay. Are these people savvy, or are they suckers? Leaving aside the intangible benefits of being with the herd, my question is this: can a well-disciplined 3L pass the New York bar with only the physical BAR/BRI materials and study schedule, sans the taped lectures and bad karma from the lecture hall?

My best gal pals and I are heading up to Manhattan for a weekend soon, and we're looking for an excuse to dress to the nines while enjoying a cocktail or two. Whenever we go out as a group, though, we tend to split up and mingle (and, ok, flirt). Of note: we range 31 to 38 in ages, so we're not looking for some barely-legal hipster club scene. What's a good, upscale but sociable, fun but not crazy loud night spot to visit on a Saturday in Manhattan? Does it exist?

This question may be a no-brainer but if two people will be renting an apartment in New York City proper, will landlords always require both residents to be listed on the lease? This pertains to a couple and not to a platonic roommate situation. Thanks in advance.
