Times Square, NYC

...Remember the day I won two flights in my company's New Year's party? 

Well, I'm finally making use of my gift and we're flying to New York for 5 days! This might not seem a big deal for those of you living in the US, but it's the hell of a big deal for me, I'll be flying all the way over the Atlantic for what basically could be considered a long weekend.

When did traveling become so easy, that it's actually possible to cross the Ocean for 5 days of shopping and cocktails?

Ok, I promise to do some tourism as well... This won't fall hard at least, I'm dying to visit the Guggenheim, the New York Library and the Brooklyn Bridge (among many many others, of course). But as said, I don't believe that you visit a city by only visiting it's attractions. Probably the main attraction will be living in East Village, Manhattan - which is the neighborhoods with the highest concentration of bars in the city and which also gave birth to many of artistic movements - I love street art, like the mural below!

Any recommendations on where to shop, eat or drink are highly appreciated!
