Choose Your Own Adventure. Really, go on. New York City has no shortage of shops, eateries, and cultural sights. If anything, with everything from cobblestone streets to never-ending neon, The City That Never Sleeps can be a tad overwhelming. We can help. We've plucked the must-see and the hardly-seen from New York City's panoply of institutions, expeditions, and diversions and curated them for the nerdy at heart. Browse our recommendations, pick a direction, and start!
Shops - We want to convince you to leave the loving glow of the internet and shop in the real world. Amazon and eBay can offer a lot, but NYC's span of mega stores and indie shops stock all the essentials you know you need as well as obscurities you don't yet know you can't live without. Across anime, books, comics, clothes, design, games, tech, and toys, NYC's retailers present a buffet of nerdy wares.
Culture - Our cultural guide covers high culture, mass market culture, and participatory culture. Sorta. Here, we've got listings of NYC's nerdiest museums, its best and nichiest independent theatres, and fangroups based around the Big Apple.
Food - Nerd York City's geeky gastronomic guide isn't a catalog of every bar, burger joint, brunch spot, slice shop, food truck, and tea house in the tri-state area. Nor does everything on our list have an Amazing Spider-Burger on its menu. So, what constitutes a nerdy food shop? A place a peckish nerd can grab a bite and strike up a conversation about Amazing Fantasy #15.
