+[Google](http://www.google.com/movies?hl=en&near=10013),
+[Fandango](http://www.fandango.com/manhattan_+ny_movietimes)

+* [Lincoln Plaza Cinema](http://lincolnplazacinema.com/now-playing.aspx)
+* [NiteHawk](http://www.nitehawkcinema.com/) (Williamsburg; serves booze)

+* [River to River](http://www.rivertorivernyc.com/) (lower manhattan; has some films)

+
+### Music
+
+[Oh My Rockness](http://www.ohmyrockness.com/index.cfm) and
+[Brooklyn Vegan](http://www.brooklynvegan.com/) are the main listings sites.
+
+[The Stone](http://thestonenyc.com/calendar.php) is a great experimental music
+venue in the East Village.
+
+### Places
+
+I like the Hungarian Pastry Shop up near Columbia University, very cozy.
+
+Think Coffee is reasonable near Washington Park, open relatively late.
+
+Kaffee 1668 (just north of WTC site) has the best brewed coffee I know of in
+Manhattan, and good wifi.
+
+The "Dual Specialty" grocery store. Mostly Indian, some Middle Eastern spices
+and ingredients, at 1st Ave and 6th St in Manhattan.
+
+[School of Math](http://thewe.net/math/) is sort of an anarcho-math hangout.
+
+[Proteus Gowanus](http://proteusgowanus.org/) was nice, but defunkt.
+
+### Other Stuff
+
+Listings of things to do:
+
+* [monkey.org's masterplace]((http://monkey.org/masterplan/newyork/)
+* [nonsensenyc.com](http://nonsensenyc.com) (a mailing list)
+* [Time Out](http://www.timeout.com/newyork) (generic)
+* [Time's Up](http://times-up.org/) is a bike activist group with lots of
+ events
+
+The Met Opera House sometimes has standing-room-only tickets, which are
+actually pretty reasonable (you get sort of a dedicated lecturn in the back of
+the audience), and frequently results in free upgrades to primo seats in the
+orchestra.
+
+The State Island Ferry, Central Library (at 42nd St), High Line, and of course
+Central Park are all free and worth visits.
