Geek’s Guide to New York
I seem to be fixated on New York this month!
There are a lot of geeky landmarks in New York City. From movies like Ghostbusters to comic books like the Fantastic Four to movies about comic books, there are a lot of references made to the Big Apple. If you’re a geek and plan on being a tourist in New York, wouldn’t you like to hit these hot spots and revisit your favorite geek moments? Or just take a photo of yourself where your favorite geek event, movie, etc. actually happened or was filmed?
Now, with the aid of the Ultimate Nerd Guide to New York City, you can. (Though, personally, I prefer the term “geek” to “nerd” for a number of reasons, at least one of which should be obvious!) Brought to you via Slashfilm, the Ultimate Nerd Guide to New York City has a map, showing you just where all those cool or famous or geeky things are to be found, including, yes, the building used for the Ghostbuster’s HQ as well as the building used for the Fantastic Four’s HQ, and many others.
I’ve never really done any “geek tourism”, but, after seeing this, I may start!
Anyway, it’s Friday and you’re not doing any work anyway, so you might as well check it out and plan your next vacation!
Have a great weekend!

I went to NYC back in 2005 with a friend, we geek out at almost every turn, seeing NY things that we remembered from books, movies, photos, etc. It was a truly awesome experience and I’ve been wanting to go back ever since. Had an absolute blast. Thanks for the link!

De nada! I figured most of my regular readers would find at least *something* in that guide to geek out over! Also, did you see the link for “secret dining” places in NYC earlier in the month?

Been a while since I’ve been to New York, but when I get back next, I’ll have a couple more places to check out!
Glad you enjoyed the link!
