get a rope

I'm psyched for going to New York City...I'm so excited to grab some new grubbies, maybe hitting up places like Queen of Sheba (good Ethiopian food) and probably John's of Bleecker Street and maybe some good Australian Homemade goodies and maybe a cool record store or something

I really, really, really need some suggestions folks so please hook a brutha up...restaurants that are unique and not overtly pricey, anything nifty music-wise, etc...some different ethnic stuff would be cool, that sort of thing.
