I want to thank Ethan for booking and paying for the Penthouse suite for me to stay in. Waiting for Maurice to hook me up with his private jet to get there. I will take care of my food costs.

That would be pretty funny if we did!

The last time I was in New York, it was for the 8th grade field trip and we flew with JetBlue. I'll be doing the same nearly 12 years later. : )

 
I'll have to check if I'll fly with JetBlue - if so, it may very well be the same flight, especially if you have to go back for school/etc. on Monday!

I tried these 2 places last week during my visit to NYC, both were excellent!

Also, had an amazing meal with @Frank I at Monte's Trattoria in the Village.....highly recommended! We can't get Italian food like that here in Cali.

Ooh, sounds amazing - I'll definitely try out at least one of those eateries whilst in NYC, thanks for the recommendations!
 
If you want some AMAZING Italian food around our neck of the woods, please check out C&O Trattoria in Marina Del Rey (near Venice) - the food is ridiculously yummy and their garlic knots are amazeballs! https://www.yelp.com/biz/c-and-o-trattoria-marina-del-rey

Actually I have Mondays off next semester, so I'll be taking the flight back on Monday night.

That's great! Gives you another day to at least help getting caught up on studies/research/etc.

Good luck with regards to your scholastic endeavors!

I'm not the pizza expert,, but I do love ramen, and the place to be is Ippudo. Definitely worth a stop in

The 2 best slices I ever had in my growing up were 
 
1) New Park Pizza - arguably the best round style pizza in New York (located a good drive or A train ride from Times Square) - located in Howard Beach Queens
2) Spumoni Gardens - best square slice - closer but still somewhat a pita to get to in Brooklyn - you can get there via subway - a half sheet of this pie fresh out of the oven is absolutely amazing  
 
plenty of great pizza now and the brick oven foodie style pie is all over the place I stand by these two as the best of the classic styles

To those that live in or around NYC, would it be best to take off work on the Friday before CanJam or the Monday after CanJam to see some sights/eat some scrumptious food? I only want to take off one day in NYC especially if I'm able to go to Singapore next year, which I would definitely have to take a few days off for that trip.

Thanks in advance!

Yes!!!!!  I <3 NY.

Do you live in or around NYC, and if so, which day would you choose?

I live in NJ, but my work territory includes the metro NY area.  I frequently have the joy of driving in and out of the city during peak commute times. 

 
Restaurants, clubs, etc. will be busier on Friday, so if there are particular places you want to go that require reservations or may involve a wait, Monday might be better. If you are a football fan, the Superbowl may factor into your decision too.

Awesome, thank you for your input!
