Comedienne Valentine Bureau and actress Daniella Pineda are tired of all the tourists coming to New York City and waiting in lines to do the same predictable activities. The travel books might tell you one thing, but the most foolproof way to navigate a new city is to simply ask a local for recommendations. Valentine and Daniella are cool city dwellers and dish on their must-see under the radar spots in this Real Girl’s Guide to NYC video on Look TV. None of that Time Square nonsense!

Guided Tour
Try The Beast for a boat tour (a speed boat to be exact) that goes from Hell’s Kitchen to the Statue of Liberty…all while blasting Metallica and handing out super soakers!

NYC Pizza
Skip the line at Grimaldi’s with all the out-of-towners and venture out to Roberta’s in Bushwick, Brooklyn for the most delicious pizza of your life. Bill and Hillary Clinton enjoy a pie here, and that’s good enough for us!

Pampering
Have a fancy event to attend or just want to feel like a rockstar for a day? Get your hair did at Drybar for the full VIP experience. They blow out your hair for $40, give you a head massage and a cappuccino, and frequently play Clueless on their TV screens. Win!

Clothing
Want to wear a dress of your dreams that you can’t afford? For a special night out on the town, skip the crowds on Madison Avenue and try Rent the Runway for that “wear it one time” dress.

Nightlife
Not everything happens in Rockefeller Center. To make some late-night memories, head downtown to the Meatpacking District. The Standard Hotel’s fancy Boom Boom Room bar has an incredible view of NYC’s West side. Cocktails can be a bit pricy, but are totally worth it for the people watching and view of the skyline.

Comedy
You don’t have to go to Caroline’s to see a great cheap chow. The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre has the best improv and sketch groups outside of Los Angeles and Chicago for $5 and a cheap bar.

Hotels
We don’t really know how to help you here. Everything is really way too expensive. Try to avoid NYC hotels and camp out on a friend’s couch. That’s the truth!
