Where to visit?
 

Hi everybody!
I need your help. I am coming February from Finland to New York. Where should I go or what should I see if I want to see things related on Bon Jovi? I am a big fan of Bon Jovi and I want to travel there because of this... E.g. where might be the studio, bars they visit etc. Please help me!!!
Regards Soija

The Powerstation Studios are in 441, West 53rd Street. There isn't any sign on the house anymore and you have to note the adress to find it. When I was there I had to call to Germany that someone gives me the adress because I didn't know it anymore and no one, even not at NBC which is in the same street, could tell me where the Powerstation Studios are.

Another place is the Brooklyn Bridge where parts of the KTF-Video were shot. I think the Table Dance Bar from Jon's Queen of New Orleans-video is also in NY but I don't know where.

As far as I know a guitar of Richie or Jon (not sure here) is hanging in the Hard Rock Cafe.

Don't know any other BJ-related places in NY though, esp. not bars where they could hang around.

I think the most important BJ-related place is the Powerstation Studios. I mean, there everything started :).

You could go to the Hotel Chelsea - although it isn't that impressive. The China Club possibly, they've played there before. As far as bars goes - have no idea which ones they frequent, but many of them have Jovi on the jukebox! The Hairy Monk on 3rd Avenue played them loud and on a regular basis. When I was over I was gonna go and visit Jovi land, Monmouth County in Jersey, but the train service was rubbish from NYC.

You MUST go to the Hard Rock Cafè! I don't remember the exact address but it's near columbus circle. You'll find two bon jovi guitar: they are two acoustic ones, one is Richie's 12 string and the other one is Jon's.

Rockefeller Plaza is a place where they played outside a few times!

Yeah Times Square would be a place I'd definately visit if I was going to New York. Doubt you'll have problems finding it because it's one of the most famous places in NY and it probably sign posted over most of the city. I've never been to NY though and must go some time in the near futre when I can get some money.
