Just don’t try to go to B on Saturday… Canal Street can be cool, as is the diamond district. Just a cool place to see the people and surrounds. -D > On Aug 10, 2021, at 7:59 PM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes > wrote: > > I guess it depends what kind of experience you want to get. The

I guess it depends what kind of experience you want to get. The tourist stuff is all there and well known. Going to the top of building is cool, but once you go up one you've seen them all. You can really absorb so much of the city by just walking around, sitting outside and eating a meal, and

Best time of year to see NYC is late January or early Feb, if you don't mind the snow. I remember Janet and I were walking around one cold night (back when she lived there before we were married) and we walked by Rockefeller plaza. Some guy at the door was announcing there was no line and no

It could be the times or it could be the kind of idiots you get in those groups. I think the best time to see Times Square is about 6am. Get coffee from a cart and just sit around and watch. Better around Christmas... Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Aug 10, 2021 at 4:32 PM,

I’m in a Fakebook Hilton group and asked about places to stay and most locals say to avoid the Times Square area especially after dark as there is a lot of crime there right now. So hell I don’t know. Some of them also say that the millennium Hilton is a dump. I will just pick something and can

I don't remember where they are relative to anything else, but with the subway it really doesn't matter much - see the Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenhiem, Central Park North for the gardens, Zabar's, ride the Staten Island Ferry (it was free). On Tue, Aug

Thats a pretty okay hotel. It's an easy walk to 30 Rock and the Empire State building. A longish walk to Times Square, pretty far to the 911 memorial. There is a diner between there and the Empire State that I used to go to. Old school, big menu, good food, small money. I can't find it on

Probably $50. I took a cab once from Penn station to sheepshead bay in Brooklyn, $90 and a long ride. I would recommend you go a little farther uptown, 30th st or so which puts you in walking distance of Times Square and Rockefeller Center to the north and the Sept 11 memorial to the south. I
