Re: [MBZ] Well I’m booked to NYC

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

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.

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

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 visiting some museums.  Goto a show or
something.  Visit B photo.  All stuff new yorkers do.

Re: [MBZ] Well I’m booked to NYC

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

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 wait to goto the top of the building, so we went.  Walked right into
the elevator and up to the top.  Cool experience without any tourists.

Re: [MBZ] Well I’m booked to NYC

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

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...

Re: [MBZ] Well I’m booked to NYC

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Also, look for :
 The *Outdoor Co-ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society* was a group
of several dozen women and a few men that had, since August 17, 2011,[1]

organized regular gatherings around New York City
, meeting to read and discuss
books in public while topless.[2]

[3]

The primary objective of the group, besides enjoying the sun and book
reading, was to create awareness that New York law allows toplessness
 in public, and to change social
attitudes to the exposure of women's breasts. The group's blog had reported
that there had been no harassment of the participants by the police
, and very
rarely by the public.

I don't remember where they are relative to anything else, but with the

Re: [MBZ] Well I’m booked to NYC

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 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 Google Maps, it's 
been a long time since I've been there.
Another thing you might check out, try to be at B Photo (33rd & 9th) at maybe 
4:30 on Friday. The place is run by Hasidic Jews, they close at sun down on 
Friday which, at least in the 90s when I went there "Put down the items and 
leave now." It was pretty funny to watch people who didn't know what was going 
on.

Re: [MBZ] Well I’m booked to NYC

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

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 used to stay in a Holiday Inn express around 
there. It's a pretty good good hotel, don't gag too badly when you see 
Manhattan prices, the most I ever paid was $700/night but that was a week the 
UN was in town. If you do stay in that area go walk the Highline, I bet the 
flowers are nice this time of year.

LGA is run down, or it was a couple years ago when I last went there. It's not 
a bad airport though.
To anybody who hasn't been in NYC in 30 years, this is not the city it was. 
It's cleaned up a lot and is pretty safe by big city standards. Stick to the 
touristy areas and nobody will bother you.

Re: [MBZ] Well I’m booked to NYC

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

For my weekend I’m thinking about moving to the Hilton that is close to the 
WTC/ground zero area. Got to thinking, how expensive and how would it take to 
take a cab/Uber from here to the dealership in the Bay Ridge area?
