In 2012 there were plans to move The Sphere from Battery Park to a storage facility at JFK. There was also a petition to have it moved to the 9/11 Memorial Garden which seems to me to be wholly appropriate.
Can anyone tell me whether a) it is still in Battery Park and b) whether there are any plans to move it in the near future?
My husband and I will be in NY (staying on Lexington Ave) in August and we're looking for some 'local' type bars and restaurants that aren't on the tourist lists! Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Myself and my partner are visiting New York in the first week of December. We're a young couple of 26 & 27 and we both love Christmas, is there anything anyone can recommend that will give us that Christmassy feeling? Any place we should go, anything we should see etc? We've had a tough few years so I'm hoping to make this experience magical and perfect, all help and advice would be greatly appreciated :)
We are planning a trip to New York for September - October. Can anyone suggest an itinerary for us?

Thank you

Hi all, Im looking to rent an apartment in NY, have contacted a few people through tripadvisor but looking for other sites people have used for booking apartments in NY which are trust worthy, any info appreciated! Thanks!
I am from a smallish city in Australia, and I am travelling to New York City in Jan of 2014. I would really love some advice and tips. Let me first tell you a bit more about me and my travels for reference: the dates are 5 Jan 2014 - 26 Jan 2014. I am staying at a place called "Pod 51" located at 230 East 51st Street. I am 21 years old. Budget wise, I have already paid for flights and accom. I have already done a bit of research, but I guess I still have some lingering questions: 1) how much spending money should I budget per day? (breakfast, lunch, dinner, transport ie subway tickets, activities), baring in mind that I don't plan to do much shopping as I'm more interested in seeing the sights. Also, I know a lot of the attractions are free, so I plan to do as many of those as possible and just pay for the other ones where necessary (top of the rock, sightseeing bus tour etc). 2) How much is food, roughly? Ie just a coffee and a sandwich from a deli or something for lunch? 3) I've read that tipping centres around 15-20% in New York. Is this true? Meaning that if I eat a $20 meal, I'd be tipping about $3? 4) I've read that the weather is about -3 to 4 degrees in January. Does it snow/rain pretty much every day around this time or is it just icy cold? In terms of clothing for this time, will jeans, a coat, and big boots and scarves be enough? 5) How safe is New York? I'm a 21 year old female as mentioned. Would I be alright to go walking in Times Square and other busy places at night time? And is grabbing a taxi home at night time safe? 6) How much would a taxi from JFK - E 21st street cost, and how much would I be tipping on this kind of trip? Does the 15% apply here as well? 7) How much are taxis for shorter trips, say from Times Square to the start of the Brooklyn Bridge? 8) Another thing I am really worried about is making friends - I'm not really sure what the culture is like there. I'm a very friendly and outgoing person - how do I make friends with some other travellers/ some New Yorkers, apart from maybe just from my hostel? 9) Where are some good clubs/bars for people in their 20s near the area where I'm staying? And, more generally, is it safe for a 21 year old female to go clubbing on her own at night? (I am generally quite street-smart and would be careful).
Any other general advice would be very much appreciated, as you can see I'm kind of embarking on something totally new and scary!
Thanks all :)
I was wondering how safe is Malcolm X´Blvd/Reid Ave, specially between Decatur St and MacDonough St. Or if this an area I need to avoid when I go to stay in Brooklyn.
Thanks
I am looking to spend 2- nights in NYC, we were there last year and did lots so are just doing a couple of nights between other areas.
We are looking to do Brooklyn bridge and Ellis Island as we missed these last year and we want to go to Newburgh for a day (OCC and to visit a friend!).
Where can you recommend?
Last year we stayed at the Holiday Inn Manhattan View in Long Island City and it was perfect - great for everything.
This was suggested by someone on this forum so thought I'd ask for something similar in Brooklyn.
Need something not too expensive, walking distance to trains/subways etc.
My son is Autistic so he doesn't like crowds and the hotel last year was a great escape from the craziness of Manhattan!
Also which airport is closest to Brooklyn? We are flying to the west coast after NYC.
Hello, I'm moving to Brooklyn next year, I am a 30 year old African American woman from California. Where are some safe, moderately affordable neighborhoods in Brooklyn to live? Since its just me I can live in a studio apartment, and I can pay up to about1200/month. Accessibility to good public transport is preferred, and safety is key since I want to live somewhere where I would feel safe if I have to return home late at night. Let me know where the best neighborhoods would be for affordability as well as safety.
I am thinking about renting an apartment in Brooklyn Lefferts Garden near Sterling St subway station. What can you tell me about this area? Safe? Proxomity to restaurants and stores? Appreciate any help you can provide. Thx

Taking internship near here. Taking subway from Manhattan. female college student. is this safe? Parents worried
Hello! For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to drive to Brooklyn. I'm not sure why this seemed reasonable at the time. I've driven to many places before, but do not know the many highways, tunnels, etc around NYC...and now that I see there are dozens of 'steps' in googlemap, know that I will get lost. And I do *not* want to get lost in the middle of a city-scape maze that I can't get out of. Oh...and I don't have a GPS. I'm looking for the best route from Toronto to Brooklyn (Eastern Parkway). I know the shortest route seems to go through Chinatown, but I can't imagine what the traffic would be like. I *can* imagine me holding onto the wheel with the grip of death, getting lost, and leaving my car at the side of the road as I jump on the 4/5/6. Would any of you have taken this route before? Do you have suggestions for the best route taking into consideration directionally challenged people, as well as knowing the most logical routes (i.e. going through lower Manhattan is probably not a great idea). Your feedback is MOST welcome! Thank you
Can anyone recommend a good restaurant for lunch near Brooklyn Promenade? I will be going there Labor Day weekend.
Dear VTers, I'm visiting friends in NYC next month (March 2011) and would like to visit several places in Brooklyn. In order to have a better idea of my itinerary planning, I'd like to ask experienced VTers how much time (estimated average) one might spend at the following places: - Brooklyn Botanic Garden - Brooklyn Museum Thanks in advance for your help!

I am thinking of booking an appt at 535 Greene Ave, brooklyn. Is this area safe especially at night as I will be spending my day in Manhatten and returning to the appt in the evening about 10pm? Appreciate any good replies. Thanks
Will be at the Vintage Motorcycle Show (14th & Wythe) in August (taking the 'L' train from Manhattan). Afterwards, from 14th & Wythe, would like to get to the Brooklyn Bridge area to walk over the bridge back to Manhattan. Appears to be about 4-5 miles. Is it safe to walk that distance from 14th & Wythe? If so, best route? Secondly, it appears that we could take a subway (G train to Hoyt/Schermerhorn and then the A train to High St) - would that make more sense? Thanks!
Sir or Madam, Very interesting, but I don't know (1) where it is, (2) its hours of operation, or (3) its cost. Please e-mail this information to me. Thanks. - Ron Deere
My daughter and I are going to visit my Dad in NYC for a few days before Christmas and it's turning out that it's going to be cheaper for us to drive than to take the train this time (train prices are crazy), but I'll need to put the car someplace near my Dad's in Brooklyn. I not really familiar with Brooklyn, so any suggestions are welcomed.

Hello, We are planning a vacation in NY and we found an appartment on Eastern Parkway, near by Washington Ave, Brooklyn. We understood there are some unsafe neighbourhoods in Brooklyn, so we would like to know if it's safe for a few people from Europe to stay there for a couple of days? Thank you.
