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?

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?

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 :)
