I'm looking for a fashion design workshop 1 upto 3 days for my young (19 y/o) niece traveling to NY for a week between June 30 to July 2 .
Would appreciate any feedback, website perhaps. Thank you in advance.
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.
Hi guys. I´m new in this forum.I´m planning to spend 2 weeks in NYC and I´d like to visit tecnology museums. Any suggestions ?
is it true that taxis from NY airports charge a per volume fee? For example they dont take 3 suitcases, it;s over the volume allowed. So if 3 people want to take a taxi from the airport, one has to stay out. Sounds absurd. Is it true?
Hello folks, We are a family of 3, includes a 5-year old, looking for summer activities around White Plains, NY area, within 50 mile of driving distance, EXCLUDING NYC. We would prefer one day activities (Sunday) but are open to other days during the week and more than one day (if its worth taking a day off from work for that)
Suggestions are welcome.
Many thanks.
I am visiting NYC-Manhattan for an internship for about a month this summer. I'm from Houston TX, so I'm used to every other neighborhood being safe/unsafe, BUT because our city is sprawled out over so much space, I'm also used to everyone having a car to drive safely from point A to point B.
Point is, crime and danger are every day life in parts of Houston, but having to give up our safe and personal transportation control to a higher force is absolutely not. So, New Yorkers, I admire you. And I would really appreciate any advice on where is safe/unsafe to live/walk through/travel around in Manhattan. Please?
I am doing a day trip from New York to Niagra Falls. Landing in Buffalo at 8:30 AM. What would be a good time to take the flight back after completing the tour and lunch?
Two questions:
1. Is there something happening the first week of June this year? I see that several hotels in the Times Square/Theater District are already sold out. If there is something to avoid timewise, please let me know what it is.
2. The Official Spousal Unit, her mother, and I wish to go to Manhattan in June-ish timeframe. Prefer Time Square/Theater District for ease of getting around. Traditionally stayed at the Edison, but they are tired of crowds there (and seem to always to be put in non-renovated rooms). The MIL loved the Casablanca, but the prices have tripled in 2 or so years.
Boutique hotels are OK, but places like the Iroquois are showing up at $556.night in June. Suggestions?

My husband and I live in Texas but taking a different route to visit friends and family in Pennsylvania. We decided to make a one night stop in Niagara Falls and made a hotel reservation on the Canada side. I have been reading "horror stories" of incidents that have happened crossing to/from both sides, and very few good stories on that site. We are law-abiding U.S. citizens and are professionals. The horror stories have me/us second-guessing a trip to Canada to see the falls. Are there more "good" experiences than "horror" experiences out there about crossing the border?
Hi
I'm going to be in NYC for a few days in May. My prepaid phone through Telus Canada will not work and i'm not about to change over to a contract just for 5 days. I figured I could buy a cheap pre-paid phone with air time. I've heard Virgin has the better Manhattan coverage. Are they fairly easy to find without having to search too far for a store that sells them? We'll be staying in the Times Square area near 9th Ave.
thanks!

How can I go to Time Square from La Guardia airport by subway? I have a layover time at La Guardia airport for 8 hours. How many minutes ride is it from La Guardia to Times Square by subway.
I am visiting friends for a few days in Northern Toronto and we are hoping to get to Niagara and then from there we will be leaving them and we need to get to Newburgh, NY.
I have a friend who lives near there and we want to visit OCC as my fella loves the series but we are struggling t/o figure out the easiest way.
I have been told that you cannot take a rental car across the CA/US border and Newburgh seemingly doesn't have a train station. I kind of figured that we could get a train to Schenectady and then pick up a car (subject to there being a car collection point) and we could then drive to Newburgh and then on to NYC the following day.
Just one problem, the train from Niagara to Schenectady takes 8 hours and there is just no way I could do that with my son, he is Autistic amongst other things and 8 hours on a train plus a further 2 hours driving would be enough to do me in!!!
Is there maybe a mid way point that would take like 4-5 hours and would be a nice point to stop and stay over night, doesn't have to have much to do, just a nice cheap hotel and somewhere to eat etc?
Also can you buy an Amtrak ticket that allows you to get on and off at all?
My entire family is planning a trip to the Big Apple for Summer 2013, is there a short-term apartment that can be made available for us?
Hi, does anyone know or recomend a site to rent an apartment in Manhattan? Thanks

Hi- My husband and I will be in NYC next weekend. We are staying at the Sofitel, and will have Saturday evening free. I would appreciate any suggestions as to a good dinner place, hopefully with a view, or maybe outdoors if the weather cooperates, maybe rooftop? Any type of food is fine, we're not big foodies, enjoy the atmosphere more. Thanks very much for any help.
Hi, my husband and 4 children are travelling to Manhattan for 4 nights in July 2010. My son turns 14 on the trip and I would love some ideas on a great restaurant that would be appealing to my son and also our 3 daughters ages 10, 12 and 15. We are from Australia so have no idea about dining out in NYC. We are staying at a pretty central location to everything, close to the museum of natural history ( i think ) and also the Beacon theatre. Any ideas would be appreciated? Cheers claire
Friends and I are travelling to New York for Christmas and New York. We have found an apartment but are not sure of the location, having not been to New York and not sure about the winter weather. The apartment is located on West 42nd St between 11th and 12th avenues. Is this location okay for shops and places to eat within walking distance, and is 3 - 4 blocks far to walk in winter to catch the subway? Not sure if this walk will be hard in snow after sightseeing all day. Also, the location seems to be close to major roads, is this likely to be noisy? Are the roads very busy? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, My friend and I are travelling to Manhattan for a week in May. Could anyone suggest the best tour bus to see and get around (hop on hop off?) all of Manhattan and the best way to get to the Woodbury Common Mall. Thanks so much Gloria

Some years ago, whilst on holidays in Turkey, I met and befriended a family staying at the same Hotel. I know very little about them except that I am sure they have two deli's in Manhattan. I am visiting New York soon and would like to say hello. As far as I can remember, he was Turkish, his wife was Swedish, and there were 3 children, two boys and a girl. From memory, I seem to remember that he was one of the biggest importers of Olives in the USA? We met at the Samara Hotel in Bodrum.
I'm visiting New York on business in October and will need to get to 845 Third Avenue. Could anyone local kindly tell me the nearest subway station to here and how far it is from that station, please? Many thanks Cowey
I had to cancel our family trip due to an emergency appendectomy. I am holding four (4)tickets for The Producers show at 8pm on 6/29, St. James Theatre. They won't refund my money. If anyone is interested in these tickets please email me here. I'm sorry if this post is improper. I'm just out a lot of money and trying to recoup some of it.
Our party of 4 will be arriving about midnight and need transportation with our 6 pieces of luggage. I don't think a cab can accomodate us. Will there be other options at the airport and will they be easily accessible or should I reserve a mini van?
Going to see "The Producers" at the St. James theatre on a week night. Any tips on attire? What are men, guys and women wearing?
Enroute to Grenada, our family of four including two boys 21 and 17 are staying at the W Hotel and considering the following itinerary: some Harbor Cruise to see the statue of Liberty and the skyline, some part of Central Park and then "The Producers" in the evening. Our substinance for the day will have to include a famous New York hot dog off a corner vendor and a slice of pizza. Any hot tips???????? Ground Zero, Times Square and the Empire State building were also considerations.

Help!! 20 of us are heading to New York, staying in Mahattan's theatre district, from the UK for a friends 40th birthday celebration. I am looking for a restaurant where we can get a buffet breakfast for 20 people on a Sat and Sun morning, maybe in a hotel restaurant or any other venue that we can book a large group into. I am also trying to book a dinner venue, for a Sunday night that again can cope with a group of 15 - 20. Dinner could be Italian or maybe a good steak house....any other suggestions would be great Both venues need to be mid price. Finally our group are all arriving in Manhattan at different times so I need a bar that we can all meet up at as we arrive on a Fri night. Nothing too noisy or crowded - but fun. Many thanks

And I am interesed to get another car to go to Niagara Fall for the weekend, so can rented car be taken over to Canadian side of Niagara? Thanks for your response, Cheers. Regards
Hello! My husband and I are planning to take two of our grandchildren (2 & 6) to Manhatten in mid August. The 6 year old is obsessed with national landmarks and going to NYC is his dream come true. We live in rural Maine and not sure how to go about taking a trip to Manhatten. Is it better to stay in a motel in Manhatten or across the river in NJ? Are the tolls expensive going back and forth? I noticed motel prices were a lot cheaper in NJ. Should we bring our car or find another way to get around Manhatten? Subway and bus with small kids?? Any suggestions? The only things we really want to go see is the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Chrysler Tower and other famous buildings & Central Park Zoo. Thanks for your help. MainePatty
