Hello travellers! I am going to visit New york soon. I just need to know...
...Is it allowed to roller skate the main avenues and streets of New york city?
...Are there any "special lanes" to do it?
I will be there for a short time so it would be great to do it this way.
Hope you can give me some advice...and thanks a lot..

Hi everyone!
In July 2016, my family (parents + sister of 16 and I'm 19 myself) will be visiting New York for 5 days (in Brooklyn). I have some questions concerning activities and time-distance relations, which I hope you will be able to answer. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to get from the Bushwick neighbourhood to Central Park by metro during rush hour? I'm hearing very different opinions on that... Also, does anyone have experience with a Big Apple Greeter? Good guide/fun tour/unusual highlights? Another question: how is Coney Island? My father would love to go there, but since we are only staying in NYC for 5 days, is it really that much of an attraction to go there? If yes, should we take an entire day for that?
Lastly, a question not necessarily concerning NYC: where do we find a big Walmart/Target to 1) have the experience of shopping in a giant supermarket and 2) have the opportunity to take home nice American candy? We are also visiting the West coast, so maybe in this area? I don't know if you can find superstores like Walmart in the heart of the city, or more in the suburbs...
Thanks in advance!

I am planning a trip to NYC this summer. Hotel recommendations and advice on getting around the city would be appreciated. Also any thoughts on La Guardia vs JFK. I want to stay in the city.

Thanks

Does anyone have some good suggestions for hotels to stay for a solo traveler?

Is september a good month to travel to NYC ? I am mainly going for shopping and going to great restaurants!

Quite simply is the show the same every year?
I went last December and have to say it was fantastic. As I am visiting New York again this December I would go again if it is a different show. I know the Rockettes perform their wooden soldier routine each year but is the rest of the show the same as well?

I would like to travel from the Port Authority bus station to New Jersey to have a look round. I would like to know how often the buses are and how much is the fare. Also where in New Jersey will I be? Is it Weehawken? What is there that I should see ?. Any recommendations for a nice meal? Many thanks.

What is the cheapest way to go around the city and what are important places one can cover

what is the best source to purchase tickets at discounted prices

Just want to ask for restaurant recommendations near midtown/central park. Thank you for the help and advice.

If you can only see one Broadway production, which one would you choose?

We are going to NYC in 3 weeks. We know it's the least busy time a year but since it's always busy in New York we were wondering about the lines at some of the attractions?
What about the Ferry for SoL (plan to that first jetlag morning = Saturday), 9/11 museum (Saturday afternoon), Top of the Rock (Sunday early evening) and Empire (weekday morning)?
Some advice?

Thanks!

I want to ask your opinion of the Warwick Hotel. Is this a good choice in terms of location, quality, etc. or would you recommend staying a little closer to Times Square? Thanks

I will be in New York on Jan 18,19 and Jan 20 for work. I plan to stay in a hotel close to Times Square. I will have couple of evenings free. Could you please advise any local good restaurant /bars/clubs in and around Times Square. Any recommendation for 'things to do' would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks

I forgot to mention - it would be for mid-December, so the weather concern is a real one!

Hi - I am contemplating gruesome realities in terms of plane tickets for a very long trip. The cheapest - are the cheapest for a reason. The cheapest one involves a change from JFK to LaGuardia, a risky move (long immigration lines, weather, traffic) - I have found a couple of companies who serve the route - Is it necessary to reserve a seat in advance or can one simply grab a bus at the airport? In that case, any recommendations? It seems the price is only $14, that is great. And they claim that it takes 45-60 minutes. However, weather and traffic could change that, I imagine. Any wise thoughts Thanks, Jean

Hey guys!
I'll be arriving NYC on December 15th at JFK. I have to take a bus at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. But I want to see the Rockefeller's Christmas Tree before (it's my dream) because I'm not sure if i'm going back to NYC during the holidays. So I planned to take the E train and leave at the 5 Av/53 St station. Then I'll walk. But the problem is that I'll be carrying my huge luggage. Is it dangerous? Is it a stupid idea?
Thanks

Guy's i am planning to go in New York anyone can help me..?

Have anyone used the left luggage services around Manhattan?

We end up using NYC as a hub to travel around the East Coast and plan to pack so that we don't need to drag all the bags all the time with two kids in the tow.

Any experiences and tips will be highly useful for us.

Hi New Yorkers. I would be grateful for your help.
I will be arriving in New York on 21st December in the afternoon and leaving on the evening of the 28th.
I will require a single trip from Jamaica into Manhattan on the E train to get to my hotel and then I want an 7 day card that I will use from the 22nd until my departure on the 28th.
My question is, can I just take my single trip card and get it loaded at a booth for 7 days on the 22nd or is the 7 day card a different type? Many thanks. Roy.

Hi, I'm looking for feedback about the New York Pass (1 Card to see over 80 Attractions in NYC). My daughter (28 yrs) and I (49 yrs) will be going to NYC next September for 5 days, we are on a budget, and wondering if the pass is worth it? Thx, Cheryl

Keen to meet other travellers in nyc if you are looking for company. I am in nyc for a few weeks on a work assignment and really simply looking to connect with others. I love travelling and meeting new people from all walks of life.

Hi. My wife and I fly out to New York on the 27th December and back to the UK on the 2nd January. We have our itinerary pretty well sorted but are struggling with what to do on NYE. We are staying on East 50th Street. My wife isn't a fan of fireworks so probably wouldn't enjoy Central Park and we do not want to spend a whole day standing in Times Square. We are young at heart mid 50's non-clubbing types and would like to go somewhere for a nice meal with possibly live music.Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thank you.

We need to check in by 8pm at JFK for an International flight departing at 10pm. I will book a private transfer but what time would I need to leave Times Square West to take into account traffic delays at that time of day (Friday 13th November)

Thank you
Karen

Hi,

Having been there before I'm now taking my two daughters to New York city staying in Washington heights.
I'm looking for suggestions outside the big touristy attractions to do with them and also the best places to eat. We are going in February as the kids want to go ice skating and the cold doesn't bother with us travelling from Scotland. We will be using the subway as this is how I travelled before and can't fault it.

Thank you in advance,

Lee.

Which are the best places/hotels to stay central in NYC to go sightseeing. Thank you in advance.

Hi ...my son is visiting New York for 5nghts in July16. The hotels are expensive & small rooms, so I wanted to ask members if he would get better value if he could find apartment in central location. His budget is circa $100per night. Any thoughts?.?
