New York City Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Moving day....packed up our cases and moved down the street to a studio apartment. It's lovely with lots of weird art on the walls. Left the apartment to pick up our tickets in advance to Washington DC from Penn station. Saw Madison Square Gardens where Jay-Z is performing tomorrow night in honour of 9/11 (all proceeds go to the widows fund). Ca...

I've always loved NYC and this time around it was no different. The ever-busy city has lots to offer for every taste. As we had a rather tight time schedule, then we tried to take it easy (as it was our vacation) and do quite a few things at the same time :) My travelling buddies, Allar and Indrek from back-home Tallinn both fell in love with th...

I cannot believe that I volunteered delaying this Eastern Europe trip for 3 days! After finishing reading Bendersen's "The Romanian," I felt that Romania seems to be a very dangerous place, full of con artists and scary wild dogs. No matter how chic "Lonely Planet" says it is, I think I need to be on high alert when traveling there. Also, I felt...

A double-whammy of tougher visa requirements for foreigners and now, more rules and regulations for visitors to China for the Olympics. Sure, it is designed to ensure terrorists don't disrupt the Games, but you got to wonder at the shotgun approach when a more refined, targeted way of screening outsiders might mean less hardship to those English...

My first day in NY was spent doing laundry. When I arrived at Jenny's I didn't smell too good. She refused to talk to me until I'd showered and then made me wash everything in my backpack. I spent 2 weeks in NY. It was strange to be back, experiencing the city as a tourist, rather than working. I spent my evenings and weekends meeting up with fr...

I'm off to Canada! Via Chicago. Yesterday was my last full day here in NY. I went for a massive walk from where i am at 30st all the way to around 115st where i had lunch at the diner used in Seinfeld. I stopped by the park and read for an hour then continued on. Last night i went out with the girls from Contiki. We went to a restaurant then had...

Well i arrived with the car in one piece. There were a few hairy moments including 1one where i turned to the wrong side of the road in Connecticuit...Oops. Got a cab to my hostel and you wouldn't beleive it but my first conversation with a NY cabbie was about cricket! New York is amazing! I couldn't compare it to anything or any place but could...

I had a fabby time here in NYC. It went so quickly!! I did as much eating as I possibly could ... pizza, turkey, chicken, bread, coffee, bagels, butter!!! Yes it was a feast for the eyes - but I tell you my body did not react as well as I thought it would to all the familiar foods. I suppose that my (mostly) veggie diet with a healthy serving of...

What a great day I had today, very leisurely. I slept in a bit and then put on the bathing suit and headed out to Central Park to lay out and finish The Devil Wears Prada. The Sheeps Meadow is a perfect spot for this, gorgeous sun and grass and people everywhere... but no sports or loud music allowed. When I got hungry I mosied over to 2nd Ave.,...

VISITS: - St. Patrick's cathedral - Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) - Empire State Building - Madisson Squae Garden - Ground Zero We were supposed to also go to the Whitney Museum of American Art today, but decided to skip it for now, since we came out of the MoMA around 3pm, and would like to do some general sightseeing as well, such as Ground Zero...
