I arrived in New York and settled in my "pod" room in the Pod Hotel on 51st Street.  It's a pretty nice updated hotel but the rooms are pretty small for singles.  It's about a 6' x 10' efficiency room and I share the bathrooms.  Everything ...

... car we caught a shuttle to the airport where we comfortably checked in for our 1220pm flight. We boarded our plane and arrived in New York at 330pm. Actually, there was a little bit of drama. We caught the subway from JKF to our hotel. Once we entered ...

... chociaz prom dobil po drodze do jeszcze jednego nabrzeza. Gdy przyplynelismy do nabrzeza 79., szybko ruszylismy w kierunku autobusow New York Waterways, ktore za darmo rozwoza pasazerow po Manhattanie. Prawie w biegu dopytalem sie jeszcze, ktorym ...

... ca $100 it is worth remembering this bargain if you ever plan on coming to America yourself catching Public Transport.   New York is a grande city (like the local latte size), filled with beautiful tall sky scrapers and surrounded by the Hudson and ...

Caught the subway uptown to The Bronx Zoo to meet Leights friend Caroline who came to NZ in 2005 as an exchange student. Leight was reallllly excited to see her, it was donation day at the zoo, most people just walk in but we paid 5 dollars each to help ...

...   and the other passengers were happy for us as we told anyone who would listen. We arrive in New York the next afternoon exhausted. The Pod Hotel is a quasi hotel, with small rooms, sink, wi-fi, ipod docking station, a ...

... half an hour ( generous honest)  We leave and wander to our steak house.  No one does a steak quite like the Yanks. New York strip and Cajon something or other and we are both full. Emma spied the desert menu and Well needless to say she won ...

... he got back to base. Wonder if Joe know about that? The hotel room is compact, but clean an very handy for everything New York. Walked for ages when we got here. Grand Central, Fifth avenue, Times Square and Broadway. Emma's eyes never closed. Couldn't ...

We arrived in New York quite late in the evening but we'd arranged to stay in Jamaica (not that Jamaica) to avoid having to work out the subway at night. We got a taxi from the airport but the driver clearly didn't know where he was going and had to stop ...
