1st Visit to New York

Hi All,

Need lots of info please. I am looking at going to New York in October. There will be 2 couples. Need a good hotel, central and good position. Would like to stay for 5 days. What would be the best things to do/visit. All advice very welcome.

Thank you.

Look to the top of this page and the stickies have everything you will need unless your looking to go buffalo hunting hence maybe one of the experts can help you ;-)

I%26#39;m going in 2 weeks and staying in the Shelburne Murray Hill so i%26#39;ll post a review when i get back but the reviews are good and it%26#39;s very reasonable.

Your budget will dictate your accomodation and everywhere is central as you have the subway.

Happy reading

The best thing I can advise you to do is this: plan things well ahead. New York is an immense metropolis, there%26#39;s so much to see and if you don%26#39;t plan things carefully, problems will arise.

Google Maps (maps.google.com) could be a great help: it features not just maps, but also itineraries, reviews, addresses, etc. You could print small maps of the areas that you want to visit: they are more detailed and easier to use than conventional maps (but don%26#39;t forget to buy one of these, too, of course).

One thing you simply HAVE to do is go to Times Square at night. I know it%26#39;s a clich茅, but it%26#39;s always a memorable experience.

Have a great trip!

Thanks for the info.

What is it like to stay in Times Square, too noisy?
