Ring : Hit!
How To Pass A Day In New York City. Getting To New York: Served by three major airports, two train terminals and a massive bus depot, New York City is the most important transportation hub in the northeastern USA. John F Kennedy Airport (JFK), 15 miles (24km) from Midtown Manhattan in southeastern Queens, is where most international flights land. Recently voted the third-worst airport facility in the world by business travelers, JFK is best avoided. La Guardia Airport in northern Queens is 8 miles (13km) from Manhattan and services mostly domestic flights. If you're arriving or departing in the middle of the day, La Guardia is a more convenient choice than JFK. Newark Airport is in New Jersey, directly 10 miles (16km) west of Manhattan. Eating In New York: Need some recommendations? Try the relaxed gourmet cuisine of Portuguese restaurant Alfama on 551 Hudson Street (especially on Wednesdays); the funky yet provincial Italian hotspot, Max on 51 Avenue B; and in the summer there is always the 79th Street Boat Basin for sunsets, barbecued food and great atmosphere. Getting Around In New York City: There are 5 main ways to get around New York, they are; By Subway, By Taxi, By Car, By Bus, By Foot The subway isn't the cleanest form of transportation, homeless people live in stations and even in subway cars; but since everyone uses it all the time, central Manhattan is generally considered safe. Nighttime is not necessarily a dangerous time to travel as long as you are taking a popular subway line, abstain from flashy jewelry, and are not going to one of the outer boroughs. Stay away from the platform's edge, and board the train during non-rush hours from the off- peak waiting area, marked at the center of every platform (this area is monitored by cameras, and the conductor's car often stops here). Once you board, try to be in the same subway car as other people you think are safe and stay near the middle to be close to the conductor (you'll see his face from the platform). During rush hour and in crowded stations like 42nd St.-Times Sq., hold your bag with the opening facing you to discourage pickpockets. A real concern for women is sexual molestation - there are quite a few crazies who ride the subways to brush up or grope others. If this happens, be loud in your indignation. When dealing with taxi drivers, remember that they know where they are going better than you, so don't presume to know the best route to somewhere because it's what you've heard. Remember to tip at least 15% and a minimum tip of at least 50 cents if not more. Where To Stay: Lambda Mews - New York City North Chelsea Guest House in fabulous residential loft.
