Getting TO/AROUND: It's best to use the subway or walk, but sometimes if you can't figure out where you are going and need to get there quick, you may take a cab. What you have heard about NYC cabbies is most likely true. One of ours talked to himself in a language we couldn't identify for the entire ride. I can't say it was cheap, but they did get us where we needed to go.

Getting TO/AROUND: The best tip I got while planning this trip was instead of paying a $50 cab fare to get from the airport to the hotel, take a $2 bus ride on the M60. It takes about an hour and makes several stops downtown. In my case they dropped me 4 blocks from my hotel. Very nice and CHEAP!

Kaspian Thu Oct 25, 2007 15:43 UTC Brains!! | Shar07 Fri Aug 3, 2007 21:44 UTC He was probably not talking to himself....there is hardly a NYC cab driver who does not have a bluetooth (wireless headset). It is illegal to talk on your phone while driving in the city, but they all do it. | spgood301 Fri Jun 29, 2007 13:07 UTC Yes, we must go back for more of those tasty beers. There or somwehere else :-) | Hexepatty Tue Jun 19, 2007 03:52 UTC You made me hungry and thirsty and tired for a nap in Central Park all at once reading these great tips! Stellar job! |
