    Getting TO/AROUND: Yellow cabs are great to use for late night "getting around" but in general, you will spend a ton of unintentional money and still have to do some walking if you rely on taxi service to get you around the city. The subways take a little while to get the hang of but are safe and and easy way to get around. A few tips....taxis are very hard to come by in the theatre district when shows lets out and in the more obscure areas of the city like very western Chelsea and Tribeca they do not come around much in the wee hours...

    Getting TO/AROUND: Many trains arrive in to Grand Central Terminal from surrounding areas, however, it is a site to see in itself. There is the famous clock and the turquoise backed astrological frescos on the ceilings, marble halls that lead from track to track...it is a lovely way to travel. Located on 42nd street between Madison and Lexington avenues

    Getting TO/AROUND: The best way to get around and to see NY in on foot...get a map and a pair of comfortable shoes and hit the streets!

    Getting TO/AROUND: If you are staying somewhere outside of NY city and drive in to the city parking can be difficult to come by...there are a lot of rules and parking in a garage such as this one is VERY expensive...
