New York New York

Any hints and tips for getting out and about - what to see; how to get there; eating/drinking without bankruptcy! Where to go, where not to go.......

Will have about two days - and the afternoon of Saturday 16th March - when the St Patrick's Day Parade will be on.

Any hints and tips?

Pick a spot on the parade route, get there early and stay there, otherwise you'll not see a thing !!!

Otherwise occupied in the morning and won't be out and about until 1-2 pm. Will it be over by then?

Unlikely the parade will be over, but by that time (13.00 - 14.00) the pavements will be jammed with tourists you won't see anything.

That's such a shame.......I really wanted to see it.

If there are so many tourists, it's probably going to be near impossible to walk anywhere and see the sights?

Re: New York New York

Just spotted this, as you may be aware we were in NYC for Thanksgiving.

Gosh, what do you want to know?
Best way to get about is to buy a Metro card, you can top it up anytime, it is valid on buses too.
I will need a little more info, to help you more.
I know the cheapest places to eat also.
Maybe a PM?????

Hi

New York is a dump, as representative of the USA as London is of the UK.

Overpriced and underwhelming, a Tourist Trap.

The USA is an amazing Country, far better places to see than New York.

It's only saving grace is that the fishing is brilliant.
