Guys,

Any suggestions for Manhattan Hotels and New York must sees?

Planning a trip with my 22 year old daughter.

Thanks Scoop

 

I have always used points for stays in NYC, so I can't comment on hotels, although the DoubleTree Times Square is in a perfect location.

Must sees? 9/11 memorial and Museum. MOMA, and the Met. Also look up the Frick Collection is pretty amazing as well.

Not into Art. McSorley's in the East Village is a riot, but maybe not for kids. just don't try to order anything other that Light, Dark or Jameisons.

 

Watch the feet. More excuses for JV and code share coming soon. Can't compete, can't make money, have to pull out of NRT......gmab.... Should help with retirement problems for a year or so though

 

Here are a couple of suggestions:

Plan Your Visit At The Intrepid Museum

Stayed with family at Hampton inn Time Square south. Recently remodeled, super clean, and great breakfast. Rooms were actually much nicer than the Roosevelt that we stay at on Madison Ave. Your about a block off all the action and in the middle of Manhattan, which makes it very convenient and quick to get to any of the attractions.

If you are prior military, you can get 50% off tickets on the circle line boats that tour around Manhattan on the Hudson and East rivers which is a nice way to spend an hour or so depending on the weather (you go right by ellis island, Statue of Liberty, and Staten Island. You also cross under all the famous bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The starting point of the tours is just down the street from Times Square.

Also, we did the day and evening tour on the hop on/hop off bus and it was really worth it, they have a great route at night that goes through Brooklyn on the waterfront looking back at manhattan. Near times square they will be selling the tickets with street vendors, everything is negotiable as far as price. For the posted price of two adults, we got all three kids on free and they threw in the night tour as well.

Also if the weather is bad they have a natural history museum that rivals the smithsonian, and free to military vets. You could spend a whole day in there and not see the entire collections, but may not be a 22yr old's cup of tea.

Last obvious things to do with a 22yr old may be Empire state bldg, go see a show on Broadway, etc. Also, you can ride transit pretty easily from LGA to manhattan, at JFK, there is a flat rate $52 to anywhere in Manhattan cab fare which is a great deal if you have a couple of people and bags!

Have a great trip!

 

AE bids are usually published on the first Friday of the month and close 10 days later. It gives you two weekends at home with the family (I kid, I kid) to discuss your career moves.

With a March 7th indoc, you should be able to bid before it closes. YMMV, opionions expressed are..., consult your own legal or tax professional, etc...

 

Last crew resource memo said next one will be between2nd half of Feb to 1st half of March. I would guess 3/4 as you said, 1st Friday.

 

I have a buddy in the 2/22 class and they found out from the Indoc leaders that it will be 3/4 for the next AE.

 

So there is the "when" answer. Two more weeks and we find out "what and where", followed a few days after the AE closes by "who". And for the new plug on the M88 "why, why, why did I bid that"?

 

Scoop, when I was NYC based I would sometimes stay at the Courtyard 3 blocks from Penn Station, if I had back to back trips and the rate was ok. Airtrain to Jamaica from JFK, then LIRR to Penn. From EWR take the Jersey Transit to Penn. LGA is a cab.
