ba1967 Posted January 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Book on Anthem out of Cape Liberty on May 26. Flying into LaGuardia on 25. Husband wants to do Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island maybe 911 memorial. Dinner in Little Italy. Thinking of staying closer to Battery Park/Financial District. Any thoughts on where to stay that would be near good subway station. Also ideas on getting to port from financial district. Plan on coming back to city and staying nearer Midtown post cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted January 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Look at Double Tree Hilton Financial District. It is showing $206 for the night. It’s within walking distance to Battery Park and WTC. I’ve stayed here for a staycation. The only thing wrong with it is the elevators are slow as molasses. Otherwise it is in a great location. Walk to Bowling Green subway. Or plenty of nice places to eat if you don’t go to Little Italy. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted January 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Everything is concentrated in lower Manhattan. The streets are narrow and the subway stations are physically much closer together than they appear on the Manhattan Subway map - http://web.mta.info/nyct/maps/subwaymap.pdf Fulton St is a massive Station with several lines. Basically all the lines that go up various avenues to midtown are easily accessible from the Wall St/World Trade area. Would you consider accessible public transit to Cape Liberty? I am actually doing that tomorrow and will be posting about it in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ba1967 Posted January 18, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yes let me know about public trans to Cape Liberty. Also best to do uber or car service from Laguardia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted January 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Bowling Green? Is that safe?Wasn't there a massacre there last year? Massacre? Is this a joke? Bowling Green is in the heart of Wall Street. It is also a block from the ferry station in Battery Park. There is no place in the Financial District that I would consider unsafe.

Agree about the level of safety in the Financial District (lower Manhattan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted January 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Post cruise you might consider Radisson Martinique (Herald Square area)....stayed a few days at this hotel with extended family...great convenient location and wonderful rooms.
