Rare markeb Posted March 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2018 May need a little more info here? What are your interests? History, art, shopping? Pizza, Indian, seafood? Michelin starred dining experiences or good places to eat? If I suggest the Met, and you’re not into art, that won’t help you much. I will happily recommend Le Bernadin to any foodie, but if you’re looking for great fish and chips under $50, that ain’t it. So, give us a little more to work with.

George C Posted April 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Born and raised in nyc now visit every year , for steak we found the very famous delmonicos amazing , one of the oldest restaurants in nyc ( but changed locations a few times ) it been visited by lots of presidents and celebrities. We ordered a filet mignon , menu did not say the size , we received a perfectly cooked huge steak, asked waiter how big they were and he said between 12 and 14 ounces , will visit again. It is in the wall st area in lower Manhattan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserchris613 Posted April 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2018 For great skyline views of Manhattan from the East River, as well as close-ups under the Brooklyn, Manhattan, & Williamsburg bridges, take NYC Ferry's East River route. Best part: it's only $2.75 per person! http://www.ferry.nyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

138east Posted April 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2018 In The Westin Jersey.Not sure is a good location. Also I will have a car. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Give us more details about your plans. What ship and date are you sailing? Two people? Your exact date can affect the things you choose to do in NYC. I have no problem with staying at the Westin, particularly if you're sailing from Cape Liberty. They do charge for parking. The Newport PATH station is nearby, so you can easily get to either midtown or downtown Manhattan. However, the PATH schedule is different on Sat and Sun requiring a transfer at Grove St to get downtown, so if you're there over a weekend you might want to do your downtown activities on a weekday and your midtown activities on the weekend. http://www.panynj.gov/path/maps-schedules.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted April 1, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2018 In NYC try to walk to a number of the attractions that interest you. For a greater distance don't hesitate to take a subway (there are many lines) and a city bus if you want a slow ride. Cabs and Uber do get bogged down in traffic ... especially mid-town.

theanoy Posted April 1, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Leave your car at the hotel. Take the PATH train into the city. I like Exchange Place station. $2.75 and a four minute ride will put you at the base of the world trade center. The observation deck of One World Trade is awesome. There is also a restaurant at the top of the tower. The museum and memorial make a good day of it all. multiple subway lines are there so you can get anywhere you want.

There was a approx 25 dollar cost for elevator ride, but. If it is a clear day I think it is worth it, there was no line for this when we did it and ride was great . I would pre buy tickets to museum , I would make sure you had a few hours for this. Trinity church is a couple of blocks away , it is hundreds of years old, also a few blocks away is Frances tavern where George Washington gave is farewell address. Also ferry for Statue of Liberty and Ellis island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted April 8, 2018 #18 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Tourists tend to spend time on the West side of Manhattan. I advise the East side. The United Nations Metropolitan Museum of Art Guggenheim Museum If you want to do something totally different for $5 you can board a bus (commuter not tour) that will take you to Brooklyn .If you take the BM 3 you will wind up in Sheepshead Bay .There is a walking bridge to Manhattan Beach which has great restaurants and is very scenic. The bus to Brooklyn stops on Fifth Ave and E.46 St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Line Posted April 9, 2018 #21 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Tourists tend to spend time on the West side of Manhattan. I advise the East side.... If you take the BM 3 you will wind up in Sheepshead Bay .There is a walking bridge to Manhattan Beach which has great restaurants and is very scenic. The bus to Brooklyn stops on Fifth Ave and E.46 St. Do note the BM3 is an NYC Transit Express Bus it is $6.50 exact change or MetroCard, not $5. It runs weekdays and Saturday during rush hours only and is split into 3 services. Midtown Express, Downtown Express and All Stops. I do suggest the east side you have the 3 Museums mentioned they are all on the Museum Mile which is 8 museums in one mile all easy walking to along Central Park https://www.ny.com/museums/mile.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare markeb Posted April 12, 2018 #24 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I am looking for Inside tips about a bar with good food... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Manhattan, Jersey, Brooklyn? $100, $200, $500??? What are you looking for in the bar??? Not trying to be a jerk, but that's such a wide open question in the NYC metro area as to not be worth answering. For instance, some of the Michelin starred restaurants have no reservation required lounges with great food. And priced accordingly. Give us a little more to work with again.
