Yep, several times, you'll have a great time. How long are you staying and what sort of trip are you planning? i.e. Sightseeing / nightlife / shopping?

[wanderer]

i went a few years ago. When you leave the airport and go over manhattan bridge look to your right, there is a huge sports stadium and out side of it are the two flying saucer space ships from the film "men in black" . and down by the river is a huge aircraft carrier which you can go on which appeared in an eppisode of "american chopper"

have a great trip

Im staying for 10 days, its sort of a sight seeing and shopping trip, no drink though because you have to be 21 to drink there and its not my 21st til october it was just a spur of the moment trip i booked 8 months ago because id always wanted to go

[Burns]

Definitely lots to do sight seeing wise. Empire state building has fantastic views across Manhattan. It's also worth catching the ferry from Battery park over to see the statue of Liberty and then on to Ellis island for the immigration museum

where are you staying if you don't mind me asking?

 

Dont mnind at all lol! Staying in the helmsley hotel in manhatten for 4 nights at £640 !! my brother booked and i wasnt best pleased lol then im staying with a mate that lives about an hour outside new york for the other 6 nights

[Burns]

so east 42nd street then, not too hard to get anywhere from there

 

we stayed in jersey for a bit of our stay too, not hard to get into the city by bus

[zetecmk2]

me and my mate did the train ride to coney island, got pics of us in all the places that featured in the film "the warriors"

[V8ian]

Been there a couple of times, Love the place, in 4 days you should just get a feeling for the place, -----then want more, Deffo do the aircraft carier, theres now a concorde down there as well, oh and a corvette and a sub that was used for the first submarine balistic missile tests as well, the carrier has all sorts of intresting aircraft on board, and its probably worth getting a guided tour, normally done by ex sailors who served on board, and if you are lucky one who served on board during WW2

of course Battery park and the Statue of liberty, Empire state building, Ground Zero is ,I have been told a good place to visit,?? LOADS of Muesiums [sp] to visit if you are that way inclined, The place where John Lennon was shot is just off central park,

[escortmad79]

Michelle went a few years ago & ended up spending £600 on make up to get rid of money that she hadn't spent & then gave most of it away to her friends!!

 

She wants to go back again sometime in the future

[Tom]

I wasn't overly impressed by the statue of liberty but the empire state building was awesome!!

 

Also for food there's a wicked diner opposite grand central station called pershing square - have the eggs benedict they are great!!

 

also a really good seafood restaurant inside grand central

 

and for a 8" tall deli sandwich and superb new york cheesecake go to carnegie deli at 854 7th avenue at 55th street
