I recently went on honeymoon to New York. The best city in the world and I strongly recomend people to go there!!
New York
Oh thats great! I would love to go there! Beautifull city eh?
When you are talking about New York, I assume you mean upstate new york? like around Binghamton that is a small city surrounded by farms. People always assume New York means New York City while New York means New York state which is a decently large state with the majority of the population not living in NYC.

That's a mistake I always make. It's New York, New York - so good they named it twice. Went there exactly a year before 9/11 and went to the top of the twin towers - never seen anything like it. Best city I've been to!
realy , he is te beatifulkl place !

I'd suggest that you check http://www.travelocity.com/
I've spent many child hood summers in Brooklyn and it's a very beautiful place. Last year I took my family there for there first visit and they loved New York City.
I'm going to NY this summer. If someone had any tipps what to visit and see there, it would be highly apprecciated. I will only stay there a few days though, because i heard its rather expensive over there.

Where in NY will you be staying? It's a big city, if you narrow it down I can give you plenty of sites and things to do. Are you driving there? or will you be using the subway? walking? cabs?
Except for two short business trips which left me no free time in NYC, all my recollections go back to my four semesters at NYU. When I get a chance to visit, I'll have to find out if:
- Is the "Crime INC" bookstore (somewhere in the west 80ies?) still around and as well stocked as it was?
- Is the Washington Square Hotel on Waverly Place still as dirty and run-down as it always was?
- Is the Thalia Theater on Broadway still showing film-noir classics on Thursdays?
- Is there really a "When Harry Met Sally" plaque at Katz's?
- Will the hustlers on Washington Square still let me win 1 chess game in 5 to keep me happy?
- Is the Imperial Theatre on West 45th Street, where I saw my first Broadway show (Neil Simon's "They're Playing Our Song" with Robert Klein and Lucie Arnaz) still standing?
- What the devil was the name of the old hotel somewhere on East 48th or 49th that served the best hamburgers (medium-rare) I have ever eaten in their downstairs bar?
- ...I can keep this up all night ...
I hope I could come back as soon as pôssible to New-York, it's a wonderful city with a unique ambience;
I have a layover at JFK on my way to hawaii this summer. I really just wanna see a glimpse of the city, I have 3 hours and 45 mins between my flights. I read somewhere that the subway took about 30mins from JFK to 5th avenue. Could I make it into NYC, take some pics, and then go back?

I suppose it is doable for the brave at heart. My last overseas flight to the US was a few years ago but if security is still as time-consuming as it was (even if you don't need to go through customs / passport control / immigration and have no baggage to check), getting to your gate does not involve a 2 mile hike, if you can find your terminal without trouble and the subway stop is strategically placed, then you stand a chance. ... or your best pic will show your flight taking off without you.
I would rather buy myself a cup of coffee, go sit outside and listen to the cabbies and luggage porters, then take the shuttle to my terminal, stroll comfortably to the gate, stopping on the way to buy a few postcards.
Whenever i have seen NY in all those movies i had always wished and loved to go there...!!! Hope to be there at least for once in my life time...!!!
Hello and regards to all NY citizens in Frihost community...!!! God bless your city...!!!

I really want to go there. I mean thats the heart of our modern world, it must be fascinating to feel the pulse.
I've heard that Central park is reaaallly big, is that true? Kinda like a piece of forest in the middle of the city almost? That's kinda awesome if it is.
It's not exactly a forest but it is a very big park. It's pretty cool
It's even cooler if you look at the aerial view of Central Park, relative to the surroundings. It's so crazy- a patch of green in an urban sea.
I mean, I've lived in New York my whole life, never more than a half hour away from brooklyn, manhattan, what have you. It's almost funny, because I know I'm taking it for granted, and then when I grow older, I'll look back at this, and wonder why I didn't take advantage of living in New York. People dream of coming here, don't they?
That being said, it certainly is a great place. I think the diversity, and the amount of variation that you can find here, make it really interesting. You walk one block in brooklyn, and suddenly, you've gone from jewish orthodoxy, where people don't even use the trains on saturdays, to streets where there's absolutely no english on store signs.
Beautiful? Eh, if you're into the beauty of skylines, glittering neon backed by a dark night, or even the artistic fun of a busy city scene. Traditional beauty? Not so much, though.
It's great, though- visit!

Dude, I really wanna go! And btw, how is the price level in NYC? Is everything very expensive? Im primarily talkin about food, housing etc. Are there any cheaper alternatives?
People always assume New York means New York City while New York means New York state which is a decently large state with the majority of the population not living in NYC.
why?
why?
maybe because NYC is know world-wide, and pretty much no one knows that there even is a state named New York too?
Went there a couple of years ago, and frankly my impression wasn't that overwhelming... Well, granted, the first sight that met me after getting off the airport shuttle, was Time Square, and it was pretty intense... I was impressed, but at the same time really confused.. And that was more or less the feeling that travelled with me around to the different parts of the city.
My stay there was really short, and partly because of that, the mentioned confused feeling was what I remember the best.. It was like going to different sub-cities no matter where you went away form Manhattan, and to create a combined image of these in few days, is more or less impossible..
But yea, maybe it's jut a question of going back there and stay for a longer period..

My (then brandnew) wife and I flew from Brussels to NYC some 25 years ago. It was overwhelming! I felt as if I had stepped into a Kojak tv show. Wow!!!!
And what was even greater: After 3 days in the city we picked up the car we had rented and spent two weeks driving in upstate New York, up to the Finger Lakes and the Niagara falls and into Canada. Not many people seem to know this, but New York State is beautiful... lotsa woods and lakes galore.

AAAAHHHHHHH!!! NY NY, Pavement, tall buildings, people, and central park for your trees and such. What more can one ask for? Huh. As a former resident of NYC I still Love NY. And soon I`ll be back up there for a visit.

KewlDudemanEven thought I have never been to NY, I think I will like it alot because of what I have heard and seen. Also my favorite TV shows ,Friends and Seinfeld and my favorite movie GODFATHER are all set in this city so more reasons to like it
Some of the very many interesting things in new york:
-You can go bird watching in Central Park and it is one of the best bird watching sites in the east coast, because it's where all the birds stop over on their migration (they dont have much choice)
-You can walk from Battery Park, the southern tip of Manhattan, all the way up and every few blocks, the atmosphere of the neighborhood is completely different--a different ethnicity or subculture
-It has many of the world's largest ethnic communities
-The food is really, really good
-It has Columbia University and New York University, two of the best schools in the world
-There are world class museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American MUseum of Natural History
-You can hear world class concerts in Lincoln Center, often for not very much money

I love NYC though I'v not been there . I know New York City is a beautiful and modern city . One of my dreams is to visit NYC or live there .
what sucks now though is that the dollar is going back up which makes it more expensive to visit America
