OT - query for the NYC crowd
The wife and I are planning a weekend getaway to NYC sometime within the next couple months. The tentative plans include hitching a ride on the Amtrak to Penn Station. Most likely we'll be arriving around lunch time on a Saturday and departing the following afternoon. Would anyone have recommendations for accommodations in the vicinity? Plus, a pilgrimage to BH is, of course, a requisite. The maps I've looked at seem to indicate that their store is very close to the train station. Can anyone confirm this for me? Our time in NYC will be far too short to take in more than one or two sites, so we'd prefer to keep travel within the city to a minimum. Any art museums, restaurants, etc. come to mind? What's it going to take to convince one or two of you to lead us around on a photo tour? -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Scott - accomodations in NY are VERY expensive... You are welcome to stay with me if you don't mind a small bedroom and a cat in the household. I might be convinced to let you buy me a meal in our wonderful Chinatown or one of the neighborhood places :) Dim sum on Sunday morning would be fun for you, too. BH , of course, is closed on Saturdays but open on Sunday I can certainly point you in the direction of some good stuff to see museum wise. If you really want to be economical, you don't need to take Amtrack - the Septa and NJ transit trains are a cheaper way to go and I think there are off peak rates.

Re: OT - query for the NYC crowd
I stayed at the Hyatt at Grand central station in Nov. My sister was in NYC for work and she kindly shared her room with me so I don't know how much it was, but you don't mention what your budget is either. When I got in at Penn I had the option to walk 10 minutes to the line that Grand Central is on, or take 2 trains to get there -- this was almost about 10 minutes. The hotel squats atop Grand Central, but our room on the 15th or 16th floor was very quiet. If I could afford it, I would stay there again. During the night, I went downstairs to photograph Grand Central. I was not bothered by staff about my camera, but they ripped me a new one for using my tripod. Fine, you can drive a car through the middle of the station but I can't use my tripod :P --skye On 12/26/06, Scott Loveless [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The wife and I are planning a weekend getaway to NYC sometime within the next couple months.

Re: OT - query for the NYC crowd
BH is just a couple of blocks from Penn Station. Make sure you go. I don't know if you want to stay at a hotel in the vicinity. That's the garment district, and it's kind of ugly and gloomy. I can't even think of a hotel that's really close. Probably the closest is the Marriott in Times Square, but that's quite the tourist place. It will be filled with Germans and Japanese tourists, which isn't all that bad, but it's a madhouse. You might try the Royalton on 44th street I believe, just east of Times Square. The rooms are tiny but kind of cool, and it has a nice bar scene. My favorite is the SoHo Grand, which is a bit pricey, but it's in Soho, so it's close to some fabulous restaurants and quite a few galleries. It has a great bar scene: The Grand Bar. However, it's a bit distant from the major museums. The Morgan is in the thirties, but on the east side. It's another kind of cool spot with small rooms. It's close to Penn Station, but not within walking distance if you have luggage. If you want to do the museums, you're better off taking a room further north in east midtown. The Loew's Summit on 54th and Lexington used to be somewhat of a bargain. Any midtown hotel is only a short cab or subway ride from Penn Station. If you want to go to the Loew's, you can catch the E train at Penn Station and get off at 53rd and Lexington. It's a no brainer and will only cost you a couple of bucks. Have fun.

There's a really nice little hotel within spitting distance of Grand Central Station.
