Addicted to NYC

Overview

Quote:
At The Manhattan Club, you are central to everything. North, South, East or West, you'll never run out of things to do. Find Balto in Central Park, Go to the Bronx Zoo, Eat at the Jeckyl & Hyde on 6th, Get a big, sloppy Gyro at GYRO II near Madison Square Garden, ride the Roosevelt Island Tram just for the heck of it, shop at Macy's, go to the Battery Park TKTS Booth and you might score front row tickets to Proof like we did!, watch weirdos (and normal people too), get a pizza from Ray's and another from Two-Boots, Walk through Grand Central at rush hour, Plan to spend a few days getting lost in the Natural History Museum....I could go on and on..... Quick Tips: Go for one week and do the ...Read More

Manhattan Club

Hotel | "The Manhattan Club"

Quote:
Best Things Nearby:The fantastic, wonderful, thriving city of NY. 2 blocks South of Central Park, just a short walk from Times Square and everything else I love about NYC.Best Things About the Resort:Location. Size (considering this is Manhattan). The really friendly bell-staff, those guys are great! Resort Experience:The Manhattan Club makes me feel like I own a piece of NY (actually we own 3 weeks there). The day my husband and I walked in for the "tour", we said "Oh, we can never afford this!" but we were wrong. We love going to Manhattan and we always make a point to try new restaurants when we are there, instead of going to the old standbys. I wil...Read More

Staten Island Ferry

Attraction

Like being on a big barge with a bunch of commuters, since that is most of who is on there. Step outside and enjoy the view as you pass the Statue of Liberty.

Central Park Zoo

Attraction | "The Central Park Zoo"

Quote:
This is a great little zoo right inside Central Park. Nice and Clean, a great little diversion while you're wandering about the city. The exhibits are well kept and it wasn't crowded.

Macy's Herald Square

Attraction | "Macy's"

Quote:
Macy's is the place to shop in NYC. Forget the pricy shops on 5th. Go there to browse and Macy's to buy. I have a mall-Macy's near home, but it is nothing like NYC. The flower show in the spring it out of this world - nothing else anywhere quite like it. Lots of bargains for great stuff on the clearance racks. Great Macy Woman area for plus size ladies, but nothing for the big and tall man. Always grab a coupon from somewhere so you can get your free gift at the visitor center. The size of this place is amazing! You could easily spend a day just a Macy's!
