Q. For Christmas i got my parents two tickets to Phantom of the Opera in NYC at the Majestic Theater. I am looking for a nice restaurant they can go to that is near the theater. I also want to get them a giftcard to the restaurant. Any suggestions?
A. I work right by there and there are plenty of restaurants in the theater district.
*Carmine's-famous Italian restaurant known for their family-style meals
*John's Pizzeria--one of the famous pizzerias in NY that serves not only pizza, but other Italian favorites as well. This is located in an old church and is very pretty inside.
*Pongsri Thai Restaurant
*Da Rosina--Italian with a prixe fixe theater menu that lets you choose from everything.
*Bond 45-a few blocks away with an extensive menu
*Blue Fin-right in the W Hotel, great seafood and sushi and a nice treat for dinner.
*The View restaurant in the Marriott Marquis--dine on top of the world at this restaurant that gives you a 360 degree view of NYC.
Also check out 46th Street, which is lined with restaurant after restaurant--most of which have a prixe fixe pre-theater menu.

Any suggestions for posh hotels in Manhattan?
Q. I am looking for something along the lines of the 'W' and the Vandervoort Hotels... Something hip, quirky, and fun. Price is not really an issue, but creativity is! Thanks!
A. The Time and The Library hotels are both trendy and quirky. If you want something luxurious and a little more "old school" try The Pierre, the Sherry Netherland or the Peninsula. If you really want to splurge try The Carlyle on the Upper East Side.
If you do go with a "W", keep in mind that NYC has five of them: W New York, W Times Square, W Union Square, W Tuscany and W Court.

Need help with public transportation from Newark airport to NYC?

I will be staying at Econo Lodge near Newark airport. I am planning to go to NYC from Newark airport via train or bus (cheap transport - not cab).
Could you guys help me with public transportation from Newark airport to the following places
1) Times square
2) Statue of liberty
3) Rockefeller center, Central park
Also, I've heard that they charge $10 extra per person if you travel from Newark airport railroad; is that true?
Thanks!

A. My friend, if the hotel you're staying has a shuttle bus service, take the bus from the hotel to the North Elizabeth train station.
Once at the North Elizabeth train station, take any New York City-bound NJ Transit train to New York Penn Station.
Once in NYC, transfer to the New York City subway.
For Times Square, take the uptown (northbound) #1, 2 or 3 subway lines (Red Line) from Penn Station to Times Square.
For the Statue of Liberty, take the downtown (southbound) #1(Red Line) from Times Square to South Ferry. You can also take the downtown (southbound) "R" or "W" lines (Yellow Line) from Times Square to Whitehall Street - South Ferry.
Once at South Ferry, follow the directional signs to Castle Clinton and hop on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.
You can also the take the Staten Island Ferry, from South Ferry to Staten Island. The ferry passes the Statue on it way to and from Staten Island. The ride on the ferry is free.
For the Rockefeller Center, take the uptown (northbound) "R" or "W" lines (Yellow Line) from Whitehall Street - South Ferry to 34th Street, where you can transfer to the uptown (northbound) "B", "D", "F" or "V" lines (Orange Line).
Take either line northbound from 34th Street to Rockefeller Center.
For Central Park, take the uptown (northbound) "B" or "D" lines (Orange Line) to 59th Street-Columbus Circle, or the uptown (northbound) "F" (Orange Line) to 57th Street. From either subway station, exit and walk to the park.
The fare on the subway is $2 each way, however if you in town for a day or a week, you can purchase a 1-day unlimted ride Fun Pass or a 7-day unlimited ride MetroCard. The 1-day unlimted ride Fun Pass cost $7.50 and the 7-day unlimited ride card cost $25.
A round trip off peak ticket on NJ tranist from North Elizabeth to New York Penn Station, cost $9.25.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck and enjoy you trip
