Can somebody please help me regarding traveling in new york city?
Q. i'll be spending about 5 days in new york city for my vacation this may, is that enough? what should i include in my itinerary - must see places? does any one know of any cheap but clean hotels? is it recommended to rent a car to go around? i'd get lost if i use the public transportation system (or is it the best way around? the only way around?). how bad is parking and how much? thanks! A. DON'T RENT A CAR! DO *NOT* RENT A CAR!!!!!!!!! NY driving is different than anywhere else..and unless you have mastered the roadways of Cancun or Boston don't drive there!!!!! AND you will pay and arm and leg for insurance and parking AND still won't be able to use your car! use the bus, subway, taxi or WALK! There are many clean, reasonable hotels..murray hill area is out of times square and has many small (tiny) rooms that are reasonable. if this is a once in a life time trip..take one of those day tours the first day..then you can go back and visit anything you missed.
