Is NYC a city of opportunity for just the white collars? What about blue collar workers and the lower-class?
What opportunities does one have without a college education?
Thank you all in advance.
|||The unions pay well for the trades, but in some of them you need to know someone to get in, but not all. There's a lot of construction going on in New York right now so there should be jobs in construction.
There are lots of service jobs usually like bartending and working in restaurants because there are so many. The public transportation agencies all usually have jobs that don't require a college degree.
If you are determined and willing to work you will find something. Good luck to you.|||there are opportunities in nyc that you wouldn't find in other smaller cities...people who who want to become actors, models, wall street tycoons, etc. move to nyc...common people can become millionaires there...i have a couple personal friends who work for martha stweart show and another friend who workds for the letterman show...but for the most part, people just struggle with common jobs and never get the big break they were hoping for...
I'm currently a full-time Mech Engineering student at the University at Buffalo and am considering transferring to either LA or NYC. Can anyone tell me what are some of the good (not necessarily the absolute best, but very good still) engineering schools in NYC or LA? I've looked at UCLA and Columbia. I'm looking for a school with good resources and technology, well funded. I have a 4.0, so Academically am not concerned about difficulty, but some places like NYU costs like $50,000 which seems crazy. Any ideas?|||Information will be found below.
I was wondering how to get to Newport Centre Mall from nyc. I live around Avenue P in Brooklyn.|||I think it would fastest to take N transfer to 2 or 3 at Atlantic Ave. take 2 or 3 to Park Place and take PATH from World trade Center to Pavonia/Newport (one stop, make sure you get on Hoboken train) Taking Path from 33rd St, you are going much further North in Manhattan than required.|||My friend, take the Manhattan-bound (northbound) "F" train to 34th Street.
Once there transfer to the PATH train, either the 33rd Street - Journal Square train to Pavonia-Newport.
Once at Pavonia-Newport, exit the PATH Rail station and follow the directional sign to the mall.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck and happy shopping
Native New Yorker|||Take the B D or N/R to 34th St; switch to the PATH train; take it to Pavonia/Newport in NJ|||All I know is you got to come out of the Holland tunnel..once your out make a left..You'll past one light and make another left onto mall ramp...
I will be a single makeup artist living in nyc and I want to get a dog. What would be a good choice?|||I live in NYC as well! I would recommend a smaller dog, only because their easier to care for in the city - they don't need the space to run and you can take them everywhere! But it depends on you, really! I have a Maltese, but Yorkies, Westies, any kind of Terrier would be a great addition to you household. It really boils down to what's important to you. When I got my dog, I lived in Maine. But I knew that I wanted a dog small enough that I could take him on a plane with me, in a car, on vacation... etc. And now that we live in NYC, it's great. I can put him in my bag and go on any public transportation. I take him to every store, restaurant, bar that I go to. He's very social.
But if you are willing to hire a dog walker or walk your dog numerous times a day for long periods, then get a bigger dog. They just need a lot of exercise and the city can be hard for that. There are some really good sites for determining what kind of dog a family needs. Google it and do the research on different dog breeds - you'll find a good companion.|||I have many of my Cavaliers who do wonderfully in the City. See if you can find a breeder who litter box trains their puppies....it's been a wonderful bonus for City pups!|||Small Dogs.
Any small dog would fit! There is a problem with big dogs there because there exercise and playfulness is to high that an apartment can't handle it.
Good Luck! :)|||i have a poddle, she don't even bark,she is small a fun to be with, and poddles don't shed, but you do have to get them groomed|||Maybe it'd be best to get a small dog for your apartment

and probably one that dosn't need that much exercise
My girlfriend is originally from RI and she used to go used to travel up to new bedford and have blade meat sandwiches. It was a portuguese restaurant and we later came to find the sandwiches was cacoila.
Does anyone know where i can find cacoila in the five boroughs of nyc or north jersey? I could find a recipe online but its not the same.|||Ok from what I can understand those are a pulled pork type sandwich. . . Coming from the Oporto area of Portugal, which is where the issue is apparently most of the Portuguese places around here are based on mainland cuisine. . so those are a hard find. The biggest Portuguese population is in Newark so you may need to travel out there to find what you are looking for.
I would defenitely do your best to call ahead and just ask the chef if he makes it!

BTW: I know you say that making it at home isn't the same, but honestly if you hit up Newark's Ironbound markets and get the right type of meats and research all your ingredients and slow cook your meat to get that right pulled slow roasted texture, I have a feeling you may even shock yourself. I often find homemade to be waaayyy better. (Just a thought!)
I want to buy a cute kitten, not very expensive. I've never thought it would be so complicated to actually get a cat in NYC...I've been looking online at some NY pet adopton sites, but they only give adult cats away, and most of them look kind of sick...So where do you think I should get the kitty cat?|||this time of year its harder to find kittens - probably the adoption places have kittens but dont put them on the web because kittens go so fast and its the adults who need homes more despirately.. if you see them in person you can determine if they are sickly... usually most SPCA's have health guarantess so probably its just bad photoes....
DO NOT EVER BUY A PET FROM PET STORE.. they dont care about you or the pets just the cash.... and they over charge too!!!!
seriously get from the local shelter or SPCA these are non-profits so you get more quality than what you pay for|||The SPCA.|||SPCA, or you could contact you local vet and get their recommendation.|||your favorite chinese restaurant|||WHy do you want to buy one? There are literally millions of kittens in the country who need homes, that you can get for free. Try your local Humane Society.|||Go to the nearest ASPCA or any animal shelter and you can get them for free. Or you can just let people know you want one and you will have one is a short time. If you want a breed go on line a look for the nearest rescue shelter for that breed and they will only charge you a small amount.
In NYC, there are numerous businesses that cheat tax. For example, the 99 cent store collects $1.08 for the item. They made $6480 per month. However, they only report $3000 to IRS.
I am sure they do this because they don't have credit card machines. When I ask them why, they said that they don't want to report to the IRS for earnings.
I want to uncover their unlawful acts. What should I do? I don't have any solid evidence but if you tell me what type of evidence is needed, I can do it. A bill, a photo, anything.|||Unless you are the accountant or bookkeeper for the store you have no knowledge of what is going on and have no way to get that knowledge. What a cashier earning minimum wage tells you is meaningless. Since you have no evidence, the IRS would ignore your complaint.
Get a life and worry about yourself, not what some min-wager at a dollar store tells you. If anything dodgy is going on, the IRS will figure it out sooner or later.
FYI, most 99垄 stores don't take credit cards because of the fees and charges involved. They operate on razor thin margins and the credit card fees would eat deeply into their profit. Also, a store only bringing in $6,480 per month won't stay in business very long given the thin profit margins in that type of business.|||Unless you are their accountant you have no idea what they do or do not report to the IRS.
Credit card payments are not related to taxes at all. They just don't want to pay the commission to the credit card companies, and I can't blame them for that. I think the commission is 4%.|||if there is a suspicion of tax fraud the IRs will audit the business and go over their books. just call the IRs you don't want to be accused of tampering with evidence.|||Are you an ex-employee there?
If a company were cheating on taxes, why would they tell a random stranger that they report a lesser amount. That doesn't make sense.
If the additional 9 cents on the 99 cent item is tax, they return that to the government separately.|||send an anonymous note to the irs, giving them the details and name and address of the business and tell them to check out the place
After 8 years of teaching I need to get a job of a waitress or hostess in NYC. They require resumes for the most positions. I am afraid that my current resume with all my experience and degrees will push away more than attract a job. Would you be able to recommend anything?|||If you are not much experience... then you better to choose a focus on your education and achievements rather than a focus on your career development.
there are a lot of such sites....:
In addition, while preparing a technical resume, you need to showcase your technical skills. In case of a software engineer resume, the technical skills to be highlighted include knowledge of databases, operating systems and computer languages.

A Functional resume is meant for highlighting your strengths and positives. This type of resume is best suited for a candidate seeking career change or a job seeker having experience in diverse fields. The prime aim of functional resume is to showcase the skills relevant to the job applied for.

i live in Canada and i am planning to study in NYC but i don't know where to start what to do and where to live i just need help with the steps to get there (i already know what school i'm going to)|||You need to get a student visa: http://www.usastudentvisa.org. Your school will probably help you with this. After you submit your application and get accepted, you're set to go find an apartment.
I don't know what borough your school is in, but if it's Manhattan you probably want to live in an outer borough since Manhattan rent is horrible and especially bad since you're converting from CAD. Queens is relatively safe and the rent is okay. Brooklyn rent is probably a bit better (in some areas) but the crime is higher. There are many websites that can help you find an apartment: http://www.nycdwellers.com is one of them. There is also this service called the EHS which helps students find roomates and rooms: http://www.studenthousing.org. That is probably your safest bet, quite literally.
Good luck! New York is amazing and you'll have a great time!|||you need to go to the US consulate or embassy and apply for a student visa, once you are accepted by a school ( you apply in advance) you will likely be issued a visa to study, ( and sometimes work while studying) in the USA.
I'm a single woman going to NYC I need to know what are the safest neighborhoods where rent isn't extremely crazy. I realize that this is one the most expensive and high crime cities in the country but I'm self employed so I'm not looking for a penthouse just my own place no matter how small as long as it's in a safe area. I would like the Bronx but it doesnt have to be there.|||http://nymag.com/realestate/neighborhood鈥?/a>|||My family lives in the throgs neck area, right near the bridge. Its a nice Italian area.

Delta also works with hotels.com|||i use orbitz.com|||I would look on Travelocity.com|||It depends on where you're flying from. Try AirTran Airway
Frontier Airlines
JetBlue Airways
Skybus Airlines
Southwest Airlines
Spirit Airlines
Sun Country Airlines
Then go to priceline.com and go to name your own price. Choose all areas, and go to 1 or 2 star hotels. Put in $125 and hopefully you will get something...this is a very popular time and you will be lucky to find something. However this is the cheapest way to go.
Good luck!|||Go to http://www.grab2travel.com

Try "SmartSearch" - Enter your trip detail once and compare all major travel sites from one place without entering same trip information again and again ! I liked it... worth to bookmak !
I want to fly from California to Toronto...go see Niagara Falls...then go to NewYork City and then back to California. What is the best way to get from Niagara Falls in Canada to NYC? I don't want to rent a car. I think it would be nice to somehow take a bus or greyhound or something so we could see things on the way to nyc. any good tips or good places i should think about going?|||rent a car if you can, the bus is long and boring trip. by car you can stop and see things, eat go to the bathroom etc. I've driven to NYC and it is a GORGEOUS drive. (I would recommend heading to boston for a day or two then to NYC (only about 2 hours apart).
While in the falls you shouold head to niagara on the lake as well. Gorgeous town (20 minutes from the falls). Plenty to do, winery tours, seeing fort george is a msut and some great shopping|||Just look around and have fun I guess =)
My wife doesn't feel secure in her english writing and speech. I'm trying to find a good place for her to go in nyc. She is originally from puerto rico but lives in Ny now for over 10 years. She speaks fluently, reads and writes english but she still feels unsecure and wants to learn more. Any suggestions of a place that won't teach her like its the 1st time learning English.|||Any community college.
She could take foundation composition courses.
And, maybe a few public speaking electives.
Lots of the schools in NYC also have a Continuing Education department who could point you in the right direction for night and weekend classes.
For Christmas, I am surprising my boyfriend with a trip to NYC which we will take in February, and he has not ever been. I have been once and saw all of the tourist-type things like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park and those sort of things...
We will only be there the weekend, so I would like to do some unforgettable things, some hole-in-the-wall things, and some beautiful things.
We love music, we are both vegetarian, we love contemporary art, and I love to shop...;)
What do you suggest?|||When I go to New York, I ty to stay in the Times Square area because there kis so much to do. I try to take in a broadway show (there are many shows as well as the David Letterman taping on 54th street that you could attend). You might try a horse and carriage ride through Central park (which is close by). Rockefeller Center is close by - the Empire sate Building and Madison Square Garden are also with about 1 mile walk or a short cab ride away. If your boyfriend likes sports, you'll have the Rangers and Knicks at MSG.|||Go Ice Skating. There are many rinks through-out Manhattan (Central Park, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center).
If $ isn't an issue, go on a horse carriage ride in Central Park. It's so romantic!
Me and a few friends are planning a trip to nyc in sept. but we'd prefer not to stay in an over priced hotel and chill in the city like local new yorkers.

As a heads up, there are a lot of brokers/agency's trying to rent out vacation rentals in NY. That being said there is nothing wrong with using a broker or agent just be weary of who you use. The rule of thumb i tell all my guest (I live in New York) that if its too good to be true don't fall for it. Most places that rent vacation rentals in NY will accept credit cards, and I suggesting using one just in case you get there and the place doesn't exist (be ware people are running scams all the time). I suggest doing your due diligence and rent from someone who sounds honest, and willing to give you information such as a local phone number (local numbers include area codes 718, 212, 646, 347, 516, 631), a local address where you can meet to do the exchange. Avoid writing checks out to CASH.|||vrbo.com is your best bet|||vrbo.com
I'm obsessed :)
I will be visiting NYC in June with a party of 4 people. Which neighbourhood is safe yet central to attractions?
Many Thanks!|||Midtown Manhattan is where you need to be to be pretty central to all of the attractions. You can use the subways also to get to attractions quicker. Just invest in a pass for however many days you need it. You can get an unlimited pass for $27pp for 7 days, or alternatively you can buy a metro card that you can top up whenever you need to. Subway prices are usually $2 per ride.
As for the apartment thing, do you mean to rent out an apartment or stay in a hotel/apart-hotel. If its the first it will be quite hard to find something as prices are sky high. If its the second I would definitely recommend the 'Wellington Hotel' on 7th Avenue 56th Street. I've just got back from there today/yesterday and it is great for location! Only 1-2 minutes walk to central park, 5 minutes to times square (you can see times square from the hotel). As for the other attractions such as Rockefeller, Empire State, Macy's, NBC Studios, etc, they are all within easy walking distance.
To see the statue of liberty you would need to get a subway, taxi or bus to get to the staten island ferry. The staten Island ferry is free and you get to cruise by ellis island and the statue of liberty, as well as getting the chance to stop off on Staten Island (you don't have to of course).
I was quite scared to use the subways but I found that they were pretty safe. Even at night time they were great. However, saying this I only used the subway at the latest 7.30pm. I imagine if you leave it later than 8.30 it may start to feel unsafe. But overall New York seemed safe. I've been told not to go to the Bronx and some places in Harlem because there are supposed to be gangs, so I never went up there.
I hope you have a wonderful time and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! =)|||Midtown is very safe and populated at all hours, and located close to many New York City attractions such as lower central park, times square, rockefeller center, 34th street shopping district, and many high end shops on Fifth ave. There are plenty of things to do in Midtown manhattan. Have fun

Noisy neighbor horror stories
Parking hassles
I heard the qualify of life is horrible and everything is overpriced.
If you live in NYC, which borough? And how did you manage to find a
quiet apartment? And how did you manage to park your car easily?|||Nope. California is far worse. We deal with strange wannabe "artsy" unwashed people, heavy traffic, utterly horrendous street planning, and the worst state government imaginable.|||NYC is not annoying if you are a city person. Tourist traps, such as Time Square, tend to be filled with annoying people from all over the world. Those are annoying places to be. Manhattan is hard to find parking unless you would like to pay crazy prices. If youre looking for a quieter place out of all the burroughs I would probably suggest looking in Queens. See, a place I would find annoying to live is like Kentucky or Wisconson. If youre a lively person NYC would be great for you!|||What is the qualify of life? Who writes like this? Midwesterners?|||Perhaps you are just not cut out for life here, but that doesn't make NYC annoying.
There are many quiet parts of town. Not all neighbors re noisy.
Having a car isn't everything. not having a car can be very liberating in a city that has good mass transit. Many New Yorkers feel blessed at NOT having to own a car.
While things are expensive here, we also get paid commensurately more.
Look, you don't HAVE to live here. Live in some plain vanilla suburb in the sun belt, if you want cars and quiet. No one is stopping you.
But just because you don't have what it takes to live here doesn't give you leave to insult us!
EDIT: I see you've blocked me from one viewing one of your questions posted under another screen name. Did you block Yawker, too, since he's onto your duplicitous as well?|||ENOUGH ALREADY!!
How compulsively dense can one person be, that they use multiple Yahoo accounts to repeatedly ask the same questions and make the same accusations over and over again? You're not only incapable of comprehension, you appear obsessed.
Parking hassles, quiet apartments, noisy neighbors, boroughs, boroughs, boroughs.
If NYC is so annoying, then why do you want to move here? Why claim that you are moving here in your other questions?? Do you really think that nobody will notice??

If he's willing to risk traffic jams and a somewhat long drive (because then Manhattan streets will also be crowded with traffic jams and then you need to find a parking space which is hopeless so you might as well pay lots of money for a parking garage), then that's fine.|||Fairfield

I am taking my 2 daughters to NYC in June. We are looking for the "cheapest" place to stay in a safe neighborhood.|||I think most Hostels accept children, as long as they are accompanied by a parent. Hostels are cheap hotels for world travelers. Hostelworld.com will pull up hostels and you can also view hotels.
AirBnB.com is a GREAT site for renting peoples apartments for the weekend/week. That is great because it's more homey and usually they are a lot cheaper than a hotel.
Regarding safe neighborhoods...Manhattan is pretty much safe all over now as long as you stay below 110th Street. South Brooklyn is very safe and close to Manhattan as well (Williamsburg, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights). The days of old scary NYC are gone and it's all pretty sanitized and family friendly now.
I would try airbnb.com. Good luck and have fun!!|||The West Village is not rough at all. It's actually one of the most expensive zip codes in the city.

How much money should I carry with me while visiting NYC for sight seeing for 2 persons?what precautions should I take when I take my money out of wallet?|||It really depends on which sight seeing you're going to... depending on the sight seeing buses alone might cost you over $50.00 each for the tour.. If you're just checking out the sites in New York, you can get an unlimited day metrocard for about $7 dollars or $7.50 each. If you would like to go check out the statue of liberty, that may cost you about $15 to $20 each. All the other sites like 5th avenue, Soho, Central Park, Rockefeller, battery park, etc are pretty much free unless you buy things on your own. Most museums are fairly affordable as well and it won鈥檛 cost you a forture..
As for meals, most meals are fairly expensive but depending on where you go, you can find a nice meal for a decent price. For example, if you鈥檙e on a budget, you can get lunch for 2 for $10 at Chinatown or the Lower East Side.. if you want a nice sit down dinner on the west side, you can run you up to $20 each. It really depends on where you go and what you want to do. For the money, if you鈥檙e in manhattan, for the most part, you do not have to worry about your wallet when you take it out.. No one will rob you in broad daylight and it鈥檚 pretty much very safe in Manhattan.|||It totally depends on your budget and what you want to see
http://www.citysightsny.com/ is a cheap tour bus that has all inclusive plans adults are 80 bucks each and cover alot.
There is much to see free here though, and if you don't want the tour but would like to cruise past the statue of liberty, hop on the staten island ferry, it's free-on the island you can go to the old mariners home, a beautiful free park! For more upscale you can take a limo tour rates are surprisingly low for limos here!
As far as your money goes, Manhattan is very safe now days but use normal precautions! Don't carry around designer bags or look super rich when you are walking around unknown places, keep part of your money put away in your front pocket, and leave maybe 100 in your wallet, and a couple of 5's in your other pocket to buy things from the street vendors. Never buy anything like purses or watches in the park or street on Chinatown's are all fakes!

They share one thing for sure...who in their right minds would live there outside of the Prime Pillagers? Masochists perhaps?
And if there was no such thing as a masochist I wonder what would happen to the pillagers. Would they go green and homestead lol?
Clueless and homeless in the land of the free.|||The average rent in NYC is about 1500 for a studio apt not including utilities and its home to some of the biggest corporations, so id say there are many ppl who make above average income. There are poor people everywhere, not just in the city. Ever heard of the people in the Apalachian mountains? Go read a book.
There are also many CLEAN city areas and suburbs in NY. Again go read a book.
NYC is different in the sense it is a huge melting pot, has alot of culture and history, and truly never sleeps!|||NYC has no wall marts. That should tell you something.|||They don't call NYC the "Capital of the World" , "The City that Never Sleeps" or the "Big Apple" for nothing. Born and raised in Manhattan and now living in Northern NJ. I have come to realize all that I took for granted while living in NYC.

It is clean (although a humid summer day may kick up the grime), As you can see the morning after they drop the New Years Ball in Times Square. The department of sanitation is all over it!
New Yorkers may be to the point and straightforward, no bull... they are in fact very friendly.
Although I love Philly, Philadelphia is having a major problem with crime and safety.
Every city has crime, but New York has really pulled itself up to be a wonderful place to live or visit.|||haha, no
NYC is not anything like philly
i've only been to philly twice but when i was there it was reallll clean, uncrowded, no skyscrapers, people were nicer & it was just two completely different places.|||NYC is not bronx qeens and parts of brooklyn When you say NYC you mean MANHATTEN. and i can GUARENTEE you that people who live in MANHATTEN do NOT have below income salaries. If anything they're filthy rich. Parts of Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, yes ofcourse. That's because it's mostly for hispanicas and blacks that have the small income. Whites are the rich ones mainly, in NY's 5 boroughs. I live in Brooklyn NY and i love NYC it's the best city to live in in the WORLD.|||NO. Philly is tiny compared to New York.
AND FYI, while there are low income people here, Manhattan has lots of extremely RICH; people living here as do parts of Queens and Brooklyn, Staten is pretty much all middle class and upper middle class.
New York is unique in THE WORLD. We have people from more different countries than any other city. Financial, Publishing and Arts and Entertainment Center.
You don't know squat about NYC. I would say come visit and find out for yourself but I suspect you would better off staying on the farm.|||Boston, Washington, and Chicago are fairly similar to New York. They have dense urban centers, large mass transit systems, and a real sense of different neighborhoods within the cities each with their own character. I don't know Philadelphia well enough to make a judgment. Most US cities have only a small downtown, suburbs, and inner-city areas - rather than a large mix of neighborhoods within the city. Most US cities have minimal mass transit, a downtown that empties out after the workday ends, and few high or middle-income people living within the city itself.|||NYC is a different world from the rest of the USA, definitely. Philly has more bad neighborhoods, and alot of historical stuff, not to say that NYC doesn't. But NYC is bigger, louder, more of a sensory overload of moving screens, advirtisements, people handing out papers advertising plays and stuff. Assuming that when you say NYC, you are referring to the borough of Manhatten. There are five boroughs, Manhatten, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, The Bronx. NYC really is huge. Connected by a bunch of bridges. Philadelphia is a city in the state of Pennsylvania. Both have alot of cultures and people from all over, but geographically, they are really different. Philly's not an island, NYC is...okay, sorry if this is too long!|||I like both places But NYC just is so full of life and such a huge mix of things and places to go. Yes they both have big buildings but NYC is just so much fun I love Little Italy, Fashion District, o I could go on forever.|||Well you have to look at it in terms of ratios. Since there are more people here: millions compared to other cities/suburbian towns obviously there will be more poor. But also there are more RICHER people here. You'll see cars that you won't see in other cities here: my neighbor owns a lamborghini. porsches are common. Philadelphia is UGLY NASTY DIRTY compared to NYC. You have to go to midmanhattan where classy people like me are.|||No NYC thinks that they are different from the rest of the world. Last time I checked they had people just like everyone else.
Don't let Philadelphians know you compare them those damn Yorkers.
NYC Subway system was operated by several different companies at one point, and now they are all operated by the MTA.|||On June 15, 1953, the New York State Legislature created the New York City Transit Authority (now MTA New York City Transit) as a separate public corporation to manage and operate all city-owned bus, trolley, and subway routes.
Is rent controlled apartments in NYC subject to your salary level.
Is there a cut off limit on what your salary is?
Finally,with all the scams going around ,what is the most SAFE and efficient way to look for a rent controlled apartment in NYC?|||Rent Controlled apartments are being phased out. The only way to have a rent controlled apartment is to already be living in one for many years. If you are single and have always lived with your mother or parents who were the original renters in a rent controlled apartment then you can stay until you die if you get married then the apartment dies with you and your wife will have to leave.
There are still a few rent stabilized apartments left but they are fast disappearing as many apartment buildings have been converted to co-ops where the apartment dweller buys shares in the co-op and technically owns the apartment and can sell it if he/she desire to move.
There is a thing known as Section 8 housing where if your income is low then you can be accepted into the Section 8 program and be given a voucher to give to a landlord. The voucher says that the Government will pay a portion of your rent and you will pay 30 percent of the rent based on your income. If your income goes to high then you will not be eligible any longer on that program and then you will have to pay the full rent. Usually these Section 8 apartments are generally in areas that are not "too safe".
The following link will explain to you in great detail the History and current status of "Rent Controlled Apartments in New York City
Here is the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_contro鈥?/a>
Also if you read through the information in the above link you will find out about the history and rules of Rent Stabilization also.
I hope that this information and the corresponding website link will help you in finding out what you want to know.|||Rent *control* is only available in NYC if your family has inhabited the same apartment since 1971, so if you have to ask, that's not you.
What you may be looking for is rent stabilization, a system that allows rent to increase only a specified percentage each year. It's restricted to certain buildings, and you're not eligible if your household income exceeds $175,000 per year.
Look on Craigslist for rent stabilized apartments; you'll find tons of listings. But bear in mind that rent stabilization provides a disincentive for the landlord to maintain a building, AND an incentive to get you out (as replacing a tenant is an opportunity to raise rent under the stabilization program). These days there are many apartments shown through a broker but without a broker fee, so after you settle on a neighborhood of interest you may be able to locate a brokerage office that has some rent-stabilized listings and enlist their help finding a workable apartment.
Rating-wise, both make the top of the charts, yet some people will say "not to take your foodie friends from Europe" to a top NYC restaurant because they will scoff at what it is "lacking." Is this true? Or is this just a case of personal bias? How might you compare the experience at, say, Pierre Gagnaire or Mugaritz vs Per Se or Jean Georges or Daniel?|||The atmosphere is completely different in NYC than in Europe. I mean I doubt they would say anything, but they might think it.|||it's all about your POV so many ppl walk in with their opinions already made. I have dined at great restaurants in Europe only in Spain. I LOVE Spanish food.

I would like to get an industrial sewing machine. My home machine cannot take the workload anymore. I'm looking for places in NYC that I can actually go to and get a demonstration on the machines.
Any links would be appreciated. Thanks!|||Well it depends on what type of work you are wanting to do. My dad and his dad have been in the industrial sewing machine business all their life...and I'm in it as well. I'm actually in the manufacturing side now as a mechanic, but my dad still travels and sales. Penn Sew should be pretty close and they are very experienced with industrial sewing. I know most of the big name dealers and them and there maaayyy be a Pfaff/Pegasus office close up there.

I'm looking for one Platt H. Skinner who died in 1866 at 44 and may have been in NYC from 1847-1855.|||Try researching it on there website or contact some experts. There would be a local or international history expert on this matter.|||There is very little in the way of information on this man. After months of researching, I've come up with so many conflicting sources and so much conflicting evidence that it is nearly impossible to discern the truth. Still, much of it is interesting. Trust me, I'm about as much of an expert as any Report Abuse

I have heard its quite a heavy amount and what is their method of generation? Third rail traction needs a lot of substations so what's the average distance between two in NYC subway? Around a mile apart?|||"Today, the NYC Subway is the city鈥檚 largest user of electricity. AC operates signals, station and tunnel lighting, ventilation and miscellaneous line equipment, while DC operates trains and such auxiliary equipment as water pumps and emergency lighting. The system鈥檚 215 electric substations receive high- and low-voltage power from the New York Power Authority, at voltages as high as 27kV AC, prior to transforming it for use within the system. The subway's third rail requires 625 volts DC for operating the trains. Power is distributed throughout the system via 2,500 miles of cable, which passes beneath 7,651 manholes located throughout the city. The power required to operate the subway system during peak hours is about 500 MW. And at 1.8 billion kilowatt hours, the subway鈥檚 annual power consumption equals that of the city of Buffalo, New York."
"Longest between-station stretch: 3.5 miles on the A train between Howard Beach/JFK Airport and Broad Channel stations (Queens). "|||the subway uses in one year about the same as the city of Buffalo. It's currently drawn from the municipal power grid. mile is way too litle in some cases, it depends on the density of the lines in the area.

I have already applied to malls and brand name stores.

I go to a private high school in NYC and am interested in a museum internship for my senior year, but many museums only offer these programs to public school students. Why is this, and what museums don't have this policy?|||There are over 1 million public school students in NYC. /Private schools have many fewer students. People perceive the public schools as failing and therefore take efforts to improve them in various ways.|||My guess is that the internships get federal or state money for accepting those interns, and federal or state money funds the public schools, not private.

I have to add, though, that all he did was place several tiny bags of mouse bait (DeCon?) at strategic places around the house...I could have done the same thing for alot less, but it did take care of the mouse problem. You might want to try treating the problem yourself, just make sure you put the baits in locations that your parrots can no way get to them if you ever turn them loose in your apt.

If these options are too expensive, the only alternative is to board the dog while you're gone or have someone stay at your house to take care of him. And, the cost of boarding the dog every day is probably more than the daily cost of renting a car.
I currently live in Texas and will graduate in May from Texas A&M with a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology (like Electrical Engineering but more application oriented rather than theory). My wife and I would like to move to NYC. I'm starting to look for a job. What is the best way to find and get an electrical engineering job? Interviewing would be a different process without face to face communication. I'd be looking at $50K-$70K starting salary.|||I would recommend doing some research online to find some companies in NYC. Try looking at their online websites to see if they have anything on Careers or a place to send resumes.
You can also just visit job search websites, but you may also want to try a program that I use. It is called the JobFinder and you can see more here - http://www.motiont.com (just click on the JobFinder). It searches hundreds of job sites at once so you don't have to. Just plug in a few engineering phrases in with a NYC zip code and see what you get.
i am trying to surprise my boyfriend with a horse carriage ride, i live nyc.. i know they do these around central park. I can not seem to get in contact with any one with the numbers on the website. please help!!!!!!. Our annivesary is on the 23 of december and would like to reserve well in advance.|||You dont reserve a horse carriage ride...Just go to 59th street and CPW you pick which one you want...they are on a first come first serve basis....Enjoy they are romantic but the ride goes fast!!!|||that's right! I have never ever heard of reserving a carriage is possible. But yes there will be plenty there... it usually costs $50 a ride.It will be very romantic. Maybe you scape for a few minutes and ask one of the carriage to wait for you and your boyfriend at your hotel or somewhere, but it will definitely cost you.
Have fun!|||YOU DONT NEED TO RESERVE THEM!!!! go to 59th and CPW and they will be there if uyr going at night i suggeest you take a blanket|||There are always carriages available there and depending on the route the costs vary. You can always get there early and get one of the drivers to meet you with flowers or something but the rides are not that long so there will aways be another carriage coming 'round the bend. They have blankets to keep you warm but not the cleanest thing in history.
Have Fun!

Honolulu is so much closer, yet flights are cheaper from NYC to Tokyo. Does this have to do with the size of the Honolulu airport? It seems kind of weird to me.|||I'm sure it has a lot to do with supply and demand.
NYC has 3 large airports and plenty of flights, mostly American tourists, and business travelers.
HNL is a small airport, and it's a HUGE vacation destination for Japanese people (it's dirt cheap to them). The cheap seats sell out FAST.|||Actually, when I searched on Expedia, the cheapest flights were about the same price, around $1100-1200, from both departure points.|||More likely depending on the airline your looking at it probably has to do with how well they fill the seats for those flights.
See if you can fly an airline the caters to people flying to Honolulu.|||Hi
Because air travel taxes you would get a cheaper flight,Because the airport is a more international the taxes are less but because the airport Honolulu in less noticed and smaller the government will charge you more to go with them.
Hope this helps

If the chances are low, what are the chances for any tropical storm to hit nyc this year?|||For Fay, the chances are very unlikely. It's definitely hitting South Florida. If it does it would already weaken because it'd be over land already and we'd only get a little wind and very heavy rain. The chances for any hurricane hitting NYC this year are very likely. We're predicted to get hit by a major hurricane (Category 3 or more) every 70 years and 2008 marks the 70th anniversary of the Great New England Hurricane of 1938 which was our last major hurricane. Right now, there's a tropical wave near Cape Verde that might develop next week and that's where most of our hurricanes come from. We usually get hurricanes in August and September so now is a good time to prepare.|||Is this question retarded or is it just me? Report Abuse
|||the chances of it hitting you guys in NYC is very low, but you should still keep wacth on it. you might want to keep an eye on that wave too! so for all those people in florida, its not going to be to bad, i've stayed home in two category 4 hurricanes that directly hit the atlantic coast, so i am staying home and enjoying my day off of tuesday and Wednesday for school, if it dose not go into alabama! so florida people, the news is not updated as much as torpical storm fay websites! hope i helped! |||Not going to happen, the storm will die down into just a regular rain storm if it does make it there. It's hitting us in South Florida.
The worst thing about this storm is that NO ONE is taking it seriously not even the weather forecasters. If this was 3 years ago, everyone would be in panic mode and getting prepared.
I predict it's going to stall just as it passes Cuba and will gather momentum by the Keys and then it'll set off as a Category 1 and build up crossing Florida from Naples and coming up to Daytona with Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties getting the worst of the winds..
Just my thoughts. Now go buy some water and canned food people!!!|||I can only answer your first question... however I'm hoping you have the answer by now. It is definitely not going to be heading towards New York! Right now the forecast is straight towards florida, with a possibility to stay out in the gulf, hitting other states.
|||It's not very likely. It's hitting down here in South Florida. By the time it reaches NYC it will either be a regular rain storm or will be gone completely. Land tears it down. Water builds it up.

Please don't quote department of labor and statistics. I don't think $30k (and that's a higher-end) a year will cut it in NYC, am I wrong?
And thank you in advance for your responses.|||Maybe $8 an hour.
30k in NYC isn't possible unless you have 4 roomates in a 1 bedroom apartment. Rent in Manhattan for a small studio apartment is usually no less than $1600 a month and you couldn't afford that on $30k a year. You would have to live in NJ or outer borroughs and commute 1 hours everyday to/from work.
Living meagarily, you'd need:
$1600 rent
$300 utilities
$100 phone/internet
$50 transit (public only, no taxis)
$200 food (no eating out)
$50 entertainment
$70 necessities
+ Misc. expenses

Once in Trenton, transfer to NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor Line, which will take you from the Trenton to Penn Station in NYC.

I am shopping for a diamond engagement ring and I was wondering if you know any stores in NYC' s Diamond District. I did my homework with the Four C's and set up a budget and have an idea what she would like so I just need a reputable place to buy the ring.
Thanks!|||NYC's Diamond District gets a bad rap because a while back few greedy companies showed up on TV trying to cheat shoppers.
I personally know few people who has been working on this street for over twenty years. These are the honest people who have to fight with this bad rap because few bad apples tried to make fast money.
What I suggest is, if you already done your homework and you know exactly what you want, by getting a diamond with a certificate from a reputable gemological institute then all you have to do is shop and compare the diamond prices and then decide on a ring. You can get an easy idea on the diamond market and prices by shopping few online stores then when you walk in to a store you know what to expect and you can easily negotiate at these stores because of the sheer competition they face on the street. Just make sure to compare apples to apples ( which will be easy with an official diamond certificate).
In terms of actual stores, I can recommend a store where my best friend purchased his wife's ring with a GIA certified diamond set in a Verragio mounting at Shenoa Diamond at 1 West 47th Street. You can't miss it, it's the largest individual store on 47th Street. They were very nice to him there and they gave a fair price.

I first visited NYC at 13 on a trip from my home in the UK, and since then I've been dying to get back there. Now I'm finally earning my own wageand I'm thinking of both a little escapism from troubles at home and fulfilling a 6 year long urge to revisit. So my first of many questions that are probably to come would be how much money (in any form - cash/travellers cheque) would cover me for a fortnight in the city? Ideally I'd like to stay on Manhattan for familiarity but I think its going to be a little difficult on budget so if location is something to factor in could anyone give me a basic range of both? Cheers guys!|||OK -
I'm going to make an assumption that you have saved up some money, and that you live in a middle class lifestyle. But I'll also assume that you're going to travel alone, and do not want to stay in a hostel....
First, let's assume that you find a bargain room on Manhattan Island. The cheapest I've heard of acceptable places to stay costing is $200/night. (And I'd expect to spend more in the central tourist districts.)
Second, I'll spend a little more money on food than Rachel Ray does, and assume you'll spend around $50/day there.
Third, tourist attractions in NYC add up to a lot of money. But it makes more sense to visit the neighborhoods (such as Greenwich Village, Chinatown, and even Brooklyn Heights) on some days, walking around and exploring. So I'll budget another $40/day there.
Fourth, I'll budget $10/day for mass transit. (You'll want to look up the price of MTA's weekly passes - that will save you some serious money, and make things more convenient for you.)
So far, I believe that we've budgeted $300/day - $4,200 for two weeks. That number can go up quite a bit if you buy a lot of expensive Tchotchkes (a New York word that few spell right, but almost everyone knows). You'll also note that I have not included any money for "Broadway" shows, or concerts - New York prices for theater and musical perfoemances are some of the highest in the world, and London (from what I've been told) in this area may be a bargain in compatison.
There are some very good ways to cut my cost figures and make NYC an affordable trip. First, find someone to share the lodging with. That'll cut your major cost in half. Next, do not eat in the touristy areas of town. Instead, go into an ethnic neighborhood - Flushing has a large Asian community, and you can eat well for a small amount of money. If you want Italian food, stay away from Manhattan's "Little Italy" and go up to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. But ask around for ideas - most New Yorkers have good ideas of where to eat cheap and well.... (Be careful of people who equate quantity of food with the quality of food.)
If you can find a way to stay in a good hotel in the outer boroughs near a subway station, you might be able to save some big money. But, being a New Yorker, I'd be very leery of telling someone coming to New York on their first time as an adult, to stay in the outer boroughs before exploring them on a first visit.... The quality varies too much to take a chance. (Read all the reviews you can from the major sites - and try to avoid places with an AAA rating of less than 2 diamonds.)
Good Luck!!!!|||For a 2 week visit, a hotel stay would be pricey.
I'd recommend checking out Craigslist for a temporary sublet.
http://newyork.craigslist.org/sub/|||Hi I would recommend that take a combination of Travelers cheques (go to the travelers express shop and you can now get it in a Debit/Cash card form)/UK Debit/Cash Card & about $100 cash (since you will need some spare cash when you first arrive in the USA)..
Two weeks depending if you are doing shopping i would say 500 pounds (spending money) since the NYC is pretty cheap however I would recommend that you do your shopping in brocklyn its cheaper and more options.
Also book you accomodation from the uk it will work out better.
Oh Shopping wise go to a place called century 21!|||you can spend anywhere from $99 to thousands for a hotel room in NYC and the average price is around $450 --
So you are looking at at least $2300 or so for two weeks and then you are not eating too well and staying at a not so good hotel......
You don't need traveler's checks just use ATM's
There is the consolation that the pound is very strong against the dollar at the moment -- but New York IS NOT cheap if you want to take advantage of the great restaurants, musuems and entertainment --

If it is a position where he makes the commute and does the job without issue, then normally legally they cannot have that requirement.
However, there are certain positions where this is legal depending on the duties of the job, response times needed, territories, etc.|||You probably have to live someplace where you can respond within a certain amount of time. It's probably not that they can dictate where you live, but the demands of the job and responding to emergencies may limit you to the distance you can live away from the "office".|||If he's working for the city in a job that requires him to live in the five boroughs, then no, he can't live in NJ and keep the job.
Many cities and school districts have a residence requirement for their employees.
I am trying to find how much someone paid for a single family residence in NYC back in the 70's and I don't know exactly where to look. I check the property tax assessor website and could not find that information, is that information available?|||Some tax assessors have that information available and some do not. You can contact a realtor that has access to the MLS system, and there you can find any information for previous sales that were listed on MLS. Unfortunately if the home was sold by owner, it may be almost impossible to find the information. You could check the county property records and look for where deeds/titles were recorded. If a loan was taken out for the property then you would be able to find the note through property records searches. It may take a trip to the courthouse though depending on where you live.

Will be visiting NYC in April. I was wondering what Broadway shows you might suggest we go to? Have seen Hairspray, 42nd Street, Lion King, Chicago a couple of more I can't remember.|||See a real show, not a Disneyesqe tourist trap.
Go to see The Farnsworth Invention.|||If your group does not include kids, then I highly recommend Young Frankenstein. Non-stop laughteer the entire show.|||Mamma Mia or Wicked all the way (but if u have kids go with the Lion King), Hairspray was AMAZING and so was Chicago (i would pay a million bucks to c it again!)|||Wicked is a great show, for both younger and older audiences.
In the Heights is great - it just moved to Broadway (from off-Broadway) and everyone loves it - I've seen it three times!
If you have kids - Mary Poppins and Little Mermaid might be good.
* Spring Awakening - the original cast is gone, but it is still very good
* A Chorus Line is really good
* Avenue Q is super funny, but really geared towards adults,
* Legally Blonde - better than you think it will be
* Spam-a-lot - super funny and great music
For plays - August Osage County is AMAZING!! The best play on Broadway (or off) right now.|||I am going to NYC again in 3 weeks and I was looking at plays too. I have decided against Legally Blonde after seeing the MTV version they taped live from Broadway. I couldn't keep watching it. I thought it was horrible. I had also thought Xanadu might be good, but after seeing a portion of it on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade - it was just awful - that made my decision (plus the reviews I've read since weren't favorable either).|||I recommend Avenue Q, also Jersey Boys & Spamalot, also not sure if its still playing, but The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
hi,
off to nyc on tuesday and just wondered if the midseason sales have started or if anyone knows when they start?

This is a very broad question and I would appreciate it if anyone can help me.
I'm currently unemployed and I decided to get a list of the companies that vacant some of the well-known NYC buildings, such as the Citigroup building, GE building, and MetLife building to name a few. I been on google and tried to find an answer but I'm getting nothing. Is there a way I can obtain information, like a directoy of the different companies located in these buildings, through a website?
Thanks. I want to use this information to check out the company's history and current career opportunities. I majored in business if that will help.|||Get a Haines directory, usually they have them at the public library.

We might be moving for my work to NYC. We are looking for a safe place, larger rooms and parking. So far we are seriously considering Bayonne, Secaucus, Hoboken and Jersey City.|||Well, the area along Route 4 on the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge is much nicer than the areas you mention, towns like Fort Lee, Englewood, Teaneck, River Edge, Paramus, etc., and it's an easy commute from there into New York City, too, so check it out at the link, below.
Good luck!... :-D|||Forget about Hoboken and Jersey City for parking. If you have kids look in Bergen Cty , the towns with public schools that I like are Tenafly, Ft Lee, Englewood Cliffs (elementary school only). (not Englewood) Leonia, Ridgefield, Bogota, Teaneck. Commute by bus from these towns is around 30 mins to an hour , unless the traffic is bad. If you don't need a school system I would look at Weehawken, North Bergen, Union city, try to get an apt that includes parking.
Good Luck|||Secaucus--easy to catch a bus into the city and it still has it own neighborhood feel.
I'm helping my son look for a room or roommate in NYC while he does an internship in the Bronx this summer. I've seen many advertisements for rooms, but, need to know which neighborhood will be safest for him. A neighborhood outside of the Bronx with an easy commute to work will also work for him.|||The Bronx, although having a bad reputation, can be seedy depending on where you are. I have lived in Riverdale and I'm pretty sure that is one of the nicest, although more expensive, neighborhoods in the Bronx. It is in the north western most part of the Bronx, so commuting might be a little problematic. Marble Hill, although sometimes considered Manhattan, is another neighborhood that is nice and good location wise. If the Bronx isn't cutting it, Washington Heights, upper UPPER Manhattan, is a neighborhood that is close to the Bronx, up and coming, and still cheap.|||New York is one of the safest cities in the country, it's THE safest big city. Unless he's a complete dunce (I'm assuming he's not) then you really don't have anything to worry about, and neither does he.|||Riverdale is the best area of the Bronx. Here is a link to a website for hostels.
http://www.hostelworld.com/index.php?aff鈥?/a>|||The upper part of the Bronx is the safest. Riverdale (though boring as hell) Co-Op city isn't too bad. I live near the Gunhill section. A lot of Caribbean people live over here and it's very residential. It's so quiet over here compared to the rest of the Bronx. (Unless you like Reggae in the summer) Pelham Parkway is a nice area. The commute is okay but the further up you go the longer (and more difficult) it is to travel.
Opening up a new real estate company what do you recommend I do to find qualified people in nyc to work for my agency ?
are there headhunters for this type of thing?|||If you have to ask this question I'd think twice about going into business for yourself.|||Head hunters generally work on a more generic title. For instance: Sales... and real estate sales is a biggie in many sales peoples back ground. Are you new to NYC? Work your contacts, if you have none, open your date book and start building a network.
Unfortunatly, there is always the ugly way to do this type of thing... manufacture your identity, visit other agencies and mine the gold out of those offices.
By asking the question, I can't imagine that you have much experience with this and therefore hope you have deep pockets to cover the oops! and yikes! that are inevitable while you are in this learning curve. For your sake, I hope it's a steep and fast one and that you are a fast learner.

Okay first of all me and my fianc茅 will be making 200,000 a year, give or take a little. We hears that to find out your budget a month for an apartment, you just divide your salary by 40. What kind of apartment can we get in Manhattan with 5,000 a month? Also what is a good borough to buy a house in with that amount? Also, how is the need for pharmacists in NYC?|||Can't buy (unless you have downpayment saved or wanna live in the ghetto) but can rent very well. I recommend Manhattan.|||With the budget of $200,000 i'm not sure you could buy a house in any of the boroughs. I mean, you could buy a tiny 2 bed room in need of a lot of renovation in a dodgy neighbour hood I suppose, but any decent home in a safe neighbour hood is gonna cost you 400K at least. As for what kind of apt $5000 will get you in manhattan, I'll assume mid town, you could get a really decent 1 bed room in a clean building with doorman and other basic amenities etc for sure.
I have a trip planned we are going to be in NYC for 4 full days and one of those days is pretty booked up already. Will the remaining days give us enough time? On day we have a play to attend at 8:00 but we could be tourists before that. What do you think?|||3 days is more than enough

Hi Folks,
I plan on moving to NYC in May with my partner. We would like to rent a 2-bed room place in Manhattan (below 34th St). Besides the obvious expenses, such as brokers' fee, deposit, monthly rent and electricity/gas, what are the other expenses we need to be aware of, so we can budget wisely? Thank you.|||If you can afford a 2 bedroom as a newcomer to this city and living in Manhattan I don't think you'll have to worry about budgeting--you must be doing fine.
In all seriousness though, there really isn't anything that you would have to specifically budget for here that you wouldn't have to in any other city.
Good luck and welcome.|||Food costs more. Drinks cost more. Movies cost more. Restaurants cost more. Etc.|||Taxes are wack.|||I don't know if you are just referring to moving expenses or daily living expenses but here are other items to consider overall:
-metrocard for the subway and buses
-extra money for those times you don't want to take public transportation and you opt for a taxi (which is getting very expensive)
-food budget (more if you eat out)
have fun..NYC is a great place|||Cable
Phone Line or Cell Phone (depends on preference)
Internet (if applicable)
Commuting|||Laundry, whether you spend your time in the laundromat or use a drop off place. Groceries cost more in the city and supermarkets have a smaller selection of products,( most aisles are only wide enough for one shopping cart) Prices at fast food places are a bit higher than out of town.
Good Luck|||Well, if you plan to have a car in NYC, parking only costs about $450.00 & up per month, Plus outrageous gasoline prices (there are very few gas stations in NYC) and car insurance is rediculous. Honestly most NY'ers don't have cars .....
This will be our first family trip to NYC. We want to do tourist stuff like tour buses, statue of liberty, time square etc. Really don't want to pay a lot for lodging but do not want to stay in a roach motel either (lol)! People say to stay in New Jersey. Not sure where or what's best. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions!|||It depends what you mean by "inexpensive". For example, in Staten Island, there are some nice hotels that are an hour from Manhattan and cost around $115 per night. There is a Holiday Inn and a couple of other hotels there.
There is also a hotel called "La Quinta Inn" in Gowanus, Brooklyn that is closer to Manhattan, but the area isn't as nice as other areas (I don't know what the hotel itself is like)
New Jersey isn't bad either, but again, it all depends on what you determine to be "inexpensive".
I hope this information was very helpful.|||I'd recommend staying in Queens. It's as close as 15-20 minutes by subway and is still part of NYC. If you find something cheap in Manhattan it will almost certainly be less than desirable or riddled with bedbugs. You truly get what you pay for, so be careful.

I want to take my mom to NYC and see all the major tourist sites (Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, etc.) What do you think would be a good ballpark amount of money to aim for in terms of saving for this?

This project regards constructing a map of NYC that has certain buildings locations and labels the cross streets as well, other buildings can be in the picture just the particular ones have to be in focus.|||Interactive map would mean to me that you are going to use region mapping in HTML. I use CuteMap to layout these things.
Having other buildings blurred means to me that you have to select areas in a photo editing program and use the blur effect, then change to another area and blur that. An alternative that might be less work would be to make a copy of the photo, blur the whole copy, and then select and move either the crisp buildings (move to blurred whole) or the blurred (move to crisp streets and buildings.) How tedious this is will partly depend on whether you can accept blurred streets so you can blur several blocks of buildings or must blur each block and building separately.
Once I'm out of college I want to know if I can possibly get an internship with one of the magazines that are in NYC? Mainly I want to find out HOW i can get a job there, do I have to fill out an application? Just walk in there and ask "I'm a photographer can I have a job?" or do I need to go online?
Mainly I just want INFO!|||You need to do several things at once.
- Market your portfolio: You don't know who is connect to who. If you do good work and let the world know what you want it make sit all the easier to connect the dots. Contact a photographer at ELLE and ask them to review your stuff first.
- Aggressively build a network: Connect to alumni in industry, have coffee chats and visit them for office visits, ask what you should be doing to get a job. This will tell you what you need to work on and already have people who can recommend you once you're ready to pursue an opportunity.
- Have specific goals and value proposition: The people who stand out can very clearly state what they offer and what they want to get out of a job. For example: is working at the magazine a stepping stone to somewhere else?
- Know the competition: What are the other photographers in the industry doing? Are they on certain sites, do they all hang out in the same social scenes. The industry is very incestuous in that regard.
Hope this helps and Good luck!
So my friend and I want to go to NYC for the day, we are 18 and 19. We want to go to Times square area. My parents are freaking out and dont want me to go. So is it relatively safe if we are smart about our day trip?|||its okay in the centre of tourist.|||I guarantee that you will be safe in that part of the city at that time of day unless you do something incredibly stupid. Put your mother at ease, the streets are crowded with a mix of tourists and busines people. For example, within a block of Times Square are office buildings that house the New York Times (Hence the name), Ernst and Young, Conde Nast magazines and the biggest law firm in NYC. That doesn't sound too sketchy, does it?
Plus there is a strong police presence everywhere.
Enjoy the trip.
One piece of advice..I think that taking the bus into town is probably the least desirable way, but it is still safe at that time of day.|||I've been wandering around Manhattan since I was 12! There's no reason for your parents to worry, especially if you aren't prone to doing anything stupid like getting in vans with strange men or wandering down dark alleys. The city is perfectly safe, especially in midtown. The biggest risk you run is getting taken in by pointless tourist traps. All through high school I went to concerts and wouldn't even get back on the train home until 2:30 AM.|||Of course it is.

I'm going to Carnegie Hall tonight for a concert. It's supposed to rain today in NYC, and there's snow everywhere.
I'm a woman, and my first idea for an outfit was a dress and heels, but something tells me I'll slip and fall the moment I set foot inside the city.
Any suggestions?|||Wear something that is nice,but comfortable. I would forgo the heels and in their place wear some nice snow boots.|||I would suggest a dress and heels. But since you're afraid of falling, maybe you should wear a pair of flats until you get to the concert.
I have a 9 hour layover at the airport in newark, new jersey on a Sunday. Is going to NYC for a quick tour of the big apple be a good thing to kill time? I have never been to NYC, any suggestions? What's the cheapest way to get there from the airport? Thanks for your help!|||Take the AirTrain to the NJ Transit Newark Liberty International Airport station.
Take any NY Penn station bound train (there are 3 - 4 trains every hour on Sunday depending on the time of day) to NY Penn station. The fare is $15.00 one way. This includes the AirTrain fare of $5.50. Trip from the RR station takes about 30 minutes. There are timetables posted in the station.
It is hard to give advise on what to see in the limited time you will be in Manhattan because there is some much to see but
once you get to NY Penn station (34th St) you can go to Times Square either by walking to 42nd St or by taking the subway (1, 2, or 3 line [numbers in red circles) UPTOWN for one stop. In Times Square there is Madame Taussaud's Wax Museum or Ripley's Believe it or not Odditorium.
OR
Go to the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan. Take a DOWNTOWN E train (letter in blue circle) to the last stop (World Trade Center). Exit at the front of the station and use the staircase on the left. You can walk to Battery Park from there and see the Statue of Liberty (from the park). Taking the ferry to the statue might put a drain on what is left of your layover time.
The fare is the subway is $2.00 one-way ($2.25 as of June 28). Purchase a $4.00 MetroCard (selecting :"Other amounts" from the on screen menu) from any vending machine near the turnstiles in the subway station. The machines accept cash (maximum change is $6.00) or credit/debit cards. Also if the entrance has a blue booth (not maroon) you can purchase a $4.00 card there (cash only).
If you decide to go to the WTC site, you might want to take a walk into the Century 21 department store which is right across the street. It is a very popular store. They discount 1st quality name brand items (clothing, small appliances, luggage, watches, gifts anywhere from about 25% to 45% (depending on the item).|||Simple. Here's how to get from Newark Airport to New York City.
Step 1: take the Airtrain from the terminal to the Newark-Liberty International Airport train station.
Step 2: at the Newark-Liberty International Airport train station, purchase a one way NJ Transit ticket from EWR to Penn Station New York and take any New York City-bound (eastbound) train to Penn Station New York. A one way ticket on NJ Transit from EWR to New York Penn Station will cost you $15.
Since you only have a 9 hour layover, it best to budget your time accordingly, that way you will get to the airport before you flight departs.

Good luck and enjoy your trip.|||you could take the airtrain etc etc - i'd count (to be safe, get lost etc) about 2 hours each way - so that leaves you 5 hours in NYC/ plan your trip and you'll be able to see some stuff, avoid the things that require a line (like empire state building etc whatever) / yeah in 5 hours you can see quite a bit.|||Easiest way would simply get on the NJ Transit train at the airport and take into Penn Station in New York. It's about $15 each way.
You can take a series of buses. But with your short time it wouldn't be worth the hassle and possibly getting stuck in traffic.|||Mapquest it and check
The reason I am asking is because I am doing some minor household renovations to a newly purchase home and I was putting all the debris in heavy duty garbage bags until I rented a dumpster. Today I got a letter in the mail from The NYC Dept of Health telling to remove all the debris from my garage or they would do it for me and charge me $1,000 a day for the labor. Is this legal that they looked in my garage and sent out a violation based only on seeing garbage bags inside.|||One of your dirtbag neighbors turned you in to the sanitation. Nice block.

I would like to know how to get a license to run a printing business in my home?
Where can I rent/buy a printer? I live in NYC. I really prefer to buy a new one.
Previously I use to run a printing business making invitations, Church Programs for order of services, Banners, Stickers, Business Cards, Resumes, Funeral Programs, Resturant Brochures, and etc from scratch using Create-A-Card and Print Master.
Now the problem that I'm having is that the printers I use to own couldn't perfrom everything I needed it to.
Now I currently own a Lexmark Printer and one Dell 962 printer. And they still can't perform the tasks I need it to do. It takes forever to print.
Now I want to upgrade to a BIG Printer that can handle all of these tasks at a snap of a finger.

I want to work as an Audio Engineer. Not sure specifics, but the I.A.R school in NYC looks like its a good choice. It gives hands-on training and some of the courses cover working in a live studio so you get first hand experience. Money is tough right now, so is it worth the time and money, or should I go to college. I live in New York if that matters.|||IAR is actually a great school. The program teaches you all the aspects of being a producer/engineer in 9 months to 1 year depending if you are full or part-time. The career services department helps everyone get placed at jobs or internships once they complete the program, so you start working right away. Also, one of the major benefits of the school is that graduates can come back any time and sit in on classes for free.
I know that they offer financial aid and scholarships, so it can definitely be affordable. All the teachers there are real professionals who are the best in the business. You can see all of their gold and platinum records lining the walls of the school, so you know you're learning from the best. And the facility is great too. They have all the state-of-the-art computers and software, as well as the vintage analog stuff too. There's also a full recording studio complex, computer labs, post-production suites, etc, etc. Check out their website - www.audioschool.com - for more info

Now with bridge tolls getting as high as $13 per car, I'd like to know what the annual toll revenue is from all the main bridges and tunnels in NYC, all the while the city says its broke.|||NYC itself doesn't operate the toll bridges and tunnels. The MTA, which also runs the buses, subways, Metro North, and LIRR, is a state agency, not a city one, and they operate all of the toll bridges within the 5 boroughs. The MTA does also say they're broke but I really don't see how.

I currently live in NJ and the company that I work for is headquartered in NJ, but I am thinking of transferring to the NYC office because of a better commute.

I know that if I pay NY state taxes, I will get a credit on my NJ tax return but I would like to know if the fact that my company is headquartered in NJ makes any difference tax wise. Any advice will be helpful.|||You pay tax to the state where you work and to the state where you live. It does not matter where the company is headquartered. The credit on your NJ return is only for the tax you paid to NJ on the income also taxed by NY or the tax you paid to NY on income also taxed by NJ, whichever is less.

I am planning to take my wife to NYC for her birthday for the typical dinner and a show. However I thought it would be fun to surprise her with a visit to a male strip club. She's talked about going for years but has never had the opportunity (her girlfriends are pretty conservative). I think I'm mature enough to handle it (let her have a good time, not get jealous, not get uncomfortable) but am not sure there is a place that would cater to this. Any suggestions?|||Well, I don't know the answer to your Q but here's my suggestions. Women don't usually go to these kinds of places on their own like a man would. It's much more fun for us when we're w our friends. I've never seen a husband/boyfriend with any lady at these places. You might do better getting into a gay strip joint---the establishment would be more likely to allow men & women in together. I'd certainly check first, tho. Try looking up the Chippendale Dancers and see if they are performing anyplace in NYC. Or look for one of those shows w female impersonators who do famous lady singers/actresses, they're co-ed.|||I'm a 27 yr old married female and I sure as hell wouldnt want my husband to be there if I went to male strip club.

Just tell them you have cats and don't say how much they weigh.|||Cats are generally not a problem for apartment dwellers in New York City at all, because, since you don't have to walk them, if you don't tell anybody you have them, nobody will even know they're there, really.
So, while you might want to tell the owners that you do have A cat, don't tell them you have two, and only volunteer the weight if specifically asked for it.
Then just move in, and bring in both cats in one carrier, if possible, or, if they're in two carriers, make two totally separate trips, well apart, so that you can say, "Oh, no, you must be mistaken, this is the only cat I have!" if asked about it.
Then, once you're in, that's it, forget about it, and live happily ever after with your fat cats.

I think it's on the 48th floor and dress ranges from hotel guest casual to evening wear. The best part of all -- the dining room is circular and revolves so you get a view of the skyline.

Even if you don't like sushi, they have excellent Japanese food. It is hip. The service is excellent and you may even see a movie-star. I went to the one in the theater district, but I know they have a least one location in the Village|||You can go to Mr. Chow's---gourmet Chinese food. Absolutely wonderful!!! I do believe it is a 5 star restaurant.|||I checked in on www.opentable.com to see which NYC restos had availability on 12/24 during dinnertime for a two-top. Unfortunately, all my fancy picks were all booked (Aureole, Chanterelle, Bouley, BLT Prime, Craft, Daniel, Jean Georges, Le Cirque, Per Se, Rainbow Room, etc.)
But here are some other options that I think are worth of dressing up for:
For awesome seafood, try BLT Fish - 8:15pm - http://www.bltrestaurants.com
Cru for elegant European cuisine. If you're especially into wine, you should dine here - 8:45pm - ttp://www.cru-nyc.com
For some very well regarded Italian, try Fiamma. They are doing a prix-fix xmas dinner (as I suspect a few other restaurants will do as well) - 6:45 or 9pm - http://www.fiammarestaurant.com
Yikes, Nougatine at Jean Georges only has a 9:45pm reservation open....but that would have been nice as well.

Hello - I'll be visiting NYC this weekend and am working on my itinerary. How much time should I allow for my Statue of Liberty visit, including ferry time? We're not HUGE historians, so probably won't spend an enormous time looking at historical displays/museum. Thanks!|||The ferry to the Statue of Liberty also stops at Ellis Island. I would allow anywhere from 2-3 hours total to stop at both places if you're not huge history buffs.
If you don't feel the need to spend money taking the ferry out to Liberty Island, you can take the FREE Staten Island ferry past the island. It gives you a great view of the Statue, but it won't actually stop at Liberty Island. It will take an hour roundtrip and is FREE!
I think the trip to Liberty Island is around $10-15 to actually stop at the island. There is nothing of interest on the actual island, unless you want to see the statue from up close.|||I was just in New York and visited Ellis Island on a Friday. The wait to board the ferry took about an hour and a half (in the pouring rain, no less). The ferry took about 10 minutes to get to Liberty Island, then an additional 5 for Ellis Island. I'm not sure what they have to offer at the Statue of Liberty, but I spent about an hour and a half wandering around Ellis Island. Getting off the island was much quicker, I waited about 15 minutes.|||All day. cause the lines to get to the ferry will be long, and you'll want to take your time seeing things cause it is worth it... then in the evening as you return to manhattan, stop by and have dinner in little italy, you will never eat better food this side of the atlantic|||Have they opened up the Statue of Liberty for tours yet? I thought it was still closed...maybe not; I'm pretty sure they closed the statue itself and only allow people to wander around the outside...personally, I'd go to "The Top of the Rock" or the Empire State building and just zoom in on it with one of the high powered cameras they have available; but if you insist on going, I'd plan for at least 3 hours total time....much more interesting things to do then that especially if you're on a limited schedule. Have fun in either case!|||Would suggest doing this early in the morning. You can book online and also get FREE national Park ranger led tours as part of your visit. The earlier you go the better as the lines will get longer during the day. Tickets are now for a 'window' of time - for instance 8:45am-10:45am and anyone holding the ticket can get in the line.
It's worth the visit!|||The boat trip there takes about 10 - 15 minutes, but you have to wait for the boat if you don't know what times they go!
The boats can wait for about 10 - 15 minutes also.
When you get there leave yourself about 30 - 45 mins to have a look around the actual statue (it is absolutely amazing so take a good look - even if your not a huge historian!) and maybe another 15 - 30 mins to look around the gift shop if you are interested.
Then you need to get the boat back, you could be waiting for a while, maybe even up to 20 - 30 minutes.. but then again you could walk straight on, so just make sure you leave enough time.
The boat journey back is the same as arriving, so about 10 - 15 mins.
To be very safe, I'd say leave about 2 hours, just so your not hurried! You want to enjoy the experience!
However if you want to visit Ellis Island also I'd leave another hour. I did'nt visit there when I went but I have heard it is very nice! They have boats going there too.
I hope you enjoy your trip to New York City! It is a truly amazing place!
Hope I've been helpful! x

If your main concern is comfort, ALWAYS take the train.
*Personally, I'm cheap and usually prefer the bus, but the bus tends to get crowded and uncomfortable for someone who doesn't like close contact with strangers.
*However, on the same note, the train may offer more personal space, but it almost always runs late, and costs around 25% more.

I am interested in finding a reputable modeling agency in NYC for my two children. Sound easy, try again, NYC has more than its fair share of questionable businesses. If anyone knows the name and address of a specific agency either through direct contact or a friend, please feel free to name them.|||Wilhelmina Agency. VERY good agency. um they should have a web site. www.wilhelmina.com
Also The Abrahms Agency has a FANTASTIC childrens department. The agency is huge though and often focuses on acting.
Good Luck|||Ford models are tops and the best in the business
They represent top adult models as well as children|||I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.
It's always been my dream to live in NYC, and I often hear about people moving to the states from Canada... and they make it sound so easy. What are the ways in which one could move to the states as a Canadian? Thanks!|||If you qualify, you can move to the States on a T1 work visa.|||easy it aint. depends on what you are coming here to do. i say first get a job here so that you can actually afford whichever of the 5 boroughs you want to live. brooklyn, bronx, manhattan, queens, or staten island. manhattan being the most expensive (where i am lol, so i live all the way in upper inwood which is much cheaper and pretty than the rest of the city in my opinion)
My sister and I are visiting and staying with our great aunt and grandmother in NYC from July 16 - 20th. We are both 19 (20 in 2 weeks) and looking for some things to do while we are there.Anything from events, films to restaurants.
I've looked at some articles but, they are dated so I wanted to know what is going on this week.
We are both kind of shy and not real party people.
Thanks !|||Check out dailycandy.com. The weekend edition usually has fun stuff to do.|||Go to a concert! or find something you both like to do.
C'MON IT'S NYC!|||I would check out the various museums that New York has to offer. There are a bunch of them. Maybe a visit to Ellis Island would be nice too. Times Square to check out all the tourists and maybe see the Titanic exhibit at 226 West 44th Street just off Times Square. Not all that expensive on any of these things|||Broadway shows are a must. Shopping around. Musueams like the Wax one are funn ... umm all i got.
I want to go to NYC because that is a good place for my major. However, I'm coming from VA and I was planning on staying in undergraduate housing. Are there any NYC schools that guarantee housing?
The cheaper, the better.|||Pace university
$11,000 for housing they have two campuses one in Westchester (it is in ny,but out the city area you can take a shuttle bus for like 45 mins and get to the city or you can just go to the one in the city your pick.
You should totally check out this website
http://youniversitytv.com/
it has videos about the campuses in each state
of universitys and colleges.
but you have to sign up for an account which will take a min.
it shows like campuses what majors how much should your SAT and school average you should have to get in and the tuition and ...etc
hopefully this helps let me know if it does :)|||Cheap? No
Guaranteed? Think: Wait list and lottery.
Most NY'ers commute from apartments or parents house.|||well I know the New School does for first year students
I don't care if they are dangerous, out of the way, filthy, whatever. I just want to know the Cheapest areas in NYC to find an apartment. Also, if you know the "average" rent in that area, that would be Great!|||depends on what is affordable to you.
I live in a tiny 1br in East Harlem (near 110th st stop on 6 line) and I pay $1300/mo. The area is pretty safe but having some street smarts is helpful. You might want to seriously consider New Jersey if that is too much, you can get places near the PATH in Jersey City for pretty cheap, and it's just a quick ride into lower Manhattan. Check out craigslist to get an idea of prices in different areas.
Personally, I wouldn't go much further into Harlem, maybe up to E116th b/c I'm a young single white girl. There are more and more yuppies moving in to my neighborhood as time goes by tho, so now is really the time to get in before the rents shoot up and it becomes Williamsburg II.
I am currently a student in a MSc of quantitative finance program. I will have 61/2 months experience as a rookie quant by the time I graduate. What will it take to land a good job as a trader or a broker or analyst at one of the better firms in NYC?|||You probably have to have come from a good school. You also need good comunication skills and you need to have insight, not just knowledge.
It is hard to get into trading. You probably do not want to start as a trading assistant (coffee getter). Your best chance is to work is a lesser bank (something like JPMorgan) as a quant and get the traders to like you. Then transfer over. Top places (like Goldman and Morgan Stanley) do not do that as much.|||MBA (Ivy League Exclusively)|||The big firms conduct on campus interviews at the big schools in the area. They also go to the big, top schools in other states, but, generally, not recruiting for NYC. The interview process is multi-level and very competitive. You need a 3.4 or better GPA for any of the top jobs.
My source? My son did it last year graduating from Fordham with a 3.67 and a job with JP Morgan. He had his offer in November of his senior year. Has made $87,500 his first year . . . of course, he works long hours and has a tiny apartment that rents for double the note on my 3,700 Sqft home on three acres.

I am going to purchase a phone soon however, I would like a phone that has some service in the underground subways in NYC. So, which provider and manufacturers would fit this description?|||Sorry, depends how deep stations in Underground, there are no receptions except for following area:
Hillside Av (F) Line from 179 St to Sutphin Blvd (since it's close to street level)
North end of Lex Av/59th St (4)(5) platform by stairs.
All elevated stations are receiption.|||None. You are underground so you will not get any cell phone service in the subway no matter what carrier.|||As far as I know, none at all, except for the official walkie-talkies the MTA workers use.
I just got medicaid insurance and i picked fidelis as my health plan. I recently moved from a different state so i need a good recommendation for a gynecologist in NYC. I've heard dreadful gyn stories and need help picking one that accepts fidelis. Any recommendations?|||you can check on there website for a dr.. http://www.fideliscare.org/providersearch.aspx|||ya sure his name is Paco Rivera he works out of his astro van. most of his tools are homemade but he is very intimate with you and gets the job done
Hello, I am a beginner in skiing. Whats the closest ski park to NYC with the most bunny slopes? I will skill for half a day. Any cheap parks around?
Thanks for the tips|||probably windham

I'm planning my vacation and I'm staying in Atlantic City, but one day of the trip I'd like to go into NYC. I will be driving, so I have some flexibility in traveling. I can drive to a park and ride and bus or train into the city, etc., but I just don't know the best station to go to. I'm also willing to go on a bus (like Greyhound). I did see the Greyhound website, but was wondering if you knew a better way.|||Drive. Garden State Parkway to New Jersey Turnpike, to Holland Tunnel.|||New Jersey Transit operates the #319 bus, which runs from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to Atlantic City for $35.75 one-way. Greyhound does the same trip for about $25 one-way, and it's basically the same thing, so I'd go with Greyhound.
There used to be a train that went from NY Penn Station to Atlantic City, but it cost about $75 and took the same amount of time as the bus, so it no longer runs.
I hope this information was very helpful.|||My friend, since you're driving from AC, you can head over Hamilton, NJ, which is has a large parking facility, and take NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor Line from there to New York Penn Station. The one way fare is $12.50 and the trip take about a hours and a half each way.
Parking at the Hamilton train station, which is located on Sloan Avenue near Interstate 295 in Hamilton, will cost you $7 for 12 hours.
The map at the link below show the driving directions from AC to the Hamilton train station.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck

i will be attending college in nyc and living on campus with a meal plan. I will have up to 2 jobs. How much money would I need to start out?
Is it hard to get multiple part time jobs in nyc?|||New York is verrrrrrrry expensive. With a meal plan, it will be a lot easier, and if you aren't intending on going out very much to clubs and what not, it will be cheaper, and since you are living on campus, it will also help.
In this economy, it's really hard to get a job without connections but there is always somewhere hiring!
So good luck to you!
I think you will do fine and I would recommend having around 4 to 6 thousand dollars with you to start!|||Well yes kinda it is hard to get jobs in NYC - But, I think since you got a HS diploma, it should not be that hard ; & as for the money to start off with, I'm assuming about 5,000 - 8,000 dollars|||I am in the same boat as you. Those are all exactly my questions.
Hello.
I am a Korean male going to medical school. I will be be starting my residency training in Internal Medicine and I am deciding between programs in NYC or LA.
Which city is better for meeting fun/friendy/hot Korean girls?
Thanks much!|||Um.. I'm Korean (half).. mid 20's 안녕하세요!!
LOL Anyways LA has way more Koreans, Korean's in NYC are way into themselves, but some Koreans in LA are "Americanize" and can be ghetto at times...
Overall it's cheaper to stay in LA than NYC considering cost when dating in NYC plus it's warmer in LA... (hello! beaches = Bikinis)
Who knows maybe we'll run into each other (yes I have no shame!) j/k
행운을 빈다 ♥|||I've been to both cities and I've never seen a Korean woman in any of them. Asians yes but that particular race no. I've noticed a lot of Phillipino girls in LA.|||You can find any kind of fun/friend/hot girls in NYC.
LA is just blonde bimbo's.|||LA, or whichever city you're closer too|||Korea.|||Pyongyang|||Murray, Kentucky. There are so many transfer students.|||LA
I'm a paramedic and I'm planning to move to NYC to go to grad school at John Jay College. Do paramedics make enough to afford living in NYC? Where are some good places to look for a place if I'm going to John Jay College and want to live on a paramedic salary?|||Well, first of all, currently, the typical salary for an FDNY Paramedic, is as follows:
Starting Salary $37,346
After 1 Year $41,139
After 2 Years $42,818
After 3 Years $47,233
After 5 Years $50,501
Bear in mind that in New York City, $125,000 is considered "Middle Class."
And, second of all, if you're a student at John Jay, they will have a housing department that can help you find a place, and you should take advantage of it, because, on your own, you'll have a hard time finding anything.
Good luck, and the links below are to webpages about John Jay Housing, and about FDNY Paramedics, and about the real cost of living in New York City...|||well they must or they woodnt do it...the make a lot because the are one of the closetest things to being a doctor and the fact that they have to do it in the back of a truck...so yea pretty sure i just dont no how much|||Best thing to do is find a roommate.|||no medical practitions make enougth money but most just care

NYC locals only please: What part of Harlem is undergoing a renaissance?
I understand parts of Harlem are undergoing a significant change. I am relocating and entertaining the idea of finding a place in those parts. However, I want to be cognizant of the area and avoid parts that might not be the best place for someone who did not grow up in the area. Can anybody provide the specific areas, location, street numbers, etc?
Thanks!|||Anything west of 8th avenue, particularly "west harlem" is really gentrifying as Columbia University is taking over more land and more luxury condos are coming up thus pushing everyone out.
I would stick away from the east harlem, aka el barrio or spanish harlem right now.
Don't go very far away from 125th street in central harlem as it gets kinda sketchy around 135th - to about 160th street. After that, you start hitting washington heights where i live, and i lived in both and think the heights are much better than harlem.
In summary:
West side = good yet expensive
east side = sketchy, but cheap
central = toss-up
close to central park = very good, very expensive (for harlem)
north of 135 to about 160 = avoid for now|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining|||for one, the Central Park North and the West 110th Street (Cathedral Parkway) corridor from Fifth Avenue to Morningside Park, and turning uptown along the downhill side of Morningside Park, which are Manhattan and Morningside Avenues.
PS - you can also take the #2 and #3 trains from West 110th Street / Central Park North and Lenox Avenue to Chambers Street, running express, in about 20 minutes. the IRT express trains also provide direct and excellent connections between Central Harlem and 4 stops in the Financial District.|||I agree with the areas listed. To answer the other part of your question, you can take the A from 125th street straight down to Broadway/Nassau. It should take about 45 minutes during the day.|||Another section of Harlem that is undergoing a renaissance will be the Lenox Avenue corridor from 110th Street all the way up to 145th Street. New buidings are going up and older one are being renovated. Also the 125th Street corridor is undergoring a renaissance. New store are moving in while the ordinary mom and pop shops are being pushed out.
I hope this information was very helpful. Good luck
Meeting some old friends for lunch on Saturday. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of good sit down/served places to eat near Penn Station in NYC? Thanks.|||i personally eat in penn station.. just cuz i like the burger place they have there..
other than that.. try fridays.. or one of the seafood places|||Julio's taco cart.|||Tick Tock Diner (I think that's 34th & 8th).
I am a US Citizen, and I'm planning to get a job in NYC as a graphic designer and/or a jewelry/accessory designer. Can you suggest to me, what are the best companies to work in?|||Your best bet is to look up Advertising Agency's and take a look at their client list. I you see that they have clients that you think you could help in the design area,contact that Agency to set up a personal interview. There is also an Advertising Club in New York City, you might want to contact them to see what suggestions they might have for you. Good Luck.
I say basically because well I have a bachelor of music like that's going to do anything. I don't mind working menial jobs, but can one get by on that in NYC? I have a lot of experience working for pizzeria's so I'd be keeping an eye out for a job like that.
Thanks !|||Many of us natives live here with from a GED to College degree, just a matter how you budget your money and where you live. Some can live comfortably alone and many of us have room mates to share expenses.
And yes you can get around NYC with bus and subway operating 24/7. It is not the best at times, but it is reliable to use to get to your destination.|||Yeah, sure, just expect to have a roommate and don't even bother searching for a place in Manhattan. Just start your search for a place in one of the outer boroughs.|||You probably wouldn't make enough money to live in Manhattan, but maybe in the outer boroughs
They use it primarily when they are showing images of NYC or Madison Square Garden. I don't hear any lyrics (usually just the instrumental) as they cut away as they show the teams/court.|||Thats it.

My nyc co-op apartment was broken into and I have no idea who. I live on the 10th floor so the person must have come through the doorman (who's usually not paying attention anyway) broke in and then left. I've contacted the building manager about getting a hold of the survellaince tape from that day of the camera outside the building and in the elevator. No response yet. This happened last week. What are the chances that the recording will be available?|||You should be able to get the tape. Hopefully you filed a police report and that should help.
Whenever I buy a carton of milk, there's an expiration date, and then a New York City expiration date.
For example, I have a carton right now that says:
Expiration: 1/21/08
NYC Expiration: 1/16/08
Does anyone know why this is?|||New York has stricter rules regarding the expiration date on your dairy products.
Apparently, they have NOTHING else to worry about now that there are no murders, muggings, car thefts, etc. to worry about, so they've worked their way down the list to milk cartons.|||NYC's standards are a little higher than what federal law requires.
Where can I go in NYC just randomly for an adventure safe and cheap. NY is getting boring for me. I've been to 34th street, Soho, Chinatown, 8th and 18th ave Brooklyn, Prospect park, Central park, Coney Island beach, Manhattan beach, east village, Korea town, and I guess those are the few off the top of my head. It'll be great to discover NY better. After all it's where I live.|||Go visit the South Beach-Franklin Delano Roosevelt Boardwalk in Midland Beach, right off the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It is two-and-a-half miles long, and has some long, beautiful stretches of beach. In addition, it鈥檚 very easy to get to. To get to South Ferry station in Manhattan, take the 1 train to the last stop, or take the 4 or 5 to Bowling Green and walk. The Staten Island Ferry is free of charge, and it takes about fifteen minutes to get from Manhattan to Staten Island. From the Staten Island Ferry Terminal take Bus S51 to Father Capodanno Boulevard and Sand Lane. Or, if you have a car, take the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to the Verrazano-Narrows, and follow the signs to Father Capodanno Boulevard, which will take you right to the beach and boardwalk.

My large family is in NYC. His family is little and in California. Should we stay in California or move to NYC?? What would be better? We dont know what to do! Please give advice. Thanks!|||NYC has more jobs, more growth. Go with NYC.|||Just as an example you want to go over each and every reason and compare the 2 for instance. NYC is more tightly knit so you don't need a car and have those expenses associated with having a car. while in CA you must have a car and gas expenses etc. Try to think up as many relevant things as possible and it should start to paint a nice picture of which way is best for you.|||I'll say none.

We are so looking forward for this vacation, we are coming from Aruba.|||It is safe, however, you should be cautious with people around you coughing and sneezing. If people look like they have a fever stay away from them. When i go to school I take the metro everyday. I usually bring, a facemask (precaution) and hand sanitizer. It also depends on where you are in New York. Try to avoid large crowds and such. I haven't gotten sick yet. Also, for some reason, the swine flu here in New York isn't as bad as in Mexico, but you still have to take precautions. stay safe.(P.S. where a facemask in the plane.

I am looking to take biochemistry I over the summer, but cannot easily find any school that offers it in lower westecher or the NYC area. Does anyone have any idea if there are any schools that offer it during their summer sessions in this area?|||Interesting. My first thought would be NYU, but I looked at their summer schedule, and they don't offer Biochem. Nor does Columbia, or Fordham. All have extensive summer schedules, but no biochem. SUNY Westchester has a surprisingly large number of bio and chem classes on offer this summer, but no biochem.
So I'll have to have you do some digging, or make a choice.
If you can't find biochem locally over the summer, can you take biochem 1 next term at your home school, and take another science this summer instead? SUNY Westchester offers a lot, including microbio, bio, chem, organic chem, etc. If one of those is required for your degree program, perhaps you can switch your plans and take it this summer, saving biochem for the fall.
Or keep digging. I'd suggest you look at the continuing ed pages for every accredited uni in the region, and see if you can't find biochem. So far, I've had no luck. But check NYIT, Manhattan College, SUNY Stony Brook, Polytechnic U, SUNY Purchase, etc.
Or, if you'll have access to a car and can not find the class locally, take it at Rutgers New Brunswick. They offer it this summer, and I'll link and put the details, below.
INTRO BIOCHEMISTRY (3.0) TTH (10:55AM - 01:55PM)
05/27 to 07/03
Rutgers would be kind of a haul, but it is commutable, and it's certainly better than nothing.|||New York University ....or Columbia University, both in Manhattan...or Rockefeller University or Albert Einstein, also Manhattan ....check to see if they are offering it

I'm a film student in NYC who wants to shoot a short in an NYC subway station. I'm working VERY small scale - 2 actors and 3 crew members - with no equipment besides a professional digital camcorder. I'm working on a shoestring budget (approx. 10K), and would only need a few hours to obtain 5 or 6 minutes of footage. I have no other needs - I would just like the right to carry a professional camera in the station for a few hours without getting myself arrested. What steps do I need to take to earn the proper permit?|||Legally speaking for NYC, I'm not sure. But you can probably get that info from the city's website, or city hall's website. You can probably go to city hall and ask the first infomation desk you see who you have to confer with to make sure you're square for filming. There might be security issues, or "creating a disturbance" issues you may not have considered. Or you can probably go to the area you want to film in and ask a security gaurd/officer on duty.
When I shot here in Ventura at the pier, I had to confer with the boardwalk's security gaurds so they knew we weren't, like terrorist scouting, you know? But I didn't need a permit.|||Very simple to answer. Permission from whoever has authority to give it. Call the city and ask.
When does my NYC auto inspection sticker expire? It only has April. Every state I have lived in gives until the last day of the month. But, from my experience with the crooked NYC nothing surprises me anymore. Thanks for your tips!|||The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles states that inspection stickers expire at the end of the month punched out on the sticker. So if you are from NYS then you would have until the end of November to get your car inspected and new inspection sticker placed on your vehicle. It appears at some point in time they had an extra hole to punch for which part of the month the inspection sticker expired however the NYS DMV states that the DMV has returned to the old policy.|||Thanks Carl...that's what I thought.

I currently live in NY and have a BA in Advertising and Marketing. Since the recession is strong in this area of business, I have been debating going back to school in a new subject area. I am very interested in possibly teaching high school in NYC.
I was curious as to what is the criteria needed to do this and what schools or programs I should look to if I decide this is what I want to do.
Any good information about this is greatly appreciated!|||At the moment, there is a hiring freeze on at the NYC Dept. of Education.
Schools cannot hire anyone who is not yet a teacher in the system.
However, there are certain hard to fill jobs that might eventually be freed from the hiring freeze.
These would be jobs teaching high school math or any teachers licensed in special education.
You would probably not be hired as a high school math teacher, even with certification. If they are going to go outside of the hiring freeze, they are looking for people with a strong background in math. However, you could be certified as a special education teacher.
I should warn you, though, that there is a reason that there is a shortage of teachers in this area. It's a hard job!!! It depends on the school and the population of students you are dealing with. But first year teachers usually do NOT get the plum assignments, and this is often a MUCH harder job than being a regular classroom teacher.
I want to move to NYC in about 11/2-2 years. I currently live in San Antonio, TX and I would like to talk with people currently living in NYC and people who are living elsewhere and have the same agenda as I do. It would be great if there was a website where people like me could talk to other people about our mutual love for NYC and our plans to move, costs, jobs, etc. Any suggestions for an existing site would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.|||Hmmm...you might try city-data.com/forum. You can search threads or contribute in the New York City section. This site isn't specific to New York, but you can probably find some good info there.
We are traveling next month and will have 2 adults and 2 kids. What's the cheapest way to get to NYC from Newark Airport. I checked amtrak and it's a little pricey - looking for other options.|||The first link below will take you to a site where an adult one way to NYC from the Newark Airport is $15 and round trip is $27 and $10 one way and $20 round trip for children.
If you don't mind lugging your suitcases up and down and all around after your flight then you can take the NJ Transit to Newark Penn Station then transfer to the PATH train to journal square if it doesnt go straight to 33rd street. transfer to the 33rd St PATH train into Manhattan. You can call for current prices but it should be around $9 total per person.
Best of Luck.|||My friend, Amtrak is intercity, it does not provide commuter service in this part of the Northeast.
With that said, the best way to get from the airport to New York City (you didn't say which part of the city you're going) is by public transit.
Step 1: take the Newark Airtrain monorail from the airport terminal to the Newark-Liberty International Airport train station.
Step 2: at the Newark-Liberty International Airport train station, purchase a one way NJ Transit commuter rail ticket from EWR to Penn Station New York and take any New York City-bound (eastbound) train from there to New York Penn Station. A one way ticket on NJ Transit from EWR to New York Penn Station, which includes an access fee to and from the Airtrain monorail, will cost you $15.
Once in the city, you can take the subway or a taxi from Penn Station to your final destination. The fare on the subway is $2.25 per person (children under 44 inches ride for free), while the taxi fare varies by the meter rate with the initial fare at $2.50.
I hope this information was very helpful. If you have any questions or need travel directions while in town, just drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile. I'll be glad to help.
Good luck|||It is possible to swim for free, but this is not recommended.
The cheapest practical way is to take an NJ Transit bus to Newark Penn Station and then take the PATH train from there to NYC.
Other options that are slightly more expensive than that, but much cheaper than Amtrak, include:
a: Take a bus the whole way.
b: Take a NJ Transit train (instead of an Amtrak train)
c: Take one train from Newark Airport station to Newark Penn Station and then take a PATH train from there to NYC.
What were the rules for driving an automobile in 1914 - 1920 NYC and was there an age limit? Did the person have to take a driving test?|||There were only chauffer licenses in those years. No regular drivers license until 1924.|||No age limit. I don't think they had drivers licenses then. Most people could not afford cars.

To buy a one bedroom apt in NYC - $500,000 and up.
Family of 6 - you need a few bedrooms - you need to make much more money that a teacher or Principal of a school.
Surrounding areas are not much better -|||Personally I disagree with this poster. Look at the real estate are on the NY Times website and you will find 3/4 bedroom homes in okay areas for a starter home startine at around 250,000 which cannot actually be bought by anyone who earns more than $70,000/ $80,000 a year by legislation.

I'd like to get to Atlantic City and back to NYC as quickly and directly as possible on a Tuesday. Hoping to avoid Greyhound, would prefer a ferry or train.|||Atlantic City Express operated by New Jersey Transit under contract with AMTRAK is Weekend route that actually from Friday to Sunday.
Step 1: At any Amtrak or ACES NJT Amtrak QuickTrack machines or you could also make reseration at Amtrak website, then putting NYP as NY Penn Station or ACE for Atlantic City Express
Other time:
New Jersey Transit #319 bus is seasonal service only.
Academy Bus offers Casiono service to/from Atlantic City.|||Actually the ACES Train is weekends only.
The only way to do a train weekdays is take Acela to Philly and then take the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line. Not direct and not quick.
And there is currently no ferry service to Atlantic City.|||Aces train will take you from the NY Penn Station to Atlantic City but it'll cost you. Taking Greyhound is much cheaper. Here's their link:

My Boyfriend and I are visiting NYC in mid October and we are looking for a restaurant to schedule a reservation. We want to splurge on amazing food, but we're more comfortable in less "stuffy" restaurants. This is his first trip to the city since he's from the south so we wanted to make it special. We enjoy "hip, trendy" environments, but we do not want to lose the quality of the food. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!|||There are tons of places to eat in the city that do not require a coat and tie. I suggest looking on www.menupages.com for a listing of restaurants with reviews or even www.opentable.com.

Despite his master's degree, he acted without any tact and was classless in his behavior.|||Don't go where this poor guy went!|||Cucina di Pesci (East Village). This is a casual Italian eatery. Very affordabel and very good food. The atmospshere is also great. It's a well known mainstay for locals. One of my favorite place in the city (I'm not real fond the the "stuffy" places either).|||You can get incredible food in Little Italy at just about any restaurant. My husband and I have been going to NYC twice a year for 22 years and we make it a priority to eat in L.I. at least twice during the week we are there. Prices are great, large portions, the best bread you can imagine and always, always amazing food and service. The atmosphere in Little Italy is just so different, there are neat little shops and it is quite a romantic area. possibly more historical than trendy.
Now on the other end of the spectrum, go to Bobby Vans for a steak that melts in your mouth and the steaks are huge. It is pricey, yet we went casual in fact I had on jeans. I entered the website for you below. It is considered to be trendy and I also included another web site you check out.
O.K. here is my favorite and you would love it. The River Cafe right under the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side. Impeccable dining experience with the Manhattan Skyline right outside you window, so go at night. It is expensive but worth every penny.
I hope you have a wonderful time together and eat good food until you can't fasten your pants. If you have never been to NYC I have to warn you, there is magic there and it is addicting. I begin to have withdrawals about every 6 months.

What is/are the most prominent advertising agency(ies) in NYC?
I'm thinking of applying for an internship during the fall and would like to know which agencies in NYC are considered the creme of the crope.
Not really for the salary but reputation and experience wise.
Thank you!|||I am not from New York however here are some ideas to consider. I have attached a link to the American Advertising Club in NY. I would check that out.Secondly what do you want to do - work on the creative side or business side? Find people who do those functions and ask for informational interviews. Interactive agencies are worth checking out as well.Use Google Advanced Search and enter advertising agencies and must have new york in my search for a list of agencies. Check them out - go to their websites and look to see which ones might interest you.Read Advertising Age and Ad Week to get a feel for New York agencies and what is going on.If you go to Yale I am sure there are alumni you can contact in the business who can help offer advice.You get paid 2 ways - experience and money. Take the opportunity for the best experience from your internship and money will follow.|||SO you have Harvard Degree? If not, umm..try something smaller|||The two best sources of information about advertising agencies in NYC are: 1) "Advertising Age." This is the national trade journal for the industry. and 2) "Crain's Business Journal -- NYC" -- this is the primary source of up-to-date information about the makers and shakers in New YorkCity, includin Madison ave. (Very few advertising agencies are now on Madison Ave., but it remains the generic term for the industry.)
I would read the two weeklies to get a sense of where the hot shops are and plan my campaign accordingly. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal will give you a day-by-day, blow-by-blow narrative which can help you sense who's up, who's down.
You must decide for yourself what kind of shop (advertising agency talk for advertising agency) you would like to work for. Creative...international...e-marketing ... boutique...etc. And the sort of job you'd ultimately like to have: again, creative, account management, media. I would also look at the sort of advertising any particular shop that strikes your fancy is turning out -- is it by the numbers ... inspired ...traditional...contemporary...British (perhaps the best advertising)...midwest...You've got your work cut out for you, but early intelligence work, reconnaissance, deployment of your resources, etc., and half the battle's won.

How long it take to drive from paterson, nj to nyc?|||It's about an hour and 15 minutes, and the link below is to a map with turn-by-turn directions from Paterson to mid-town Manhattan...|||Figure what mapping programs tell you - plus traffic. (NJ to NYC during the morning rush hour can easily add an hour - just to cross the river. (In 1980, the George Washington Bridge was delayed for hours due to a gas tank truck leaking gasoline all over the roadway. - that closed one of the 3 main river crossings, so you can imagine the fun.)
You can never figure travel time in, into or out of NYC without including traffic - it's a MAJOR contributor to the time. (It takes me over an hour to travel 37 miles on an interstate - in a suburb - in the rush hour unless I use the HOV lane. Cars regularly move at less than a slow walking pace in the city in the rush hour - on the highways.)|||try www.mapquest.com it should be able to give you the answer
NYC is a "subtropical" climate with mild winters much like the south and not that much colder. The snow and ice is only occasional much like DC and Atlanta. Is it possible that now or sometime in the future palm trees will be able to grow outside in that area? How far up the Atlantic from Florida does palm trees grow? Can global warming turn DC, Philly and NYC from a borderline continental climate into a climate like Florida or south Georgia? Dont hurricanes hit there?|||NYC is in a temperate climate zone, and is not subtropical, at least not yet. As a life long resident of NYC, I can say that the snow and ice are more than occasional. It may not be Alaska and recent winters may have been a bit milder than usual, but sub-zero temperatures are still a reasonable possibility each winter and single digit temps are quite common.
Right now, the most cold hardy Palm species grow as far north as North Carolina and southeast Virginia. Projected climate change models predict an increase in temps of about 10 degrees on average which would still not be sufficient to be able to grow Palms in NYC, although South Jersey is a possibility.
Hurricanes develop in tropical waters and then move north, often along the Atlantic coast and have long been known to do damage as far north as the Maritime Provinces. Climate change models do predict an increase in intensity and frequency of storms, in general. But that has no bearing on Palms growing in Central Park.
Increased ocean levels and resultant flooding are a much greater concern for New Yorkers. Most of the more fatuous places in NYC are only a few feet above sea level right now. Imagine the Statue of Liberty standing in water or taking a gondola to the Broadway theaters!|||european fan palms and cabbage palms can survive in weather down to 10 degrees fahrenheit. You get colder than that? I'm sure you do. One time for a few hours at below those temps will kill them.
I am a freshman college student In New York City. Only freshmen get dorms so I will be forced to rent an apartment next year. I have been anticipating finding an apartment but I am not sure when to start looking since I plan to move in around September 1st. Some say to start in January and some say in August. How far in advance should I look for an apartment in NYC?|||Start looking at least 2 months before. If you plan to use a broker, they only like to work with people who are looking to rent asap.
helpful tip: When you're looking for an apt in NYC, and you see something you like, jump on it right away. Once you start double thinking about it, it will be swiped from right under. Especially during the rental season which is just before school starts. Lots of kids coming to school here, lots of recent graduates with new jobs etc.
I will be traveling with a tour group from the midwest to NYC this summer. The tour includes many things and some free time. I want to go to Niagara Falls but am not sure what's the best way to go about it? Find a tour to pick me up and bring me back to hotel, rent a car and drive or just what. Any suggestions?
Also, about how far is it?|||Its about a 390 mile drive and the good side is on the canadian side....So you have to deal with that as well. If i were you I may want to book a seperate trip to go to the falls. But you can fly jet blue for about 100 each way but its still more than a day trip.
As a side note, you do not need a passport to go to canada by car until 2007.|||Um, it's about an 8 hour drive from NYC, so I would suggest flying to either Toronto (Canada) or Buffalo, NY, and then taking a cab or car service from the airport to the falls.|||Amtrak can get you there in about 9 hours for about $ 120.00 round trip pp Amtrak goes to both the American side and the Canadian side of the falls -
The Canadian side is nicer. The American side is really nice providing that you stay within a mile or so of the falls then it rapidly deteriorates into a past-it's- prime old industrial town However the old town does have one saving grace: Como's Italian restaurant-really good food .
You can drive it in about 8 hours it's around
425 mi and there are several different routing's.|||Depending on how much time you'll be spending with your tour group, just getting to Niagara Falls from NYC is a day trip of its own and may not be worth it if your time is limited!
Driving time (counting rest stops, getting gas, etc.) is about 8 hours one way, since you are talking from one side of New York State to the other (and New York is a pretty big state!). Add some extra time going into Canada (going through customs...you NEED a passport now) since there are more tourists and action going on the Canadian side. If you have that type of time, then it's really up to you on how you want to do this (train, bus, driving). But if you are talking limited time, then the trip and time to get there and then back to NYC isn't worth it.
Niagara Falls could be a future trip in itself with a tour :)|||well it is about 426 miles between the 2 some people it takes about 6 hours to drive it and others it takes up to 9 hrs. i have done the drive many times i am from buffalo which is the city just below the falls. if you want a fast way though get a round trip ticket with jet blue and it will only cost $49 each way.|||It's a really far drive. I would suggest catching a flight into Buffalo and then renting a car. You should be able to catch a cheap flight on one of the discount airlines. Check which airlines fly out of JFK or LaGuardia. You should be able to catch a flight out of JFK on Southwest for about $110 round trip. Realistically this is not something that you will be able to do in one day and actaully enjoy it. Especially without breaking the bank.
I have some other ideas that would take you out of NYC and aren't quite so far. You can rent a car and make it to Saratoga in less than four hours. And it's a straight drive. Just take 87 all the way up. Depending on when you are here the horse track might be in season. It is a lot of fun. There is also a beautiful state park, a spa, etc. It's a quaint city with tons of things to do, places to eat, etc. Oh lest I forget they have a great carosel in the city park.
A little bit closer is the village of Woodstock. You can drive to this little bohemian town in about two hours. Again it's a straight ride up 87. It is not the site of the concert, but a small town full of shops, psychics and interesting locals! If you did this you could also make it to Hyde Park on the same day. The Vanderbuilt home is there as well as FDR's home. Both are interesting places to go to. There is also the Mohonk mountain house near by. Another fun thing to do in this area is go fruit picking in the summer. All along the more rural roads there are tons of farms. If you are travelling with children they love this. Generally there are little animal farms on the orchards.
Depending on your love of gambling there are a few casino's in Connecticut that are close by and Atlantic City. AC is nothing like Vegas, but you can gamble. If you plan enough in advance there should be bus trips. If you like theme parks there is a six flags close by as well.
Also, consider going out to Long Island. You can pretend your one of the rich and famous in the Hamptons. There is a bus that goes out there, I haven't been in a while, but I believe it is called the Jitney. If you would like to star gaze (of the constellation and lifestyle types both) this is the place to be.
It's really great that you are trying to see more of NY than just the city. I have lived in NYC and upstate NY among other places. Niagra falls is just really far. It also tends to be cold, wet and full of tourists.
By the way when you are in NYC make sure that you go to El Malecon for a cheap delicious meal. Take the 1, 2, 3, or 9 train to 96th street. All of these trains are available at 34th or 42nd street stations. The 1 & 9 are local trains so it will take you a little bit longer to get there. There are two exits at this stop, but don't be confused. Just walk to 96th street. Then walk up the hill towards Amsterdam Ave. Then take a left. About a block and a half down is El Malecon. There are tons of roasted chickens in the window. If you get confused anyone in the neighborhood will be able to tell you where it is! Get the roasted chicken with a side. If your adventurous try the tostones! Yummy. If not just go with rice and beans or french fries. If you are going with a group of people, get one chicken dinner, a cuban sandwich and one of the dishes that they have freshly prepared that morning. Mix it all up. Oh and definitely order a babida. A yummy milkshake made with the fresh tropical fruit of your choice. You can eat it in there, but I recommend either walking down to riverside park (back down the hill) or central park (the opposit way). Disclaimer: A lot of the staff does not speak English. But just point and remember your are going to have a great meal!

I am going to NYC for the weekend and am comptiplating whether to bring my Nikon D200 and expensive lenses. I am worried about being mugged and having my equipment stolen. I am taking the train from Albany to NYC leaving 8am coming back at midnight. I use this equipment for wedding photography and have a wedding to shoot in 2 weeks and can't afford to lose it. How safe is NYC and how likely will I get mugged. Thanks.|||Isn't paranoia wonderful?
I like the suggestion of carrying your camera in something that doesn't raise a flag but then, that also makes it snatchable.
I've been to NYC many times and though I haven't really had cause to spend much time out on the streets at night, the few times that I did, I didn't have any problems. Maybe being 6'6", intimidating, and fit might have had something to do with that, but I don't give the aire of being a victim.
Try going to Detroit (the most dangerous city in America - with a Democrat Mayor of course) and NYC doesn't seem so bad. Chances are, where you will be will NOT be in Queens or suburbs of Brooklyn which could give you pause... I don't care for Yonkers either but then I don't like NY for it's crap politics just like I hate NJ for the same reasons... and Newark is MUCH worse than NYC.
Don't be a victim but then don't be afraid either. The reason things are called 'prey' is because they present themselves as such to predators. Be casual, make eye contact and walk like you have a bomb strapped around you. The aura that will surround you then will be felt by anyone who passes you "this is one lady we need to give respect too" is the thought confidence provides.
Enjoy your visit, take your D200 with you (it's still an expensive camera to replace when you don't have money to burn) and don't carry it where it can be snatched.
Common sense prevails and stupid is what stupid does. Don't be stupid, that's all.
.|||I just came back from NYC last weekend (Oct 11th,09) and I had debated taking my expensive camera as well, I ended up taking it, I just made sure that I had it around my neck the whole time. Noone tried mugging me, especially if you stay in the safer areas. The only difference between the two of us is, I do photography for leisure, and if you have a wedding in 2 weeks, I would refrain from taking it just out of respect for the bride. I'm sure she wouldn't be too happy if she got a phone call saying that you can't shoot her wedding because you lost your camera. Good photographers are hard to find, especially in such short notice. Plus, it wouldn't give you a good name. I know these are all what-ifs, everything could turn out fine, its really up to you and your gut feeling.|||I envy you for going to NYC but not for worrying so much about it concerning your camera. I have no experience visiting NYC to my regret, and only have an inexpensive camera that's very dear to me. so who am I to judge or advise? now, the city doesn't come across as scary to me at all (I think that was just way back). so I hope you're reassured by the answers you got and I definitely wish you take your camera and the opportunity to have amazing pics of an amazing place. but if it doesn't feel right and you're still uncertain, don't hesitate to leave it at home. your behavior might just attract the wrong people and the worrying might spoil the trip altogether. wishing you a wonderful time!|||I grew up in NYC and Moved to Portland Oregon and now in po-dunk town.

I'm planning a trip to NYC and am so intimidated by the subway systems, although I hear this is the best way to get around the city. How do I know which subway systems run uptown vs. downtown? Do the rides cost the same, regardless of how far you ride the trains? So daunting....|||My friend, when you go down into the subway, and pass through the turnstile, just lock for sign the says the following:
"Uptown and The Bronx", which basically mean that the train is traveling in the northbound direction and into the Borough of the Bronx.
"Downtown and Brooklyn" means the complete opposite. The train is traveling in the southbound direction and into the Borough of Brooklyn.
Now, you will sometimes notice a sign that will states "Uptown and Queens." This means the trains is traveling in the northbound direction and into the Borough of Queens. This sign only appears in stations in Midtown or Lower Manhattan.
In regards to the subway fare. The fare on the subway, regardless of distance, is $2 a ride. However, if you're going to be in town for a week or two, you can purchase an Unlimited Ride MetroCard, which will give you unlimited rides on the subway and bus system in the city.
The price for the Unlimited Ride MetroCard are as follow:
7-day card $25
14-day card $47
Either card could be purchased from either the token booth or the MetroCard machine in the subway.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck and enjoy your trip|||A trip on the subway, whether you're going one stop or 20, will cost $2 (unless you buy an unlimited MetroCard, but that's another story).
All of the lines that travel uptown will also travel downtown. You will just need to look at the signs in the station; they'll say which direction the train will travel. If the signs say "uptown/Bronx/Queens," that train will be northbound, and if it says "downtown/Brooklyn" it'll be going southbound. Here's the map: http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm
I know it seems a little scary, but it's really not that bad. As long as you know basically where you want to go, you should be ok. If you go in the wrong direction you just have to get out and hop on the train going the other way. And NYers are (usually) able to help you out - if you get lost, just ask and someone will point you in the right direction.
Good luck, and have fun!|||If the numbers of the streets increase you are going uptown, if they decrease then you are going downtown. To go from the battery to 33rd street you would take the uptown train. Yes the fare is the same if you go 2 stops or 20 stops. But if you have to get off at a station and change to another train there is no additional charge.|||Every service travels uptown and downtown.

New York had 16,900 robberies for 8 million people, or 0.0021 per capita in 2008.

Albany had 361 robberies for 100 thousand people, or 0.0036 per capita in 2008.
http://www.albany-ny.org/crimestats/2006…
So Albany has roughly 70% more robberies per capita than New York City. Not sure how many of those are muggings, but I would guess that 70% more holds up across different types of robberies.|||You will be fine if you pay attention to your camera. It's when you make it "eye candy" that someone would think of messing with it.

I've gone out to party in NYC because I have been
traveling around the world with my hubby.
I LOVE NYC!!!|||Oh man, there are so many favorite restaurants but if I had to choose one....I would say Tavern on the Green. My first time there was for a Sweet Sixteen, it felt like some kind of fairy tale, we wore gowns and went in a limo (cheesy, I know) but it always sticks in my mind and it felt like a magical night. The decor is magnificent. Can't beat that. And the staff was very friendly. I've been back a few times and it didn't live up to my memories, but it's still great. When you're young, you see things differently.
Now without that whole fairy tale imprint in my head, I would say The House. It's not your normal restaurant, it actually looks like a house. It's dark, the way I like it, and they specialize in wine, they do half bottles. And their prosciutto panini is to DIE for.
As for a bar, I'd say Cooper 35 because they have $4 drinks all the time. And a patio---its kinda ugly, yes---but for me a drink (that's strong but cheap), a smoke, and good conversation can't be beat.
Something a little more upscale would be Flute. It's a champagne bar, but they do all kinds of drinks. It's dark and red inside, lots of velvet, small and quaint, you can snuggle up in a booth behind a curtain with your sweetie over champagne or sit at the bar with the friendly bartender. Dont let the place fool you, it looks like its only for rich snotty people, but it's really not.
Most importantly, have fun!!!|||I love SEA... ive been gonig here for years. They have 2 locations, one location is in brooklyn, it is huge. The one in the city is smaller and cozier. If you can go to the one in brooklyn b/c the ambiance is nicer and better for groups

In the private sector, where I work, "accepting full responsibility" frequently means you clean out your desk and hit the road. But in government, it's a sound bite used to appease the masses. Will this NYC flyby thing be the same? Comrade Obama is already floating the big lie that he knew nothing in advance, will his minions take his cue, do the same and keep their jobs?

The government policy is that the flight plans of those planes (whether the President is on board or not) is 'need to know' only. The local aviation authorities and the Mayor were informed (at least at the bureaucratic level). The public was not.

Well clearly in this case an empowered decision maker should have either canceled the flight or made the plans known.
Much has been made about getting a 'photo-op' but that was only a secondary reason for the flight (and the primary reason for the flight path). But the flight was for training.
But can you imagine the mock outrage that would be heaped upon the Administration if they had just photo-shopped the plane over NYC?|||a few will , ther needs to be consequences in government for these things ultimately its Obama's fault
I just moved to NYC and want to know what are the absolute best Chinese restaurants in Flushing, Queens or Chinatown or anywhere in NYC. I am looking for authentic, non-Americanized Chinese cuisine. I am Chinese myself so I am very particular about it being authentic. Thank you for your input!|||I live in Flushing and the best authentic chinese (cantonese style) restaurant in flushing is called Imperial Palace at 13613 37th Ave, Flushing, NY. It's really good and not overly pricey. Avoid the weekends b/c it's extremely busy.|||There are many authentic Chinese restaurants in lower Manhattan, Flushing, Queens and Sunset Park, Brooklyn. I suggest that you go to one of these areas and ask the locals there. I am an American who loves Chinese food; I find the restaurants better in Flushing and Sunset Park than Manhattan. But, your tastes are very different from mine. I love Fukanese food and the Fukanese restaurants in Sunset Park are much better than in Manhattan's Chinatown. But, I think to find what you are looking for, ask Chinese people - not Americans.
I frequent a buffet restaurant in Flushing called East (on Main Street, naturally). At any given time, at least 90% of the patrons are Chinese. There are several rooms and on weekends there are usually weddings there. The food is good, not great, but it's all you can eat - AND they always have lobster with scallions and ginger - and many shrimp dishes. Lobster and shrimp are expensive, so all you can eat appeals to me. There is a large dessert table with puddings, cakes, and pastries. Although I have a sweet tooth, I never touch these - I find them dry and much too sweet. However, I pig out on the cold soup with melon balls - delicious.

My sister and I are planning a road trip from NYC to San Francisco this summer, and we were wondering (assuming the car and the other variables are averagely priced/consumed) how much it would cost!|||one way? 2911 miles if you go I-80 all the way, remember I-80 is a toll way in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois area, total toll will be around $12 .
You will need 130 gallon gas x $4= $520
You need 4 night motel stay, let's say $60 average x4= $240, driving in fatigue is discouraged.
Food and drink for $30 average per day X 5=$150
If you want to stop over at Chicago, Denver and detour to Yellowstone, Arch national parks, expect $100 more per day.
Probably you need $1000, why not take flight, it is $129 one-way( total $150) now with promotion code and 6 hour flights|||Too many variables, really.
OK, for starters, are you going back?
One-way, figure 2500 miles, 20 miles to a gallon, $ 4/gallon, that's $500 for gas. (Keep breathing.)
Add fur nights in cheap motels at $50, that's another $200 (and serious driving days.)|||No way to tell. It would depend on the type of car and its mileage/how you drive, the route, what you consider a cheap hotel and how often you'd be stopping.

There is nowhere decent you would want to park your car for less than $400 by the time all is said and done, the cheaper rates tend to be open lots or for long term storage racks, not in and out use.

I'm out of school for the summer and i wanted to be a bartender but all the bar tending schools in NYC charge $300-$700. Does anyone know were i can get some training to become a bartender for cheap or for free?|||Don't go to bartending school (i.e. don't waste the money) unless the job you are applying to requires such an endevour (usually only hotels and casinos ask for that kind of stuff)
Also, most states don't require a license either. Depending on what state you live in you need to make sure of the age requirements (most states require that you are 21 years old and that's it, some want you to get a state license...etc...) Just check the laws for your state (go here: http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/StateAn鈥?/a>
The most important thing that you should do is pick up the Bartender's Black Book (you can usually find it at a local package store, if not order it from Amazon). It has thousands of recipes, Plus all the basics, terms, and measurements you need to memorize immediately. Learning your pour count, knowing how to make a Long Island, a Martini, a Cosmo, how to tap a keg, etc...
Other than knowing how to pour drinks and serve drinks quickly, the main thing a bartender has to do is listen/talk to people. Make sure you are a people person. You have to love to listen too, especially to drunks. You also want to be up to date on local stuff (where the best entertainment spots are, the nearest hotel, the cab's number, etc...) You also need to have at least two jokes you can pull from memory. One dirty, and one you could tell your mother. Both have to be funny. Also be up to date on all sports scores, especially on local teams. Know who is playing who and at what time (make sure to have it on the TV too).
When starting out, it may be tough to get a job. The best thing to do is to apply to all the places that cycle through bartenders/barbacks a lot (like restaurants, hotel bars, etc...) Then find bars that you like personally and become somewhat of a regular at those places. Get to know the other bartenders, owners, managers, and then in a few months drop the line that you would be willing to work for them. Start out as a barback and work your way up. Most small bars are run like families anyway. You will have to know your fellow employees well. That is how I got my first two bartending jobs and eventually made it to bar manager.
Bartending is an extremely fun job. You will meet tons of people and hear lots of interesting stories. Plus you will know alcohol better than the back of your hand. I find it to be quite rewarding when it comes to the bank account too.
Have fun and good luck.|||Out of school ??? you may not be old enough..

I was planning to buy what I wanted on eBay but I'm still now sure what I'm able to buy. The only things I could think of was a stun gun and pepper spray.|||Actually, NY outlaws damn near everything.

Hi,
Without using a car, how do you get your pet from Boiston to NYC without driving? Anyone have an answer?|||Are you visiting Boston from outside of the USA then
plan to visit NYC? If so, make sure that the pet is
properly vaccinated before coming as required by law.
This way, they are not placed in quarantine without you.
If "car" means any automobile or ground transportation,
you will want to fly from Boston if budget allows for it.
Buses (like Greyhound) will not take any pet if it is
not considered a service animal and requires a person
along for the trip. Amtrak trains are the same. Good luck.
http://www.cdc.gov/animalimportation/Bri鈥?/a>
http://411newyork.org/forum/|||You can take either the train or the bus from Boston to NYC.
If you're taking the train, Amtrak's Acela or the Northeast Regional will get you to New York City in about three and half to four hours for about $70 to $120 one way.
Now, if that a bit expensive, you can take either the Acela to the Northeast Regional to New Haven, CT where a connection can be made to the Metro-North's New Haven Line to Grand Central. Metro-North is a commuter railway, simular to that in Boston. The one way fare from Boston to New Haven on Amtrak will cost you between $50 and $120, while a round trip off peak ticket on Metro-North from New Haven to the City will cost you $30.
If you want to travel by bus, you can take BoltBus or Megabus from Boston to NYC. The one way fare on BoltBus will cost you around $25, while the one way fare on Megabus will cost you $13.
It should be noted that I would recommend taking any of the Chinatown buses, as their prone to the accident on the highway. There has been a few incidents with these buses on I-95 due to driver fatigue and other factors.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck

Hello All,
I moved to NYC a few months ago, and so far I have been unable to meet any new people. I would like to join a social meetup group (young black professionals/or other similar groups) but haven't been able to find any quality ones so far.

They know you come to spend money so you'll get pampered.
To not appear as a tourist:
* Hide the camera & minimize photo taking.
* Don't wear the "I <3 NY" T-Shirt.
* Camouflage your (foreign) acent.
* Avoid clothing/styles not native to New York(ers).
* Hide street maps (or look often at your GPS)
* Hide airline stickers/tags on travel bags.
* Hide your (translation) dictionary and much more.|||Don't stop in the middle of the sidewalk to figure out directions, to look at a tall building, or to tie your shoe.

It also depends what your lifestyle is like. If you live in a two-story home in Staten Island and have a car, it'll probably cost a lot less than living in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan without a car.

There's so much to do and see. Let me make a few suggestions:
1. A lot of stuff is FREE to see in all these towns...make sure you take advantage of that and save your money to eat all the glorious food. I don't know where you're from, but I'm from TX, so I don't get great Philly chesesteaks and cart food here.
2. If you're going to Ellis/Liberty Island do yourself two favors:
a. don't go on a weekend
b. buy your tickets in advance!
My friend and I spend 3 and a half hours just trying to get on the ferry as the line wrapped itself around Battery park. This is after we spent and hour in line for tickets. Luckily, it's worth it.
3. Philly is such a beautiful town. Make sure you see independance hall and the liberty bell, it really is a must see!
4. D.C. has so many mueseums! Make sure you take your time, b/c they're all so big. It's best to map out where you want to go BEFORE you get there so you can see what you want to see.
5. Have fun! Like I said, my 3 fave cities. I'm not much of an "eastern" girl, but I do enjoy spending time in these places! The kinetic energy is just great!
|||Two things come to mind Hershey Park - you know, that chocolate stuff? But it sounds like you are into history a bit - Gettysburg is a day well spent.

It is not the cheapest way to charter a plane!!|||Commercial flights are always much cheaper. But hey, if you've got it, flaunt it.|||What's your budget like?? Go charter...more...luxurious|||It all depends on your budget. How expensive it is would be relevant to how wealthy you are. I've quoted clients up to $300,000.00 for a trip like that without them so much as batting an eye.
If price is not an issue then you'll defiantly want to find a charter broker who can get you the best price and the best aircraft for your trip. Brokers have access to tons of aircraft from different charter operators. Their allegiance isn't to any specific aircraft but to the customer so you'll know you are getting the best deal.
If price is an issue then flying commercial or possibly chartering a midsized yacht is the way to go.|||This just depends. Some airlines charge up to $2500 to fly from KJFK to Rome. With 50 people, you might be better off chartering, unless everyone was paying their own fare.|||Definitely not. Charters are at least 2-3 times more expensive than commercial and probably 5-6 times more expensive overseas.
I live in Europe and I have a couple of job offers, one of them in NYC. I would like to know how much money would I need to live there.

Can anyone tell their experience?|||A one bedroom apt in Queens is about $1000 a month, so before anything, start searching Craiglist for some roomies!
Now salary wish (for money to "live off of" and pay your bills), you will need to make at least a minimum of $40,000 yearly, and that's if you have a roommate because you can't pay rent and bills on that alone.
Many neighborhoods are good to live in. Try Queens before you go to Brooklyn, The Bronx... and stay away from Staten Island. You don't want to live there... trust me. lol
Food is expensive. Not sure what it's like in Europe but if you eat out you can find some bargains but taxes and stuff are a little higher so you have to compensate for that.

|||A friend of mine who works real estate here said that you need to make about 40K for every 1K rent to live comfortably. You do the math...it ain't pretty...|||Expect to "prove" that you are making 40% of your yearly salary to qualify for most nice apartments in the city. I would also negotiate with any potential employers that they cover your brokerage fee.
(the most common and easy way to look for an apartment is to use a broker who charges you 15% of the yearly rent). For a studio apartment you will pay $1500-1700 (300 sq tiny feet). For a 1 bedroom (600 sq tiny feet) about $2300-2500/month.
I would check out Queens, New Jersey cities, Brooklyn, or the Greenwich, CT area for outside the city options. and Find out what subway/ferry lines your new company is on...so you know what sort of commute you are getting yourself into.
Also check out craigslist.com to get an idea of rent prices.
As far as food, etc. IF you are ready to be thrifty you can make it happen. Eat in vs. eating out etc. It's cheaper than Paris if that's where you are coming from...or so they say!|||I can't give you numbers, but I do know that NYC is one of the top three most expensive cities to live in in the US.|||I rent a one bedroom "flat" in a good area of Queens, $1,400/month.

For rent, maybe you chalk up 1k-2k

But if you say your from Europe, the cost of daily expenses there are quite high too, so I think you should be fine.
I travel to NYC once a week. I bounce around on people's couches, but would love to have a place where I could reliably crash. Are there rental options like this?|||yes! They're quite common in NYC, I bet you've seen them. You just pay somebody on your way in, and you get to sleep there all night, use the bathroom, and stay until probably noon the next day. They're called "hotels"|||Well, sure, if you want to pay for a monthly roommate rental but only stay there 4 nights a month, you could do that, or... you could stay in a hotel, that's what they're there for.
Good luck!... :-D
Do they do this because it's in the same region? Or is their thinking because they historically had similar immigrant groups, they should sound similar? They just don't sound anything alike though. Philadelphia actually sounds very close to Baltimore. It sounds kind of southern. It's definitely rhotic though. NYC and Boston have some similarities. The Philly area isn't as wealthy as NYC & Boston, so they don't have the same amount of transplants from other states and immigrants. So that's why it might seem the accent isn't dying away as quick.|||Ignorance and a lack of an ear for language.|||Most people don't know one accent from another...|||I agree with Wise Uncle.

I have gone through the process of applying for an apartment in nyc public housing. I have gone through the interviews, now my family and I are waiting for an apartment in a development to open up for us. But what does priority w2 mean?|||it means that even though your applying for something for free, you have enough money for a laptop and to go online all the time, so your not top priority.|||It means you meet the criteria as a working family, with income above 30% of the area median, but below 50% of the median. If you don't have an emergency condition, people who are in priority W1 will generally get preference over you as they have incomes that are much lower than yours. The waiting list for NYC public housing has 140,000 families on it according to their website, so it is probably going to be a long wait.

What do you want to get a picture of with the Statue "in the background"? You can see the statue from the top of the Empire State Building or the GE Building at Rockefeller Center, but you can't see it from Times Square - there are too many buildings in the way.|||Well, if you mean that you want to get a snapshot of yourself with the S.O.L. in the background, the best spot is way downtown on the waterfront, but I'm afraid that it's miles away from both Times Square and JFK.

I live in Northern NJ and i'm entertaining job opportunities in Manhattan(NYC) some people tell me that i need to account for "double taxes" when negotiating for a salary. I just want to know how much more i should expect to pay in taxes when working in NYC vs. any other location in New Jersey. Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.|||Contrary to what Walter said, MOST states tax income that is earned in their state. There are some states that have reciprocal agreements with neighboring states that will not tax residents of those states. This is the exception, not the rule.
You will need to file a resident return in NJ and a non-resident return in NY. I don't think you will be liable for NYC taxes. You will get a credit on your NJ return for taxes paid to NY. The credit will be equal to the lower of the taxes paid to NY or the tax NJ charged on the income.
Your employer does not have to withhold NJ tax unless he has a location in that state. He will withhold NY tax. So, in that sense you are double taxed. You may owe NJ tax because none was withheld, but with the credit, its as if you where only taxed by one state.|||Sharontha, your friends are only partly right about double taxes. New York, unlike most other states, taxes the earnings of non-residents who work there. Most other states allow you to be taxed only by your state of residence. This means that you will have to file two state income tax returns, a non-resident form for NY (the instruction book for this form is 93 pages), and a resident form for NJ. At your expense, of course. On the NJ return, you may claim a credit for the tax paid to NY, which will cut way down on your NJ tax, so adjust your withholding accordingly. There is no way I can suggest which state will give you a better tax deal without working out your taxes for each state, but the problem is, with the current system, you will wind up paying the maximum. I wish I had better news. And besides the NY state tax, there's a city tax if you work in NYC.

I was watching a documentary series on satellite TV called Trashopolis, and I was watching the NY episode. I didn't see the whole series, but I wanted to know how did waste management/treatment people and racketeers in NYC make money with garbage? They turned the trash into something but I don't know what - they mentioned that in the series but I missed that. I would like some help with this - please help. Thank you.|||Two ways. First, they monopolized the trash pick-up business- if you weren't mob
connected and tried to go into business for yourself, you were threatened/ and/or
hurt by the mob-including murder. The mob then was able to charge whatever
they wanted to pick up your garbage.
Second. they owned recycling plants for cardboard trash which they sold to legitimate
recycling plants. They also controlled the cart-men's union, so if you wanted a job
or to do business in the waste-management industry, you had to go through them.
They had it tied up coming and going.|||'Garbage collection' may at 1st seem like something unimportant and disgusting, BUT think about it! It 'has' to be done constantly and regular (every week forever), right???
If you could make people pay for this 'service' (every week, constantly forever) over time it would add up to HUGE money wouldn't it?
So, you get the politicians to 'change the rules' starting in the 1980's, to allow 'private contractors' to run the garbage industry that everyone must use every day. You allow them to charge as much as they want, and illegally beat up or torch anyone who doesn't want to use their 'pay for' garbage service. And soon in a crowded populated state like New York they're taking in $1 billion per year in garbage payments $300-500 million of which is profit to run their other criminal rackets, and the public is paying twice as much as it would otherwise cost them for garbage, the difference going to support organized crime.
It appears from looking at Google satellite images that there's only a three mile gap between Little Diamede (US) and Big Diamede (RU) islands. These are connected by what looks like frozen ocean. So it seems possible to walk or ride a bike from US to Russia. But to ride continuously from NYC to Paris you'd need to reach these islands w/out a boat, which are only about 25 miles from their respective mainlands. Does this Ocean ever freeze enough to cross?|||You're right that it is about 50 miles from mainland to mainland. The Bering Strait does freeze each winter and the locals go out on snow machines (what 48-staters call snowmobiles) and/or land ski planes on the ice.
But there are often open leads in the ice from expansion, contraction, and the currents, so most adventurers are prepared to cross 10-50 feet of water when needed.
I'd see the bigger issues as:
Hundreds of miles of swampy land between Manley Hot Springs (closest thing on the road system) and the Bering Strait. At least it would be frozen in winter, but you want a dog sled for that, not a bicycle, unless someone has prepared a trail for you.
Hundreds of miles of swampy or snowy ground on the Russian side before you get to any gravel roads or paved surfaces.
Border crossings, outside of established locations is rarely appreciated by the recieving country. Especially Russia. The guy who sailboarded from Little Diomede to Big Diomede was jailed upon landing in Russia. Cool stunt, though.|||Wow... what a BRILLIANT IDEA... did you think it up yourself or AFTER YOU SAW "THE LONG WAY ROUND" on TV? about the 2 guys on MOTOR CYCLES that went from SCOTLAND to NYC by traveling EAST around the world.|||David in Kenai knows what he is talking about. It would be almost impossible to ride a bike to the coast. If by any chance you invented a bicycle that could traverse the swamps and lakes, you would run out of food, as the villages are too far apart for food resupply for a bicyclist. Then, as he said, the ice is not only rough and full of big hills of broken ice, but it has thin spots and open channels of water. People who have tried to walk or snowmobile that route have found themselves floating away on an ice floe of ever-decreasing size. And with global warming, even some of the people whose ancestors traveled the ice for centuries have disappeared into the ocean, as the ice is no longer as thick or predictable as it once was. Scientists are predicting that the summer arctic ice pack will be gone in just a few years.
If you want to do an epic bike ride, maybe you could do one somewhere else to publicize a cause of some sort? Raise money and awareness? Do presentations along the way? If you ride through Alaska it will just be you and the mosquitoes. I probably wouldn't do northern Canada, either, as you would have to look over your shoulder for polar bears. If you want adventure, maybe retrace the route of an early explorer?

Any tips on how to obtain this letter?|||漏 Go to the DMV office, they may be able to help you better.|||Your probation officer may not be a DWI specialist. There is a DPCA form that is sent to the DMV after the Court has given you permission to apply. The fact that your PO said that he didn't know tells me that he usually doesn't supervise DWI's often. If he does not want to look into it, ask to speak to his supervisor, or very nicely explain to him that you are aware of a DPCA form and ask him if he could take a few minutes to ask around for it.|||Give an example of the said letter to your probation officer, or ask them to contact the DMV, or research on their website.
As a potential NYC resident I understand that I've been accustomed to certain luxuries while living in the south. What are some of the things most NYC area apartments do not offer and I should be paying attention to. In other words, What is the fine print?|||I am from the South too and moved to NYC several years ago. First of all apartments here are hard to get if you're picky. They don't do the one month free kind of thing. They generally don't have dishwashers, central A/C, gyms, pools, and extras like that.
A majority of the apartments are available only through real estate brokers and they usually charge one to two months rent for their fee. You can get around this by going to craigslist.com nytimes.com or village voice newspaper and searching for apartments listed as NO FEE or no broker. If you want to live in Manhattan, the space will be very tight. Usually an apartment near public transportation is more expensive, though worth it. The winter is the best time to start a lease as it is the slow season.
You should expect to pay the first month's rent plus one month's deposit, and sometimes last month's also.
And do me a favor, don't pay a "membership fee" to attain access to a list of apartments. I did that when I first moved here, and it was a joke.
Hope this is helpful and happy hunting!|||There are still older Manhattan apartments that have the tub in the kitchen and the toilet on the other end of the apartment in a closet. Don't be surprised if you see something like that.
I'm not sure where you're looking but I'm in a large rent stabilized building (30+ apartments) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and my apartment has not undergone any renovation. Unrenovated apartments in buildings like mine tend to be cheaper. I have a very typical apartment, if anything it's a little on the large side for something that hasn't been renovated yet.
KITCHEN: about 12x14 with a tiny alcove by the bathroom. It only came with a crappy old stove, a 30 year old refrigerator and sink which sits on a yucky metal cabinet. I only have 2 wall cabinets for dishes and they are screwed in over the sink area. There was NO kitchen counter, just a space between the sink and the stove where I had to rig something. There were no 'extras' like dishwasher, fan, etc.. The one window looks out into a cement courtyard where I see the backs of other buildings.
BATHROOM: about 4x5 with just enough room for a decent sized claw foot tub/shower, toilet and medicine cabinet. There is NO sink in the bathroom and that is common in older apartments around here. You can look out the window while in the shower but it's frosted glass.
LIVING ROOM: a little more than 12x12. It has two windows that also look out in the cement courtyard. The ONE closet in the entire apartment is in the living room. I had to buy my own air conditioner. Off of the living room are the two bedrooms.
BEDROOM 1: about the same size as the living room with two windows with accordion window gates that face the alley and building next door. Has the fire escape window. No closet.
BEDROOM 2: is a little more than 12x7 and has one window that faces the cement courtyard. No closet.
When I got the place 9 years ago, every floor was covered with that one piece roll up linoleum or ugly glued on linoleum tiles. The walls were all white but covered in 70 years worth of paint so every corner has a somewhat rounded look to it. There are three cast iron radiators for heat but one never worked. The bathroom and smaller bedroom both have a metal pipe that runs floor to ceiling for heat. The landlord controls when the heat is on so I have no control over it. If I try to turn off the radiator because it's too hot, it leaks water all over the floor. The apartment originally came with ONE outlet in each room, no outlet in the bathroom. They have since added more to the kitchen and a special one in the living room for the air conditioner. There is no doorman, no security system, no sprinklers, no buzzer/intercom system, no fire extinguishers.
When I got the apartment in 1997 it was $750/month. Since it is rent stabilized, I have the right to renew my lease (1 or 2 years) for as long as I want. The rent is only raised when each lease expires and it can only be raised a certain percent which is regulated buy a government agency. After 9 years, my rent has only been raised to $900. The market rate for an apartment the size of mine in my neighborhood seems to be about $1600 now but most seem to be renovated and in much better shape than mine. You should read up on rent stabilization laws because you are in a MUCH better situation if you rent an apartment in one of those buildings and you have more rights as a tenant.|||Your fellow southerner gave excellent advice. I would just add that there are certain areas you might want to concentrate your search in. Any of the communities in Queens along the #7 IRT, such as Astoria, Sunnyside and Flushing, are okay. Little of the Bronx is except Riverdale (very expensive, and a long trip to Manhattan), Kingsbridge, and Co-op City. Staten Island has few rentals, but those it has are mostly okay (avoid Jersey Street, the Holland Houses, and Stapleton Houses). Brooklyn, check out Flatbush and Sheepshead Bay.|||This is a nice place to live:

Hello!

I am driving from Montreal to NYC this summer and was wondering how much would the tolls cost on my route to NYC?
Is there a better alternate route that will be more economical?|||there is the ny thruway (87) which is about $5.50 in tolls (for the thruway only) plus the cost of bridges or the option of going through vermont on the 89 to the 91 to the 95 (no tolls but bridges) or even taking route 9 all the way down (it is a small road) through ny, given time and distance going through the thruway would probably be the most practical, although going through vermont is beautiful.|||$17.85 in tolls. Go to Burlington, cut right to upstate NY, travel south through Saratoga (stop at Fort Ticonderoga), continue south until you arrive in NYC.|||To your first two answers, I'd just like to add that although Autoroute 15 Sud (which becomes I-87 once you cross the border) is indeed the quickest route, it would be worth it to make a small detour to avoid crossing the border there, i.e. a lesser road into NY state (219 Sud to Route 22 in Mooers, NY, for instance), because it isn't unheard of to wait for literally over two hours to use the Autoroute 15/I-87 crossing.

Your best bet is a state job NY is lucky with raises & such, FL is very different.|||Yes they can make a living. Any semi-successful NYC real estate agent should be making 400k+. Top agents will easily break $2 million a year.
The problem is that it takes money to advertise and getting to a place where your business is established will take years. Advertisement is more expensive in NYC....but if you are serious and can afford to starve for a year of so (a spouse who supports you) it's a very lucrative market.
Real Estate agent income is based on median cost of the area they sell in, the market segment they specialize in.....and very importantly and always forgotten - the TURNOVER rate of real property. CA for example has an extremely low turnover rate cause by artificially low property tax.

My solution? I asked for a written prescription and had it filled in the pharmacy. It is legal and safe to do this. If your vet will not write a prescription (for meds that are not exclusive to animal use) then switch vets.
As far as honest vets in NYC go, check with your neighbors and friends for recommendations or try using the ASPCA (I believe they have an animal hospital with a sliding fee scale)|||Of course there are honest vets in NYC...You do have to keep in mind, that cost of living is higher, rent is higher, everything is higher.

Where should I be looking for apartments that match this criteria? What mass transit opportunities do they have? Are there any websites that list them?|||Newark|||Parts of the Bronx and Queens
I am graduating from UCLA in the spring and want to move out to NYC. I've only visited so I don't know the break down of the neighborhoods that well. I've been reading the Brooklyn is a great place for cheap places and young people, is this my best bet? And since I live in LA, what would be the best way for me to search for places in NYC?|||It depends what type of lifestyle you want. Do you want to live right near or in Manhattan? Well then you'll either be living in a small apartment, in a crummy area, or paying a very high rent. If you can give us a budget, we can help you find a good area.
The further from Manhattan you go, the more value you get for your money in terms of space and/or quality of life (safety).
I hope this information was very helpful.|||Queens is generally very safe - I've never heard of anyone having any problems there. I know a lot of people that live in Sunnyside, Woodside, Astoria, and Long Island City. All are served by the 7 train, and are only a few stops from Midtown.
Astoria is a big neighborhood for young people and families alike. The other neighborhoods are largely residential and family-oriented, so very safe. There's a large Chinese population as you move out towards Flushing, which makes for a great array of delicious restaurants.
In Brooklyn, Greenpoint and East Williamsburg/Bushwick are relatively affordable yet still close to the action in Williamsburg. Lots of young people in those areas. If you can afford it, Clinton Hill is also nice.
You might even find some affordable apartments in the East Village in Manhattan. Other affordable Manhattan neighborhoods are going to be way uptown: West Harlem, Morningside, East Harlem, Inwood.|||Brooklyn isn't a neighborhood, it's a borough FILLED with neighborhoods. The boroughs are each the size of a large U.S. city. Brooklyn is the size of Philadelphia.
There are many neighborhoods in Brooklyn. While on the whole, they are cheaper than Manhattan, they are not cheap! Some can be very expensive indeed, almost as expensive as Manhattan.
Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope cost almost as much as living in Manhattan these days. Williamsburg, once a great deal for young people, has become much more expensive. All the areas that young people used to move to are like that now.
There are also a few areas to avoid, as they can be dangerous. And some areas that once were quite dangerous, like Bedford Stuyvesant and Bushwick, now have a lot of young people moving there. I just can't believe they are completely safe today, certainly not every block.
And there are perfectly safe, cheaper neighborhoods that are so far out and/or so poorly served by mass transit that they are not desirable places for young people.
The neighborhood I'd recommend is Sunset Park. It's close to hotter neighborhoods, like Park Slope. It's not far from Manhattan and it's well served by subways. The housing stock is nice. The area is interesting (it's an ethnic neighborhood, Chinese at one end and South American at the other.) And the housing costs are lower there.
Good Luck.
Sometimes I see young people, say late teens, early to mid 20s living or moving to NYC. How do they afford to live there assuming that their parents are not too rich?
Or if they are interning in NYC, how do they afford an apartment?|||excellent ?.
i have been wondering that myself. i seriouslt dunno.
maybe they just want NY so bad, they've been saving up all their teen years.....then when they run out they turn in to the bums htat are always in the subways...lol, i honestly dont know, but i would love to find out.|||I lived in NY when I went to college. I was born and raised in SO CAL so price wise it wasnt a huge jump, but given that the cost of living is more minimum wage and everything like that is more there too, so in a sense it all works out, and when you have room mates and everything, it really is no different.|||Lots of people, young and not-so-young, have roommates. Sharing a place with one or more other people (three or four people together isn't uncommon) can keep the cost reasonable.|||I know what you mean!..I looked at apartments and the prices..and i mean i looked at supposedly cheap ones..and i can tell you..completely out of my price range!..I would love to live in NYC but..even if i did consider having room-mates to keep the price down..i just wouldn't know anybody!..So i would say you'd probably have to know somebody living there to make it cheaper!|||1 word - room mates|||They live six to an apartment in Brooklyn.|||I just moved to NY from the south and I can tell you its very expensive here. Rent, food, cabs, tolls, parking tickets, entertainment, etc. can get ridiculous. So I've noticed most young and older people have roommates. Another thing I've noticed is there are families that have been living here for years and they pass apartments down to the younger generations if the apartment is rent controlled. So for example, you may hear of someone renting an apartment downtown for only $900 a month but their family has lived in it 10 years or more. If you do run into someone young who lives alone, they may just have a great job and no other expenses so they can afford to pay in upwards of 3K a month for a 1 bedroom apartment or they have roommates or they had it passed down to them from a family member.
We're planning to view the 2009 NYC Marathon at 1st and 96th and then walk over to 5th Ave. If we park East of 1st Ave but want to view the race standing on the West side of 1st Ave we will have to cross 1st Ave which is where the runners will be. Are there approved crossing areas or are spectators allowed to cross the route? If we cannot cross the route, how can we get from the east side of 1st Ave to the west side?|||Yes..you can cross when there is a lull.|||The online spectator guide indicates some places where spectators can move to get around.
You might want to be careful how you plan driving / parking with road closures and rethink your plans.
Some marathons don't flip out if the occasional spectator crosses the route when there's a natural gap. Depending on your timing, however, that may be about like trying to cross in the midst of a cattle stampede. They're generally not going to hold up any runners for you, nor do they facilitate large numbers of spectators crossing the course.
They appear to expect spectators to be using the metro and be on foot. Trying to park east of 1st might not be a smart move.

The job market is just HORRIBLE and I want to start an extremely small catering business, from my home, in NYC. I will probably only serve 1-2 companies a day, at MOST, but it's SOME sort of income. How can I start out? I mean, licenses/tax issue? That's really my only issue here.|||Actually there are more issues that license/tax issues. You will need liability insurance in case someone gets sick after eating something you made. In addition to permits for preparing food and possible inspection of your preparation facilities you will probably need help writing up order forms, a contract to be signed, credit card processing service, marketing materials (brochures, catalog, order forms, etc.)
You will also need to invest in have the proper supplies for displaying your food in an attractive way (plates, silverware, tableclothes, serving dishes, centerpieces, etc) which can be rather expensive upfront costs.
How will you keep the food hot or cold when you deliver it and while it sits on a table. If you don't have a lot of business experience you might find it much less expensive, less time consuming and more profitable to do something else.
Consider signing up as an independent rep or distributor for a company marketing their products. If you love to cook you could do something like being a rep for Pampered chef or one of the companies that sells food mixes like Tastefully Simple or Homemade Gourmet. Or some other company whose products you enjoy.
Most of the companies who use independent reps to market their products have training to help you learn how to run a business including some information about business licenses, taxes and marketing ideas. It would be a much easier and less expensive way to get started with your own business. Most companies have a start-up cost of $100-$200 and you're in business. After a year or two you can apply what you've learned to starting your own catering company if you still want to do that.
Another idea is to do something on the internet like affiliate programs - they are free to sign up and when someone purchases something from your website, blog or squidoo page you earn a referral fee. It does take some work, but no investment or licenses required. Feel free to contact me if you would like information about any of these.|||Not knowing where to start such a business, is unfortunately a virtual guarantee that you will fail at it. My advice would be to actually work at a catering company for a while before ever dreaming of entering such a cut-throat business on your own. Working at one will not only give you all the knowledge you need to move forward, but it will also provide you with insight into dealing with the many pit-falls that you will encounter. I suspect that you will not be quite so anxious to do so afterward.
And as for VERY small, 2 companies a day is NOT small. How were you planning on dealing with 2 companies each wanting corporate lunches at exactly 12:00 noon Friday? How can a work-from-home person be at 2 places at the same time? Who will prepare all the food? Who will deliver it? Who will serve it? Have you considered the home inspection required of your kitchen and facilities, etc, before being granted a license? etc. etc. etc.|||You would have to have a Catering Establishment license to be able to legally open a catering business, and you have to have a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Food Service Establishment Permit first to apply for that.
I do not want to pay the outrageous prices in NYC, yet I still would like a nice apartment that can easily access NYC (via mass transit-- not driving). Where should I be looking for apartments that match this criteria? What mass transit opportunities do they have? Are there any websites that list them?|||Assuming you mean Manhattan... Western Queens is very close via subway but not exactly "cheap".... try: Rego Park, Kew Gardens and areas of Flushing. These are around $1100-1200/month and only 20-30 minutes away by subway. If you can afford a bit more, then you can stay somewhere nicer like Forest Hills or Astoria or even closer neighborhoods like Woodside, Long Island City and Sunnyside which can be as close as 15 minutes away via subway.
There's also Brooklyn, but it's getting quite expensive these days to stay in the more desirable areas.|||=

http://411newyork.org/guide/2007/04/11/n鈥?/a>
http://menupages.com|||...Most of the places in Manhattan with the tastiest food are pretty lax about their dress code. Of all the places I've ever dined in town, pretty much the only ones that require that you 'dress up' are Per Se, Del Posto, and Le Bernadin. Unless you're prepared to spend $500 a person, dressing up is not a prerequisite.
Of course, if the dressing up is the part you're looking forward to, you can still throw on some fancy duds and eat somewhere even if you're a little over-dressed. It's your birthday; do what you want.
I am always a fan of...
Batali's Ottp for delicious pizzas and pastas

I'm planning a trip to NYC for Spring break, and I'm wondering when the best time to reserve my hotel room would be in order to get the best rates and also to ensure that I get a room in the hotel I want? I'm looking at mid-ranged hotels under $300 a night if anyone has some good suggestions.|||My friend works for a hotel. Generally if you are making a reservation on the hotel's site or with the hotel you will not be charged early so that is good but if you are making it on a 3rd party site such as Hotwire, Hotels.com, Expedia, Travelocity, Hotwire ect you will be charged at the time of the reservation.
If money is tight, try to wait. Just know that other people are travelling too and will book it under our nose if you wait too long.|||i have always found expedia.com to be a great place to get motel rooms
i was just in NYC last week (i'm from australia)and stayed at a great motel called the Park South
was great and i recommend it highly but its a bit more than 300 a night|||I'm traveling to New York at Christmas/New Years and found I got the best rates from emailing the hotels directly. The Edison Hotel gave me a fantastic rate and its a good central location. I've booked my accommodation over 6 months in advance and they just asked for my credit card number but nothing will be charged unless I cancel without giving notice.|||My husband and I are going for Christmas and we have reserved a hotel already as the prices are likely to get higher we think. The good thing about reserving a hotel now is that you can cancel it if you find something else which is better later on.
Good luck.|||Use Priceline. Click on the William Shattner link where you make a bid on hotel room in a certain class in a particular area. Usually you will get about 50 percent off the regular rate.
I'm new to NYC from out of state and I'm looking for a good school to go to.

I am a big fan of theater and plays and would like to someday act in an amateur play. Is there someplace in NYC I can go to every once in a while to pursue this?|||All you need to do is find an amateur theater company, or even a non-union professional one, and join. I would recommend trying a class before you just jump on stage though. Gives you a chance to try it out. Plenty of opportunities in New York City.|||Go to HB Studios the classes are not that expensive and there is a lot over actors trying to hone their craft.|||There are acting classes all over the city. As for amateur acting association, the showcases are closest to what you are describing.

How much money does the average model in nyc with a good agenncy make per year? How much would a beginner, an average or a good model make?|||With a good agency about $60k/year if they are average, about $120k if they are successful but not a
"supermodel"
If they are an in-demand runway model who does all of the big shows (Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, etc) they can make $60k just during show season as they are making about $3000-4000/show. An unknown or new face on those same shows might make $300 or be paid in trade (free clothes)
You make the real money if you can get commercial work, catalogs, etc. A national ad campaign might pay $50k for a single day's work - but it takes years to get to that point to make a reputation for yourself
But in any agency, even the top ones, there are going to be models who never book a single job

how much does it cost to have a leather jacket professionally cleaned in nyc? Also, any suggestions about places to go to? The jacket is not terribly dirty or something, it just needs a little cleaning and maybe conditioning.|||All cleaners charge differently. Either call some, ot take it to some and ask.
my daughter and I are going to NYC for 2 weeks, at the beginning of July. ANy suggestions are welcomed. We know the weather is hot and humid, we do not want to look like tourists, we plan to go to Broadway, museums, shopping , etc.|||Well, NYC is NOT unlike any other city. It is also SO BIG and so FULL of TOURISTS and residents that no one is really paying attention to what others are wearing. Unless of course you are Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosario Dawson among others. All whom have been seen strutting their stuff in the SoHo...
So this said, take clothing appropriate for summer humidity. Light materials, light colors. If you are going to Broadway do remember to bring some dressy stuff, perhaps a nice cocktail dress or nice dressy outfit, NOT LONG dresses, but something nice enough to look good. Some theaters may require semi-formal attire so you may want to call ahead. You can always buy what you do not take, after all its NYC and FASHION is their game. Also remember to bring a small sweater. When it rains the temperature does tend to drop, it is the northeast after all. Finally don't get too caught up on worrying what you should or should not be wearing. People in NYC are moving at such a fast pace they have very little time to notice what others are wearing. Unless of course you are the NAKED COWBOY!!! LOL!|||My friend, just wear what pleases you. No one in NYC is going to care about it. It summer and most people would ratter be at the beach than in the concrete jungle of The City.
Good luck|||NYC is usually both hot and humid this time of the year so definitely pack light weight clothes and things that will keep you cool. Really, that's the only main thing to worry about, there are so many different kinds of people in NYC that you will see people dressed all kinds of ways, believe me. The only way you'll really look like a tourist is if you walk around with a huge backpack and a map.
Also make sure to pack a couple of dressy outfits if you will be attending a Broadway show, especially if you go around dinner time. You don't need to dress super formal but usually people try to dress a little nicer than t-shirts and jeans when they go to see a Broadway show.
Lastly, be sure to pack comfortable shoes because you will be doing A LOT of walking (shoes that you can walk in all day without your feet killing you by the end.). Make sure you bring an umbrella too in case of rain.
Does anyone have any tips or know of any books on the subject of growing flowers in NYC (urban settings)?|||If you want tulips or daffodils in the spring, plant the bulbs in November. There are ways to force the bulbs to bloom at other times in the year by refrigerating them into thinking it's spring, but you'll have to follow the instructions pretty close. November is a good time to plant most bulbs in the NYC area.
Go to Amazon.com and search for container gardening or urban gardening and you'll have a huge selection to choose from. Good Luck!|||well, i'd say you better buy plastic plants. it is hard to live in NYC !|||If you have a small yard, you dig a hole in the fall and plant the bulb. Water it regularly. If you don't have a yard, use a pot and store bought potting soil. I'd use one pot per bulb.
I know the cost of living and rent in NYC is high.
I also know that being a bartender is a lucrative job.
I was just wondering is it possible to be able to afford an apartment just on a bartending job in Manhattan.|||It's absolutely possible and probable. It will all depend on the place you are bartending at and how good of a bartender you are. The better the place and the better you are, the better your chances.
Good luck!|||I considered moving to NY also.....I checked craigslist to find someone looking for a roommate. Rent would be much cheaper sharing a place and if you didn't like it or couldn't make enough $$$ to be happy there, you could bail the city after a while and not be tied to a lease|||Obviously there are bartenders living all over NYC, so that is a particularly dumb question.|||well yeah if you are good at it and get pretty good tips and work at a really high class bar then i guess as long as you make a lot of money|||it depends what size...
I'm starting a job in north Jersey but will be living in Manhattan. I'll be making approx $70k annually. What kind of taxes will I be paying? NJ or NY? NYC? Any commuter tax? Any idea of approx how much of the $70k I should expect to pay to the govt annually? Thanks for your help!|||You will have to file both NY (and NYC) & NJ returns.
On your paycheck, you will have NJ withholding (in addition to federal withholdings, medicare, Soc. Sec, among others), you should also consider having your employer withhold NYS/NYC taxes.
The reason being, NYS + NYC are taxed at a higher rate than NJ. Despite the fact you will be receiving a resident credit on your NYS/NYC return on the taxes paid to another state (NJ), you will still likely be short in covering the tax liabilites in NYS/NYC, unless you have a signficant amount of itemized deductions.
On the flip side, if you work in NYC and lives in NJ, generally you wouldn't need to withhold NJ taxes.
By the way, in most cases, you will have to file NYS/NYC resident return and NJ non-resident return.
Your tax rate (using the highest rate group - single filing status assumption):
Soc Sec 6.2%
Med 1.45%
Fed: 25%
NY: 6.85%
NYC: 3.648%
NJ: 5.525%
Note, as mentioned earlier, you will be getting a resident credit from NJ on your NY/NYC return for the taxes paid in Jersey. So, your actual income tax rate on NY/NYC will be lower because of the resident credit.|||You file both NJ and NY tax returns. On the NY return, you add NY state income tax and NY city income tax and subtract a "resident credit". NJ taxes NY residents only on income from NJ sources. NY taxes NY residents on income from all states. The resident credit is either the tax paid to NJ on the income that was taxed by both states or the tax paid to NY on the income that was taxed by both states, whichever is less. (Note that taxes paid on income taxed by only one of the two states is not included in calculating the credit.) Therefore, the total of all tax you pay, after subtracting credits is:
1) For income from the job in NJ that is taxed in both states, you pay either NY or NJ tax, whichever is more. (If NJ is more, you pay only NJ, because the NY credit balances the NY tax; if NY is more, you pay NJ at the NJ rate and then pay NY at the difference between the NY and NJ rates, when you subtract the credit [equal to the NJ tax] from the NY taxes (computed at the NY rate).
2) For income from the job in NJ that is withheld for something and is, for whatever reason, withheld pre-tax for NY tax purposes but withheld after-tax for NJ tax purposes, you pay NJ tax only.
3) For income from all non-NJ sources (interest, dividends, capital gains, alimony, etc.), you pay NY taxes only.
In addition to income taxes, you also pay these taxes:
1) If you commute by car, you also pay whatever taxes are included in the cost of the gasoline, and you pay sales tax on the tires, repairs, etc.
2) If you buy anything in NJ, pay NJ sales tax, and bring it home to NY, you are required to pay an NY use tax equal to the difference between the sales tax that you would have paid if you bought it in NY and the NJ sales tax. If you buy anything in NJ without paying NJ sales tax, and bring it home to NY, you are required to pay an NY use tax to the sales tax that you would have paid if you bought it in NY.
I'm currently living around the NYC area, and I'm a huge WPLJ, KTU, and Z100 fan. However, it looks like I'm going to be moving to Florida. I understand that there are similar stations, but I can't really bring myself to part with them. Is there a way, using XM or Sirius radio, to get these stations while I live far away from the signal? Thanks so much in advance!|||Sirius and XM are prohibited from rebroadcasting over-the-air radio stations. it has to do with how the Arbitron rating system works. Many stations operate a web feed and you can get internet "radios" that look and act like regular radio receivers. The web feed will be slightly different than the air program because Sound Exchange (RIAA) prohibits the play of certain music sets on the internet. Our college station has to switch the internet feed to alternate programs when the air program offends Sound Exchange.|||Most radio stations have a website and will stream their broadcast over that. Even my college station does. It's just like listening to Pandora most times. Certainly hope yours do too.
My budget is $1200/Month and I need a 2 bedroom apartment or condo in a safe area.
Id like to maximize my dollar while getting something as nice as I can.
Id like to have the feeling I am getting a lot of bang for my buck, so to speak.
-Any City or State is fine as long as its less than 2 hours from NYC.|||Well as the person stated above me, new jersey. i would suggest seaside heights (yes, the cast of jersey shore films there, but they really dont cause any problems) i live there, and its very safe. rent is around 1000 a month, its about an hour away from the city, and its a very quiet town. plus theres practicallly a beach in your backyard, a boardwalk, and fun town (fun town is like a mini amusment part on the boardwalk). if you dont want to live here because of the cast of jersey shore (agian, they really dont cause problems, just dont be in clubs with them cuz they may start fights) then some amazing towns are long beach island, belmar, and point plesant (idk how far their away from the city bit its probs less that 2 hours) they are nicer than seaside heights, and their very quiet cute towns.|||New Jersey: Jersey City, Hoboken, Ironbound in Newark, Clifton, the Brunswicks, Edison, etc.
What exactly do you consider safe? I'd recommend starting your search by looking at areas around the PATH train and the Northeast Corridor or Bergen/Main Lines on NJTransit. I would recommend staying close to the trains, otherwise you'll be battling horrible traffic and a wallet-busting toll across the bridges and tunnels.|||It's a tough question. The further out you go, generally the more value you get for your money. You can try Dover or Morristown, or possibly somewhere on the Jersey Shore like Bay Head or Point Pleasant Beach. You can also try areas like Freehold.
I hope this information was very helpful.|||I would recommend Staten Island. Your about a 30 minute drive (depending on traffic) from NYC, or you can take public transportation, express bus gets you to the financial district pretty quickly.|||Possibly Newark NJ, or maybe even in Bloomfield Nj, that is a low budget for an apartment in the tri-state area... What about Pennsylvania then|||definitely try Jersey City. You will have to walk to mass transit, but its less expensive than Hoboken.
My finacee and I are trying to book for a honeymoon in August, and we would like to fly Business Class for under 5K from NYC to Bangok. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!|||The three best airlines are probably Singapore Airlines through Singapore, Cathay Pacific through Hong Kong and Thai Airways which has a non-stop flight to Bangkok from NYC. Thai has special dedicated check-in and great lounges for business class passengers here in Bangkok, Cathay's lounges in Hong Kong may be the world's best and Singapore Airline's service is legendary. I've flown all three and I think you would be happy with any of them. Otherwise, China Airlines and Eva Airways have very good business classes, not as good as the above three, but most likely for less money, and China Airline's safety record isn't the greatest. Singapore and Cathay have both installed new seats in business class, and are probably the best in the business. Good luck and congratulations.|||fly thai air.

I teach lessons and i have my own clients. Where can i find swimming pools in NYC that will allow me to use the pools (for a fee of course) and teach my clients (they are kids, btw). Anyone know anything like this?|||Just use the pool during a public swim session. Unless you intend on renting it out for a few hundred bucks for just your student.
If you wear a tin foil hat then the campground is really the government getting ready to put people in tent cities for the next blackouts or collapse. In the meantime will it bring more people with budgets to NYC for vacation? My brother and I stayed in campgrounds all down the coast of CA and went into the cities at night for play, saved a ton of money.|||Where are these parks Pennsylvania?|||First unlike California where you need to drive everywhere, New York City doesn't have a need for that "Luxury". Second campgrounds are kind of far from New York City itself. I don't think Long island has them. Jersey might and even then it's an hour or more train ride or 45 minute minimum drive. In good traffic.
I'm from New York City and still have a house in Brooklyn. We've had blackouts and even terrorist attack. We're still standing. All 10 million of us.If you wore a tin hat I doubt anyone will notice.
Last I was home tourism looked like it had increased. Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian walk was packed. So hotels haven't gotten cheaper and rents sure as hell haven't dropped significantly. But people seem to be paying it.
That's capitalism and what the market will bear. Just like San Francisco which is more expensive than New York. But people live there.|||A second rate hotel would run about $150.00 night, if you stayed in a tent in a Park near NYC, you would pay with your life......|||The idiot tourists can stay at the Marriott, we don't need them filling up our parks.
I am planning to drive to Denver from NYC next week and I am torn between I-70 and I-80. I have also considered US 50.

I want to apply for a PT medical school but I do not know where to begin. Do you know good schools and easy to get it to that offer physical therapy degree. I am looking for a good one in NYC.|||Generally speaking, PT is not an "easy" program to get into. Typically, programs have a competitive entrance policy...meaning just because you've met the requirements as an undergraduate does not guarantee you will be admitted to the graduate level program. Schools often state a minimum GPA of 3.0 or 2.5, but realistically, students who are admitted have a much higher GPA...typically 3.5 or higher. Furthermore, they have letters of reference, have taken the GRE, may have sat for an interview, etc...whatever the school requires.
However, there are some "direct" admit programs. This means that students are admitted at the freshman level and are allowed to remain in the program through the graduate phase, as long as they maintain the appropriate GPA and course load.
Here is a list of accredited programs in NY...those with the notation "A2" are direct admit programs...the rest are the tradiational competitive entry.

Hi,
I have about 1,000 pounds that I need to get converted into US dollars. I live in NYC. Can anybody recommend a place to get it done? (Something with zero commission and decent rates would be good!). The place at the airport had zero commission, but the rates were pretty bad.
Thanks!|||Chase Bank, American Express or Travelers Worldwide.

You may get a better rate on the "Black Market" (people going to the UK and need to change their money) as the banks will rob you so make sure you go to a Staples Store and buy a $3 security ink pen that can detect fake bills.

Hi - will be moving to NYC the last week of January. Moving from hot West Texas. I'm used to wearing just thick socks and leather boots in cold weather which isn't too often. Can you please recommend what type of shoes I should have handy? Do I really need to buy snowboots from brands like Sorel or what about Wellies? I'm a bit lost as to the conditions, please help me out! Thanks!|||I bought myself a pair of Salomons last year. They're heavenly on a cold day. They're also waterproof, which comes in handy.
Wellies are good for rainy days, but I wouldn't wear them to protect from the cold. That's not what they're intended for.
Whatever you end up buying, please make sure that you get something with a good sole. It can be icy here and you'll want to minimize the amount of times you fall on your butt.|||I would buy the sorels. Or something like them. I personally live in the Northeast (farther north than NYC) and I wear the heavy duty sorels, but they make some that are cuter and still just as warm. They can be expensive (most winter gear is) but they will last you forever. I bought mine probably 10 years ago at this point, and they still work great. You just need to replace the inside lining every once in a while.
Wellies are cute and you might be able to get away with the thick socks, but it has been my experience that your feet will just freeze in those. They are not well insulated at all. And not good if you get caught in a lot of snow.
You could get Uggs as well. I personally think they are ugly and not super practical in a place that gets a lot of snow, but you can winterize them. I just think that with all the salt they put down on sidewalks/the road you will just end up with ruined leather. Ugly to begin with, ruined leather.|||How much money are you planning on spending for boots? $200? $100? $500?
You can buy perfectly good, waterproof and warm totes boots for $35 or $50. If you're going to be living in Manhattan and it actually snows, you're going to be walking around in lots and lots of black, ugly, freezing cold SLUSH for days and days and you won't want to be ruining your expensive boots.
Anyone who run NYC marathon? At the start, You have to take off warming-up jacket/pants. How do you recover them safely? Do you have to go all the way back to Verrazano bridge to look for them? How do you prevent people stealing those expensive apparel?|||with a lot of big city races there are baggage busses where you van drop your kit and pick it up later and the new york marathon might have these thou i don'y know, a check on the website will tell you though.
these work on trust and although are staffed, misyakes happen and kit gets lost.
yje other option that many people do is to wear old stuff at the start which you can lose. this is discarded at the start just before the gun goes. chatities often clear away these discarded clothes to make money for their good causes.
my advice would be to turn up ready to run if it is warm enough, or to wear kit that you van discard at the start rather than risk expensive kit.|||Most major marathons have sweat trucks. You put them in a bag with your bib number written on it. They transport to finish where you pick it up. They should have this on their web site.
We're planning a vacation and I'll have three women with me and we've decided to stay in NJ and venture in to NYC for our day and early evening excursions.
I believe we'll be very close to the Newark airport as far as where we're staying and I'm wondering if someone can give me some ideas of how we can get to NYC, rates, etc?
Thanks!|||You can take the NJ Transit train from Newark Airport to New York. It'll cost you as follows-
Adult One Way $15.00
Child/Senior/Disabled One Way $11.25*
* The Newark Airport Rail Station access fee will no longer be charged for child fares (age 11 and under).
However, if you are closer to Newark Penn Station, you can take the Path train into New York City for $1.75 each way
Newark Penn Station and the station at Newark Airport are both very safe. Just use common sense and don't wait for the train on an empty track at night. :) Good luck!

Hi, Im doing a current events paper and i need more info about the overcrowding of high schools in nyc. i cant find what im looking for on the web. if you go to an extremely overcrowded high school, tell me the name and location of your school. o and wat time is the first lunch? i find that interesting. i no someone who eats lunch at 8:54! early. but i just want to know. THANKS!|||they eat lunch at lunchtime. wanna guess when they eat dinner?
I need to take part in a "religious experience" for my religion class and it has to be one of a religion other than my own (catholic). If anybody has any good suggestions of something unique/fun/interesting please let me know! Literally any religion! I go to school in NYC so I'm looking for something here. Thank you!|||Try visiting Williamsburg or Borough Park, Brooklyn for the Hasidic Jewish religion. Lots of synagogues, and you can see how they live, dress, the traditions, etc..Maybe you can speak to a rabbi and visit a Yeshivah (school) there also. Also, Kings Highway area near the B train line is a good area the view this. A lot of the people speak Yiddish, so there may be a language barrier.
Going to NYC for two weeks and I don't want to look like a tourist and constantly have to be bombarded by people selling stuff and possibly get mugged or something. I've heard that I should only wear black and dark colors. Is this true? Please give me some input. Thanks!|||We New Yorkers wear the same clothes as everyone else. As long as you're not stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to gawk or study a map or take a picture of something, you won't jump out at anyone as a tourist.
I'm sure there are some New Yorkers who wear black and dark colors, but most of us wear whatever colors we like--especially when it's hot out.
Wear what you're comfortable in, especially comfortable shoes/sandals.
Good luck, and have fun!|||My friend, it summer in New York City. Therefore, summer clothes is highly recommend.
Also, you're not going to get mugged in NYC. This city is a lot safer now that it used to be some 20 years ago. You'll be fine.
Good luck|||A red thong.|||wear black...u'll fit right in!
Is new york city a save place to visit for a day i mean i don't wanna be mugged or anthing like that so i wanna know what you people think.|||New York is very safe, but I can't guarantee that you won't be mugged; I can't promise you that a flower pot won't fall on your head or that you won't slip on a banana peel or that you won't be bitten by a dog or that a car won't jump the curb and knock you down. I especially can't assure you that you won't get run over by a food delivery man riding a bicycle on the sidewalk. You are more likely to get knocked over by some idiot jumping on a skateboard than you are to be mugged. I've lived here all my life, have ridden the subway late at night, have been in "bad neighborhoods" by myself and have never been mugged. Act sensibly, don't flash money, don't wear expensive jewelry, don't talk to anyone unless you start the conversation (pickpockets often work in teams - one distracts you by talking to you or falling into you, and the other one steals your belongings). Don't put your purse down - not even for a minute - don't hang your purse up in a bathroom - they wait for you to be "momentarily incapacitated", reach their arm over the door, take your purse and leave. By the time you get yourself together and "decent", they're gone. Don't keep a lot money in your purse - keep it on your person - in a safe front pocket. Don't worry and you'll have a great time.|||Just don't visit in 1978 and you'll be fine.
Seriously, there is so much less street crime these days that you have virtually nothing to worry about. Walk around, go through neighborhoods, the parks, have a blast. There are places to avoid at night, still, but catch a show instead and you'll be fine.|||It's safe. I work in Manhattan, and often pretty late.
I'd stick to the west side, between 5th Ave and 9th Ave.|||There are dangers everywhere, you shouldn't listen to the sterotypes of people getting mugged/killed all the time over here; it's just a matter of you being careful, and mindful of your surroundings. Obviously you don't want to be walking in a remote area, by yourself, at night. Also, make sure you have your bags/purse near you, or visible, at all times...there are thieves everywhere, not just NYC.
I suggest staying around the "touristy" and busy areas, like Times Square...if you don't already know what to do for the day, I suggest checking out citysearch (www.citysearch.com), and look up the activities and areas they suggest, depending on what you are looking for.|||Absolutely! But use common sense too. Just don't advertise yourself as a victim and you won't become one.
Don't dangle your pocketbook, whip out a wallet loaded with cash, keep your wallet in a back pocket or your purse in an open bag, etc.
I would say to be careful on the subways, because there are very skilled TEAMS of pickpockets on almost every subway car. But they are scoping out easy marks. Don't make yourself one, meaning, don't let them see where you have your money and always stay aware of who's around you.
If you have to gawk at the buildings, sit down somewhere first. Then look up. There's no surer sign of tourists than looking up in amazement while you walk. Most native NY'ers walk with head down and at a full speed pace!|||It's really not as bad as people make it out to be. The chances of being mugged are not that high, and practically non-existent in decent neighborhoods. Just avoid going into the South Bronx/Harlem at night, if you're worried. They can get a little bit shady if you're alone.|||There are no guarantees, but NYC is safer than Atlanta, Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, LA, San Fran, Seattle, Boston, Miami.|||New York is the safest big city in the US. I have lived here for 15 years, never been mugged, And that stuff about teams of pickpockets on the subways is total BS.
I live in a really small farming community. I hate it. I have always wanted to live in a big city where there are more people and more opportunities, I am a senior in high school right now. I want to go to college at some point but I don't know where or for what. I want to go to college for liberal arts at first. I have ok grades. I have really good grades in english, history, and art. I have a 90 from science last year but I have poor grades from earth science and biology. Algebra and geometry are not my best courses either. Are there any good colleges in NYC that would even think about accepting me? If not is it really expensive to live in the city? Even in Queens or the Bronx? I really want to go to the city at some point! I just want to know what my chances are. What are some other good city colleges? It doesn't have to be in NYC! I also like Florida and California!|||I suggest that you go to NYC (or wherever you decide you might wanna live and go to school) and visit all the colleges and universities there...you'll have to do your online research about that one. Spend at least a week in one spot to get a feel for it. Check out Craigslist housing

Planning your visit before you get there is a great idea. At least you can make your top choices and go for it.
If a neighbor calls the police because of marijuana smell, can a police officer first enter your home and second can they then place you under arrest? This is in NYC.|||Yes they can if the SEE something when you answer the door. Otherwise then can not enter your home without a warrant to search or a warrant for arrest. If the police come to your door, step outside your house and shut the door behind you. If they ask to search ask them if they have a warrant to search, ALWAYS ASK FOR A WARRANT!!, this only applies to your home though, it does not apply to your vehicle.|||In NYC, possession of and smoking marijuana is illegal.
If your neighbor calls the police, they can come investigate. They can't enter without your permission, without a warrant, without an emergency situation, or without probable cause.
In the case you describe, the officers who investigate the call would come to your door. If they smell marijuana, they have probable cause to enter. If they find marijuana in plain sight at that point, they can arrest you, but not on smell alone.
Your best bet would be to simply not answer the door to the police in the first place. You have no legal obligation to answer the door at all to anyone, so use that right. If the door is closed, there is a less likelihood that they can smell it from outside. If they can't smell, they have no probable cause and they can't come in without permission.|||Yes. The courts have already ruled that a person has NO reasonable expectation of privacy with regards to smells.
If the officer smells marijuana, that provides them with probable cause to search the residence, and possibly, depending upon what is found (the evidence found would have to support an arrest), arrest the people in there.|||They cannot search your home without a warrant, or some firsthand evidence that a crime is being or has been committed. If a neighbor calls the police and says they smell marijuana, that's not probable cause, because the smoke could come from anywhere. Now, if the police knock on your door to ask if you've smelled something, and you answer with bloodshot eyes, and they get a big old cloud of marijuana smoke rolling out into the hall, that *might* count for probable cause :) So, in that case, *could* they? Yeah, they might could. *Would* they? Really, really unlikely, unless you give them some reason for wanting to give you a hard time, like being rude, loud or aggressive.
If you want to take this to the extreme, we can do so. In the unlikely event the police ask to enter your home, you are well within your rights to politely (and repeatedly) refuse, with no other explanation than that you would prefer not to have visitors. What often happens is officers discover physical evidence (weed and paraphernalia, not smoke) not by "probable cause", but by simply asking to come in, or even look around, and the tenant being too afraid to appear guilty by refusing. A perfectly natural refusal to let strangers, even policemen, into your home , cannot be construed itself as probable cause, and the protection of the private residence under the Fourth Amendment is pretty stridently defended. For that reason, truly, unless it's a really slow night, or there are multiple or repeated complaints, along with loud music and noise, it's unlikely someone will come out and get that aggressive.
Now if you have a neighbor who is bothered by smoke, for the sake of your neighbor's comfort (and that of guests, and the general atmosphere of your home) it might be nice for you to invest in a filtering ashtray, or a filtering fan that can clear the air of any kind of smoke, like cigars, cigarettes, or smoke from the oven making brownies. :) I'm pre-asthmatic myself, and have been very grateful to friends who turn on the filter when I visit.|||Yeah, anywhere anything is illegal. If an officer observes someone he believes is a minor drinking alcohol in their own home he can go in and make sure they aren't because that's probable cause. If a crime is being committed he enter your home and he can arrest you.|||If the officer can verify that the smell is coming from your apartment, that constitutes just cause and can legally search your home.
Yes, you could be arrested.
I am in the very early stages of planning a tour guide company that offers themed tours throughout NYC. Any lawyers or insurance people out there? Any idea what kind of insurance I'd need. I'll have a fleet of 15-20 bikes, everyone wearing helmets and operating mainly in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Thanks!|||You are going to have to contact a local insurance broker in your area. The property coverage, the coverage for the bicycles, won't be big problem however the liability exposure of taking people on a bicycle tour of a busy, major metropolitan city is HUGE. No standard insurer is going to look at this (forget State Farm), so you're going to need the services of an insurance broker.|||Talk to your local State Farm agent about the requirements for starting a Business Liability policy. You can have your bikes insured through them if you let them know how you are going to be using the bikes, how many there are, and how much they cost (each one). From there, someone will walk you through the rest of it.
Just be ready and have some paperwork ready. Most insurance companies get very picky about exactly how and why you'll be using your equipment.
Hope this helps!|||Like in your situation,I would like to advise you have a look here http://www.InsuranceFreeTip.info/insurance-for-free.htm
Soon I want to go to NYC with my parents, and we are looking for a hotel. As hotels (and parking) are so expensive in the city, someone told me we should find a hotel in Newark instead. Is that practicable if you are planning to do sightseeing every day? How long does the train ride into NYC take and do the trains go all day (so that we are flexible with the times)? Can anyone recommend a good, not too expensive hotel?|||If you guys don`t care about your accommodations, and just want something clean and simple, why don`t you stay in a hostel right in manhattan? My friends and I always stay at The Big Apple Hostel right in Times Square (45th and Broadway). It's only $37/night per person, and you're right in the thick of things. It's clean, and functional with private rooms and 4 bathrooms to a floor. It also has a nice common area, and patio out back. You won't really be spending much time in the hostel anyways, and by staying here, you'll save so much on cabs, or so much time not having to take subways back into the city.
I'm going there for the 6th time this weekend and can't wait! Trust me, you will love it! If you have any questions, feel free to message me! :)|||It gets the job done , but why don't you stay in Brooklyn or Queens, the prices are comparable to Newark. With a weekly metrocard you can go all over NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx) Staying in NJ you will need a metrocard plus add the trip from NJ to NY. You also don't really get the NYC feeling. I will suggest not to stay in NJ and stay in NYC(Brooklyn, Queens|||yeah that is a good idea actually you will be saving a whole lot of money! newark is close to the george washington bridge which is the bridge to get into manhattan. its pretty close. i no this because i go from manhatten into to new jersey to visit family. newark is really close and practicable.|||no, it's not practical to stay in Newark, because Newark isn't really that close to NYC. for me, close would have to be right across the Hudson, and anything beyond that is too far. you would be spending at least 30 minutes each way, and you won't have the flexibility of having an open schedule, since you'd always be thinking about "catching the last train". also, if you stayed in Manhattan, or even within subway distance, like in Brooklyn or Queens, you could always decide to go back to the hotel to rest and then go out again later. it's much better to do this if you could even walk to the hotel. remember also that in the current economic downturn hotel rates in NYC have been dropping like flies, and you can get great deals now if you look hard enough.
and to the poster who recommended going over the George Washington Bridge to get to Newark, this makes no sense at all since you would be going in the opposite direction. Newark is closest to the Holland Tunnel, but even from there it is still about 10 miles west into New Jersey.
even if you have to pay a little more, stay in Manhattan. you won't regret it. it's worth the convenience.|||This is a very good idea economic wise. A lot of travelers, who choose not to stay in the City, stayed in Newark an took the train into the City.
Now, the trip to and from NYC by commuter train can take anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes if you're staying at a hotel near Newark Airport. If you staying at hotel in downtown Newark, the trip is a lot short (about 5 to 10 minutes), plus you have a the choice to take either NJ Transit or the PATH train.
Depending on your budget, may I recommend the link below.
Good luck

We are very young but have been playing music for years. I think that in the music industry, many venues will not accept us simply because of our age. Are there any venues in NYC or the surrounding area that will take us regardless of our age?|||I sincerely doubt it, you'd be way too big of a liability to the club. Looks like you're stuck playing basements for a few more years, but that's not such a bad thing anyway.|||I don't live in NYC, so I don't know.
I imagine there may be some, especially if you're good.
The guys in Crooked X are pretty young, the vocalist is like 13, or 14.
You could start a band page on myspace and some venues will probably contact you.
My "band" got contacted by one of the local bars that always has some kind of show going on, and we weren't even a real band, and we were probably 14 or 15 around that time.
You can also do a show at a house too, just invite a bunch of people from school.|||Depending on your style, and whether you can bring an audience, these venues may book an afternoon show for you:
Cake Shop (http://www.cake-shop.com)
Jalopy Theater (http://www.jalopy.biz)
Sidewalk Cafe (http://www.sidewalkmusic.net)
Find other young bands and look through their past/upcoming shows to find possible venues. Care Bears On Fire & Tiny Masters of Today come to mind, but they've probably moved on to venues that are out of your reach simply because of the draw they can offer.
...and who said you need a typical venue? A park bandshell, a friends house, garage, etc.. any place you get people together and have a show is a venue. It may not feel as glamorous, but it's just as significant. Even among bands over 18, there are plenty who prefer to set up shows outside of typical venues.
Whether you're 14 or 40, booking shows isn't easy. All of these tips are just starting points. You'll always have to keep your ears open, ask questions, and generally be ready to do a lot of work.|||On the street, subways, in a mall, and to be honest....if you're good enough, most venues will take you regardless of your age. Just look at the Jonas Brothers or that crazy Cyrus girl.
ALSO, what are the top school for school counseling in nyc?|||A little paradoxical that you need counseling on higher education, to become a counselor of higher education. :)
Have you tried Princeton Review? Otherwise talk to an adviser at your school.|||Have you tried google? It is a magical website that allows you to search for stuff...
Why don't you try it?
I want to ship some boxes, app. 50-60 kilos to Europe Bulgaria from NYC. However I cannot find anything decently priced.|||I just sent 12 big boxes from LV, NV to Budapest, Hungary.
I used a co. called Dove shipping, the price was very good from the US to the EU but watch out, the EU adds allot of BS, I am getting ready to see the customs agents today in a couple of minutes and they are real jerks, seems like they have sent us all over the place and asked for many documents about how lone we lived in the Us ect. needed prove of old address ect. Almost like the "good old days" of communism. They seem to get off by causing stress. We have had to pay over $100. to the storage co. here in Hungary just for a paper to show customs, if customs doesn't sign the paper for any reason, we are out the cash.
I think if I cold have a redo, I would rather jst pay extra for more suitcases and go home for a visit to pick up anything extra. Don't send anything unless you are willing to put yourself under the gun.
Much info is not shown over the inernet, you find out the hard way once your stuff is in route.
We were able to have our boxes finally delivered to our flat yesterday but we cannot open themup until customs comes to our place and overseas the opening or they may pull more BS and fines on us.Not worth the trouble, you can buy overseas anything you need, even if it costs a bit more it worth the peace of mind, almost thought my husband would have a heart attack on Friday after seeing the customs agents, real jerks!!
We have spent already over $457.05 just for our stuff being put in and out of the storage unit and we only paid $700. for the trip from Vegas to Budapest, the money meter is still ticking...
I'm planning on taking a 10-day trip to NYC in exactly one year. How much money would I need to save besides plane and hostel costs? I'm not much of a shopper, I'd mostly do the museums and that kind of stuff. Also, any tips for saving money on my trip?|||I lived in New York City for 42 years and base on the prices now you should have at least $150. - $250. per day ( doesn't include hotel which runs about $200. per night and up ). Here are some examples of prices .
Statue of Liberty - $10.
Metropolitan Museum of Art - $15.
Rose Center for Earth & Space -$10. , Space Show - $22.
United Nation - $11.50
Intrepid Museum - $17.50

GOOD NEWS !! there is no tax on clothes and shoes .|||2500 to be safe and keep only a little more than what you plan to spend that day with you just in case|||I would say about $300 if you are going to use the money to buy some gifts, use for transportation (maybe a taxi or subway), eating/drinking, musemums, and such.|||about 1000|||2k|||I am from there but moved away a few years ago, my girlfriend and I went back for a few days and brought $1000 and we did the sightseeing deal and some shopping since she's never been there and even still we came home with money. For 10 days though, I'd say at least $1000.|||Ride the subway, but never alone.
Don't carry cash.
Spend time planning your meals. Dining in NYC is expensive.|||you at least need $600 dollars because i live in NYC and trust me its not cheap because when i go shopping and to museums and i spend a lot of money okay so be prepared and I'm in college so i spend a lot of money lol|||If you have three meals a day at a neiborhood deli or diner, be prepared to spend about $35 dollars, give or take depending on what you eat; this would be for a regular meal each time, not including tip. To save money, buy most of your food to have at your hostel; luncheon meat, bread, soup, breakfast bars, etc.
Museums, etc., I suggest that you get a book with attractions that you may want to see contained in it; a AAA book, for example. This will have listings of all types of things, and usually prices for admission, etc.
Transpotation, use the subway and buses. Buy the day passes, it will save you time and money. Taxis can be expensive.
Use a credit card if you can so you do not have too much cash on you, or use travellers checks.
If you wish to see a Broadway show, try to get your tickets at the "ticket booth" in the middle of Times Square, you can usually get them 1/2 price.
I would estimate about $100 a day.
I would do these things to plan your costs beforehand, and base it better on what you want to do. Hope this helps.|||I would take as much as I could possibly save. Put it on a Visa/Mastercard that way there you can't lose it and if you don't spend it all, you will still have it.|||ummm i heard it was pretty expensive to be out there so you should save some muuuula! saving tips?: i don't have any but good luck on your trip to the big city!|||I lot of money. You will be taking cabs, food and drinks are expensive, but you'll have lots of fund.|||I would say about 5000 maybe a couple extra grand just to be on the safe side.

Look for coupons so you can save money on tickets for shows etc.|||You are going to need about $1,000 for ten days. Vacations arn't cheap and Ney York is not a cheap city.|||All I can say is take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry.

For 10 days, I'm sure $1,000 would get you plenty of fun and memorable experiences. MOMA and the MET are tops $15, although the MET used to accept any money as donations. Also you should check out The Whitney Museun, the Guggenheimer Museum, and lots of smaller museums including one in Harlem. If you go to SOHO you could check out the Art Galleries where paintings are for sale. Same holds true for the Galleries on 57th Street. If your taste tends to be avant garde modern painting by yet to be famous artists, try the East Village around Second Avenue. Or the West Village around Jane Street. These sites are only drops in the bucket as far as art in New York City is concerned. Afterall, it's one of the three or four art capitals of the world. Also I'm a New Yorker.|||A lot and then some more

I'm planning on leaving NYC to visit Washington DC this weekend. I would leave around 7pm on Friday the 5th and return home on Sunday some time.

I mean, Fifth Avenue in Midtown is the home of Tiffany's and Henri Bendel's and Bergdorf Goodman, and Brooks Brothers, and Cartier, and Fortunoff and Harry Winston, etc., etc., etc., and many, many other very high-end designer stores for the very wealthy, and even the few department stores on Fifth Avenue are really more for the wealthy matron set rather than for teens.
I would suggest that you head over to Macy's Herald Square, one of the largest stores in the world, and explore it and the street that it's located on, 34th Street, between 5th and 7th Avenues.

What portion of the NYC protesters actually have a clue what they're protesting?|||The leaders of the group who have been financed by unions and liberals like George Soros.|||it's like Woodstock without the music concerts|||22.3%.|||None of them. They were all hired by George Soros.|||With some of them being questioned today.
Clueless is to kind of a word.
My family and I (2 adults; 2 children 8;9) are traveling in April 2010 from Orlando to NYC - need to the cheapest way to get there, and preferably a fairly quick method. If possible we need to fly to JFK where our international flight departs from. Our budget is very tight - so any suggestions are welcome!|||If you're flying out of JFK on an international flight you will need to fly into JFK from Orlando, unless you plan on driving all the way to JFK, finding a place to park, plus paying for parking, making sure you get to the airport on time, paying for a hotel if necessary, etc ... it will be much cheaper to take a flight from Orlando into JFK.
If you have already booked a flight out of JFK to your international destination, you should check to see if you can get a flight from Orlando to JFK with one of the airline's alliance members, which can save you money and help you out in the event that your Orlando-JFK flight gets delayed and you miss the international flight. If it's a U.S. airline, simply book a flight with the same U.S. airline from Orlando to JFK.
Airlines with direct flights from Orlando to JFK are ...
- JetBlue (this is a low cost airline, use them if possible)
- American
- Delta
Any other airline will involve a connection in another U.S. city before arrival at JFK.|||well i would highly recommend an airline where you can book for $69.00 per person like southwest. the last time i traveled from NYC to Orlando i flew with southwest and i paid $69.00. you will save a lot and who knows you might hire a limousine with the money saved for your pick up from the airport to the city. it would be a treat!!!!
We are planning a 5 days trip to NYC in November, and we are taking our 3 month old baby. We would like to know what the best way to handle feedings and diaper changes while outside the hotel. We will be in the Manhattan area all the time. THANK YOU!|||If you are breast feeding you can nurse the baby almost anywhere. Just cover yourself with a nice large scarf or maybe one of those fake pashmina shawls ($5 from one of the st vendors) Most Starbucks and McDonalds do have public restrooms some even with the diaper changing stations. Make sure that you have a baby pack that your husband enjoys wearing so that he can carry the baby around. Sometimes navigating a stroller gets difficult. Don't forget to wear very comfortable shoes. Do purchase an all day Metro Pass for the buses and subways. Try taking the bus down fifth ave from around 59 st to the village (8th st) better than taking a tour bus with a blabby tour guide.
Enjoy|||Great place to visit. NYC never slows down, so I would suggest that whenever you stop to use the water facilities and eat do the same for your baby. By now mom, you pretty much know your baby's inner clock so you will know when to stop and pay your baby a little more attention. Also, when your baby gets a little agitated or cries a little she/he will let you know it's time for something. Have fun, NYC rocks!|||New York is definitely kid friendly. Families visiting New York City have so many options for eating, it can be overwhelming. There's no reason to dine at a chain restaurant you can find at home when you're in New York City with so many great places that can easily accommodate children. Dim Sum and Pizza are great choices for families, but you can also try out any of these restaurants for a meal that will please parents and kids alike. And whenever you need a break you can go to Toys r us, any toy stores, or McDonald's, because they all have bathrooms w/changing tables and facilites.
If you're looking for a hotel in New York near Manhattan you can go to Scoobit.com, the hotel search engine at http://www.scoobit.com Switch the language to English, then fill the form with New York, Manhattan and click on "Search hotel". We went to the hotel on the right in the second row: nice and clean place, loving it, but feel free to choose the hotel that best fits your needs. Scoobit.com is a safe website I've used many times so far, and you can book on line. Have a great time.|||If you are flying you can pack lightly. You can buy everything you need for baby just about anywhere here. From formula to diapers to wipes. There's a Duane Reade or major retail chains all over the city. If you are staying in NYC you will find that all the kid friendly places have bathrooms w/changing tables. Go to Toys r us, or any toy stores, kmart, McDonald's, etc. You will see alot of people w/strollers or baby carriers, both work. Just keep baby bundled up because it's cold in the winter here. Have fun & take lots of pics. Good luck!!!
We are planning on taking our outdoor pictures in April 2009? Yes, it is three months away. And we want to make sure the places we are planning on going do not require a city permit in NYC?|||Do you have a photographer yet? Most photographers know the places you can go in advance and will talk to you about the style of photos you want and then work their magic...but you have to make sure to get a great photographer who does this!!!
If you are still looking for a wedding photographer, I know one who is really just incredible. She did my wedding and the pictures were AMAZING! www.noeyehasseen.com Every time i post of any wedding or engagement boards, i just have to recommend her
My husband and son are going to NYC at the end of June and they're looking at staying in Newark because it's cheaper than NYC, though NYC isn't out of their options. A hotel I found in Newark has a free shuttle to the airport, but then you have to take the train to NYC. Does anyone know the cost of this, because if transportation is going to be higher, they might as well just stay in the city. Thanks!|||Watch out. From Newark Penn Station it's $4, but from Newark Airport (separate station on the same train line) it's $15. They supposedly charge extra to cover the cost of building that relatively new train station and the intra-airport monorail (but one could also say it's easier politically to soak tourists than commuters). If you are relying on a shuttle bus to the airport, followed by the monorail to the NJ Transit train station, followed by a $15 train ride in, that could get really annoying.|||Do not stay in Newark. Pay the extra money and stay in Manhattan.
The time you spend commuting back and forth is not worth it. You've been warned.|||Newark Penn Station to New York Penn Station on NJ Transit is $4.00 each way peak.
Newark Penn Station to the World Trade Center site via PATH is $1.75 each way.|||you can get a round trip tickets on off peak hrs (not rush hour)for less then $10 each,
I just found out NYSE is closed to visitors. The FED building seems like a good idea. Any of other suggestions? Any NYC tours available for this?
This is for a group of 40 high school students by the way.|||You're correct, NYSE no longer conducts tours of its facility. Its has been so since 9/11. As for the Federal Reserve, according to their website, they do conduct tours. However, you will have to make reservation to do so.
Individuals and small groups are advised to contact the New York Fed at least one month in advance to schedule a tour. Groups of more than 10 should contact at least three months in advance.
Please note, the New York Fed may close to the public at any time if heightened security is warranted. For infomration it is advisable you contact its Public Affairs Department at (212) 720-6130.

We are planning on visiting NYC. The hotels in Newark are about 10-20 dollars cheaper than Long Island. The four of us want to see NYC, and would it be cheaper for us to commute from Long Island or Newark? |||Jersey is always cheaper. But try this
Take Newark to NYC and go to njtransit.com the commuter railroad
take the city on Long Island and go to NY PEnn Station and use either longislandrailroad.com or mta.com and see what the daily off peak rate would be for travel.
Jersey food and all the other stuff is cheaper. No sales tax on food in NJ. |||Commute from Newark: New Jersey Transit's more dependable and very few, if any delays.
LIRR: more delays compared to NJT.|||Cheaper: Newark
Safer: Long Island
Shorter Commute: Newark
More frequent trains: Newark
|||Newark
But Newark is also ALOT less safe than Long Island, there are parts of Newark that you cant really be in after dark, cuz its too dangerous. |||It's faster and cheaper from Newark. If you stay in and around your hotel in Newark, you should be fine for safety.
I have thought of a good idea and did some surveys with the food I've made and received some positive thoughts (approx 100 people). It's going to be a fusion Asian cuisine. Would 250K (no debt, just cash) be enough to start one in NYC (assuming that its expensive rents etc). I'd like to start this restaurant around the business areas.|||Yes or no. It depends on how big, how fancy as much as anything else. The only answer to your question lies in a business plan that details everything from food costs to staffing levels and design expeditures Keep in mind that you may not turn a profit for the first few months and that build out usually takes at least twice as long and twice as much money as planned.
I'm currently working to get my GED, and was wondering what type of jobs I can currently work to afford living in NYC. Bad neighborhoods included, as long as it is affordable. Even some job reccomendations when I get my GED would be nice. Any job working class that can make it possible to live in NYC is appreciated.|||Last I heard the types of jobs you would require were few and far between...government jobs (public works, construction, ect...) and jobs at or near the airport (airport security is in high demand). Those jobs would pay decent $$$ for your qualifications, but like I said there are alot of uneducated people lining up for them...good luck.|||A job as a waiter is a good way to make a living. At the right restaurant one can make good money on tips. Plus a lot of your tip money is tax free if you choose not to declare all the money to the IRS. But on this check with other waiters to find out what you can get away with. Also check the help wanted ADs and you will get a good idea whats available and what jobs are paying. Then check to see how much rents are and you will have a good idea of what is required. Good Luck and continue with your education for the future.
I was planning on going to Serendipity3 during my trip to NYC next week, until I found out it was closed because of a rat infestation! Does anyone know any nice, teen friendly, inexpensive, and informal restaurants in NYC? Something out of the ordinary, not just your average Olive Garden or Applebee's. Thanks!|||Jillian,
Pizza is always a hit. John's Pizzeria on 44th St is right off Times Square and housed within the cavernous atmosphere of a former theater. It's loud and hectic and touristy, but pretty exciting for a teen. You could also try John's on Bleecker St (in the Village) or Lombardi's (in Little Italy), or even Grimaldi's (in Brooklyn underneath the Brooklyn Bridge) for more old-school, small-scale New York atmosphere (although all get crowded).
Right next door to John's (44th) is Carmine's, a family-style Italian restaurant with a long-standing reputation and a similar atmosphere to John's.
If the weather's nice, consider strolling down to Madison Square Park (at 23rd & 5th) and stopping by the Shake Shack. This is an "upscale" gourmet burger & milkshake stand run by a well-regarded New York restauranteer that's nestled down right in the middle of the park. It's something of a phenomenon in this city and provides great (outdoor) atmosphere. The lines can get really long here, so be wary of the lunch hour rush if you can help it.|||I believe that Serendipity 3 opened up again. It closed in Nov. 2007, and reopened Dec. 2007.|||Mcdonalds
Well I made it thru my first NYC winter. I'm really excited for Spring. When do the trees start to show signs of life again?|||This was one hard winter by the looks of last years temperatures, but march has been mild for the entire east coast. usually the cherry trees have a tendency to bloom in january in areas of the mid atlantic and a freeze finishes those until spring.
First to bloom are the...
dafodills/tulips ect.. - proably already coming up. they will probably bloom in 2 weeks maybe 3 if cold weather filters in.
then..
magnolias
usually bloom intime for the last week of march maybe first week of april. in full bloom by mid april.
then.
southern magnoilas- the evergreen form and will bloom early to mid april
then
camellias- first week of april but the bloom are few if the winter is cold.
then
pears and most other street trees- full bloom by mid march with all leaves by the 1st week in may. maybe 2nd before every flower falls off.
by spring break mid april it will be spring in the mid atlantic including the big apple.
good luck|||Look closely - you will see some life already, very small buds at the tip

Me and my 2 friends are going to go to NYC this October, I've been assigned with the bulk of the planning.. and I'm having trouble with where to stay.
We are on a tight budget, so we don't want to splurge on the hotel, it is becoming clear that a Hostel will probably be the way to go.
Any suggestions? We want something safe of course, any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!|||While I can't help you with personal experience with Hostels, I can get you pointed in the right direction. First here is how to find NYC hostels: http://www.hostels.com/us.ny.ny.html
And then I highly recommend looking the ones that you can afford and interest you on TripAdvisor.com - you'll get honest reviews from real people on there. For example, you'll see that the Chelsea Center Hostel rates pretty well: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g60763鈥?/a>
Good luck!!|||Check the list at http://www.hostelio.com/usa/new-york-city/
It sorts hostels with price ascending. Also pay attention to the ratings...
I usually try to find the lowest price with highest rating...|||The YMCA's have guest rooms. Some have private restrooms and you can use their gym facilities.

I am traveling to NYC this weekend and want to get my girlfriend a nice present. Actually, she will be my fiance in about a week, so is there something I could get her from NYC and hold it until I propose to her next week? She already said, don't get me a ripoff Coach purse or anything like that.|||wow your gf is a critic. get her electronics like cameras, iphones, ipad. you know, somebody researched and found out that women likes electronics more than jewelry! good luck with the proposal!|||so get her a kick *** coach purse|||How about a 'Mink Naval Brush'?|||oh man, congrats to you, and good luck.
First off, if you have the money, it'd extremely expensive but you could get her some jewelry from Tiffany & Co. on 5th Avenue; but it'll be extremely expensive. It's one of the most well known jewelers in the world and is known for its expense-i'd guarantee you she'd love something from there. It's really the only thing i can really think of off the top of my head, unless you're filthy rich and then buy her a Mink Coat lol.
But the city is known for its clothing and jewelry-if you look in the right place. If you've never been to the city before, avoid all street vendors-they sell nothing but cheap ripoff products-so just ignore them.
i mean, there's consumer electronic products you can buy-but you can find those anywhere (digi cams, GPS's, cell phones, iPods, etc), so i'd say something like Tiffany & Co. might be better as those stores are harder to find and she ought to recognize that company and probably freak out (in a good way) knowing you bought something for her from there. -Plus i think jewelry is always something a girl likes to get and appreciates getting.
i know this isn't much to go off of, but i hope i helped..
My husband and I are moving to NYC, but we're not sure what neighborhood to go for. My husband is a musician, and I'm an actor. Of course we've been told Williamsburg and Astoria, but are those really the best two options for us? We're not really the hipster type, but if that's where the action is, we can stomach it. We'd need a pretty affordable place, and we don't need anything lavish, just decently safe. Help!|||In Manhattan of course where Broadway is|||If you are looking for affordable which is a nicer word for cheap, then Williamsburg and Astoria are not for you; they are expensive. It used to be filled with musicians and artists but most have been priced out and now live in Bushwick. While many still live in Willyburg, they live with mad roomates.
But you can see the prices on craigslist to get an idea of prices in williamsburg & astoria. These 2 areas are highly favorable due their proximity to Manhattan. Thus causing high rents, condo construction left and right etc.
I recommend Bushwick, while its not cute, there is a large arts community flourishing there. Loads of hipsters, artists, musicians, but it sketchy at night. No area is 100% safe, you just need to be street smart. Dont flash expensive cells, money, take cabs late at night, dont walk around odd hours etc.
good luck|||Astoria would be a good neighborhood. It is a working class neighborhood with many stores and shops as well you can get to Manhattan in less than an hour by subway (N and Q) trains to your destination.|||anywhere you can find a reasonable rent take it grab it and enjoy your stay in the city no where else.
My best friend and I are visiting NYC for the first time the first week of December. I have lived in South Florida my entire life and have never traveled to cold weather. What shoes do you recommend(I am planning on taking sneakers for walking and some boots for the night)? How many jackets and sweaters should I pack? Do you recommend buying a winter coat or would a really simple leather jacket and layering sweaters be enough?|||I recommend that you buy a down jacket or a winter coat. Especially since you are not used to cold weather. Don't forget warm gloves, a scarf, a hat. Bring warm underwear if you have any - you know, leggings to wear under you pants or someting like that.
I'm not so convinced of the "sneakers". You need shoes that are large enough so you can fit in two or three pairs of socks, and they also need a profile, because you will probably find snow and ice. That's why I'm not so convinced of the sneakers. You'll probably just slip on the snow/ice because the sole doesn't have any profile.
Pack two or three warm sweaters, and a couple of long-sleeved shirts to wear underneath.
I remember being in New York in December, and it was so cold! You know, there is nothing to break the wind, because all the houses are aligned in squares. So there's just this cold wind blasting through the streets.|||Cold. I'm from NYC, and winters are beyond freezing.
Think jeans, sweaters, a down coat. Since it's December, I'm going to go on the assumption that there WILL be snow. I would not wear sneakers. The city gets disgusting with snow due to all the city buses, and high traffic. It's dirty, wet, slushy, and you can find yourself stepping in deep puddles of ice water, and at that point, no sneaker is going to save your foot.
Think, UGGS. Or something very similar...a tall boot which will go OVER your pants. Tuck the jeans into the boot.
Ear muffs, scarves and gloves are also things which are a MUST. The wind gets brutal in the city and you'll find that your nose, ears, and tips of fingers get extremely cold, to the point of burning, and severe uncomfort.
Definitely buy a winter coat. Definitely bring weather resistant snow boots. Even in sneakers you'll find that your toes will freeze. Heavy socks are a must.
Bring all the sweaters and long sleeved shirts you can pack.
Does anyone know of any reputable print modeling agencies in NYC? Im 14 and looking to start. Not too expensive. Also looking for maybe commerical and tv? Thanks everyone!|||Check out www.newmodels.com for information on how the Modeling industry works. This is not an agency or school website. It is an independent site written by an industry professional who doesn't want people to be scammed. The more you know, the better choices you can make about whether you want to do modeling or not, and how to start.
Also, since you are so young & a minor, I recommend your parents read the site too so they can help you. :) good luck!|||No agency is expensive - legitimate agencies don't charge anything out of pocket. They should only make money after you get booked on a job, then they take their commission
CESD, Abrams, FFT, Bella, Flaunt, Rick Miller and Lauren Green are all big commercial print agencies in NYC. Since you are under 18 your parents will have to bring you to open calls or send in your pictures

I am moving to queens and now i have a job in NYC, i will starting in Jan 07 and I am not able to figure out what type of shoes should i buy for my first winter in NYC. I will be commuting from forest hills to NYC.. there is atleat 15 min walk involved.. can someone please give me some tips as to what do they do, do you carry professional shoes with you and where snow boots or what?|||i have comfy snow boots, waterproof with a good tread.
i live in a neighborhood that is the last place in all of the 5 bouroughs to be plowed. you have to be careful of those icy sidewalks. and you will want to be able to tuck your pants into them so that the bottoms of them dont get wet. nothing worse than wet feet and pants in the winter! just carry your nice shoes for when you reach work.
and make sure they are WARM!|||thank you Report Abuse
|||I'd wear sneakers and keep some office shoes at the office. 15 minutes of walking in office shoes would suck.|||Boots if you are female. Loafers and athletic shoes if you are a dude. You can get athletic shoes that look OK for a casual office.|||something which is very comfortable..i work there too..and i always wear flat shoes and carry my dress shoes in my bag..u have a lot to walk in NYC|||suits and ties lean towards a tailored dress shoe. business casual types go for a casual shoe like loafers. heavier boots aren't used until snowfall, unless you like timbs for an urban look. the ankle boot is also popular, and makes a good transition from dress shoe to cold weather boot. i agree you should commute with a comfortable shoe and leave your dress shoes at the office or carry them with you. i do b/c the trains get packed and i want to be ready for anything :-) the great thing about NYC is there are so many different styles its hard to say the norm, so you're free to create your own.|||Bring your worker shoes...and put them in a bag.

I am looking at moving to NYC and was just wondering what areas are the best to have a skyline view of the city? I have been looking at Brooklyn, thats where my family is from. My rent range would be from 0-3000 a month.|||There are some really awesome views from Long Island City...which is obviously in Queens, but a very short trip from Brooklyn.
In Brooklyn, there are some new buildings with views in Williamsburg -- likely to run you near the top of the cited rent range. Then, as others have mentioned, there's the Brooklyn Heights promenade area, also expensive.
It really depends on why view is so important to you, exactly what you want a view of, and whether you really want to pay twice the rent in exchange for a better view. I've been in apartments on the southern end of Park Slope, miles inland into Brooklyn, with perfectly angled windows and unobstructed views of the Empire State Building and/or Statue of Liberty at a distance.|||Roosevelt Island is also a good place to consider. The views are farther uptown (the UN, the 59th St Bridge, etc) but it's very nice and quiet there too. Report Abuse
|||Excellent view from the other side of the Hudson -- Jersey City. Great new rentals and condos have gone up. Amazing views and prices are more reasonable than Brooklyn.|||Anywhere close to the brooklyn promenade whick overlooks lower Manhattan.
I live in a good neighborhood of NYC, upper west side. Rats come out and pick at garbage left for pick up, but eat it inside engines of cars parked in the street. Sometimes they build nests.
We have tried moth balls, disinfectant sprays, without success. If you set traps in the engines, the rats do great damage.
Any suggestions?|||Talk to an exterminator. You don't want to use rat poison as a cat or a dog could get into it. The exterminator should have some suggestions. Even moving your car every day, the rats could build a nest overnight. Let's see, leaving your car running with the window cracked is definitely an invitation to theives, plus it would only fill the passenger compartment with carbon monoxide, not the engine compartment.|||Rats (and other rodents) in cars are a serious problem. One expensive car had about $25,000 worth of damage from rodents. Mothballs and other scents do not work.

|||Unappetizing as it may sound, my best suggestion would be filling a plastic trash bin (like you would find in a school classroom) with water about three quarters of the way. The rest of this set up can be done two different ways, depending on where you are placing the trash bin:
1) Hang a bottle cap from the ceiling so that it almost breaks level with the top of the trash bin. (You may do this by poking a hole in the top of the cap, putting a string through the hole and tying a knot so that the cap can not slip off.) Then fill the cap with peanut butter. Place a ramp going from the floor to the lip of the can. The rat will climb the ramp, try to get the peanut butter, fall into the trash bin and drown.
2) The second method is no different from the first, except instead of hanging a bottle cap, put the peanut butter directly onto the lip of the trash bin, opposite the side on which you place the ramp.
Having tried multiple other methods during a two week session at a camp in Rhinelander, Wisconsin (including glue traps, poison, and snap traps) I can give you my personal recommendation for this tactic. We drowned about four rats in one night. Works like a charm. Good luck!|||do as you would to commit suicide, take a long tube and put one end on the exhaust pipe then the other in the slightly open window and leave the car on. That will kill them. Leaving you with dead rats and a smelly car.|||Buy more cats.|||I am fairly certain that when the car moves the rat will move also. So do not give it another moment of your time. Be more worried about how can a city that is supposed to be so civilised and rich , have such a rodent problem. Only countries that I am aware that have such a problem, are third world country cities.|||Oh no don't kill the poor rats! They're soooo cute!|||Try to handle them with Love and care
I know it's planning pretty far ahead, but I'm going to be applying to University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre and Dance in a year, and if I get in and attend school there and get a BFA in musical theatre, I'd like to move to NYC and start auditioning. But I'll need a decent job while I'm there, as I won't be making much money, even if I am successful. Any suggestions?|||I worked at a classy restaurant in Times Square. The money was nice but working in a restaurant the money isn't consistent. I'd advise you to get your bar tending license while you're in school. I wish I had. But in all honesty, I moved to Chicago because it's cheaper and the city is nicer. Plus there are more paid auditions that aren't tours for non-equity actors.
Break a leg! But yeah. Look into Bar Tending. It doesn't require you to work mornings (when most auditions are) and it's a good social job for actors.|||Well, being a waitress is the typical job, but you might be able to find a job at like a jazz bar singing. That way you can practice useing your voice at work.
If your interested in going to a class,you can learn how to bar tend. lots of my friends end up bar tending. They make pretty decent money.

We are planning a vacation. We will fly to NYC and spend a couple days on the Island. Then we want a more rustic experience in Maine, preferrably at or near Acadia Nat Park. We will essentially have our back packs and little else. We are willing to rent a car once we get out of NYC traffic. The kids are 13 and 16. Any thoughts? Thanks.|||A scenic road trip is the ideal way to enjoy the many wonders of Maine.
The first step is getting there, I鈥檓 pretty sure that I95 goes straight from NYC through Boston and up to Kittery. Once you鈥檙e in Kittery, you have many choices to make. Kittery itself has much to offer. Packed with outlet stores and wonderful restaurants, I would recommend making it your first stop in Maine. But before you leave, make sure you spend quality time at Yummies Candy store (www.yummies.com), no words can the amount of sugary happiness spewing out of this store.
Continuing northward from Kittery, the next stops would have to be York beach or Old Orchard beach. The two most beautiful beaches in Maine nestled into great rustic tourist towns. With the sand still stuck between your toes, a brief stop in Portland would be a wise decision. There, you can enjoy the Mall of Maine, catch a "Seadogs" minor league baseball game, catch a bite to eat in South Port, or get some rest in one of the Areas many hotels. From Portland, you can either take 95 up to Bangor, or enjoy a scenic route of Maine on Route 1.
Once in "downeast" Maine, there are countless opportunities to enjoy the beauty of Maine. Mount Desert Island is with out a doubt the destination for all those who seek a Maine vacation. MDI is the home of Acadia National Park where you can: Greet the sunrise before anyone else in America at Cadillac Mountain, see crashing waves at Thunderhole, or hike one of many trails the park has to offer. Also on MDI is Bar Harbor, where you can wonder around the great shops downtown, or catch a breathtaking whale watch.
No matter how you get there, Maine is going to be a fun and memorable experience for you and your kids. Just sure you don鈥檛 get addicted to the laid-back relaxing atmosphere, we don鈥檛 want to steal you away from your home state ;-)|||You could go by train. No to a traditional road trip, gas is to high.|||Acadia National Park is a great place to go, once on top of Cadillac it is absolutely breath taking! I will tell you though that the area business in Bar Harbor are just plain tourist traps! They are only open during the summer months. Want a true Downeast Maine experience? Actually come to Downeast Maine, which is Washington County! You can see the blueberry fields, which are quite a site. Check out the lobster boats and see the way small towns actually are.

Have we really taken a step backwards? Suppose a real life "Jack Bauer" had to get from NYC to London to save the world. On Concorde this used to be possible in 3 hours or so. Today, on a normal jet, it takes over 7 hours. Is there a Mach 2 (or above) aircraft that is capable of flying non-stop, without refuelling, from NYC to London any more?|||Well in that case they would fly on the SR-71. NASA has 2 that are still operational. They fly at about Mach 3.2. Meaning WAY faster than the concorde.
But your senario aint gonna happen anytime soon.........
EDIT: NASA still has 2 in perfect flying order.|||usualy between 5 and a half and 6 and a half depends on the day ive done it in both.|||They might be able to use a SR71 but I doubt the work NASA is doing with them would make them likely to be available for an emergency flight .
Your point is well taken. A lot of people pleaded but in vain for British Airways to keep at least one Concorde in flying condition for use on special occasions like flyovers on state occasions and so forth if for nothing else to preserve flyable patriotic symbol for The United Kingdom.
The plane might in theory be able to be used in just such an emergency as you described. Although it's use at a moments noticed might have required more maintenance then one only used on special occasions.
It would be nice to be able to see one fly from time to time. When the first Concorde took flight. The chase plane looked up at it in flight and overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the aircraft sent this first message:
.
........"you cannot possibly imagine how beautiful you are"
.
.|||Sorry Concord fans. But just like Elvis, you're just going to have to let her go.|||In time. Boeing was working on a supersonic airliner a few years back, I dont know if it has stopped or what but they broke the wall down that prevented aircraft from going supersonic over land. It is a new nose cone and leading edge of the flight surfaces that they redisgned. So hopefully you will see another first from Boeing sometime soon.|||I am going to say that in the future, you will travel by molecule scrambling from one transporter room to another in seconds.|||Hey guy's, he's talking civilian flight's, not military.
I am planning a trip up to NYC from out of town to see a friend and need to take mass transit. I am getting on around Penn Station and am getting off around Princes Bay or Pleasant Plains in Staten island. I will be traveling on a weekday afternoon/evening.|||public transportation in this city is extremely safe. Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority D/B/A Staten Island Railway, is a subsidiary of New York City Transit and by that of the MTA (contrary to what one of the other answers said). It's fleet is made up of 63 modified subway cars.
Unlike the subway, it's free except at the ferry terminal in the St. George neighborhood and starting two weeks from tomorrow at Tompkinsville station. You pay to enter the station to depart on the train and to leave the station when you arrive there. As an Transit Authority rail line, the fare is paid via MetroCard and entitles you to a transfer to or from the subway (meaning if you don't take your time, the ride from Penn Station to Pleasant Plains is only going to cost $2.25). You swipe once to get into the subway (you're going to want the #1 train to South Ferry) and then again to get on the SIR, but you are not docked a second fare within the 2 hour window.|||New York Transportation is very safe especially during the day. In fact a few weeks ago i went to a club in the village and took the train from Penn Station to 14 street at 12 am alone. Just walk with you head up don't flash your mp3 player or wallet and you will be fine. By the way the subway doesn't go to Staten Island the sis or station Island Railroad is an different company completely separate from the MTA. To go to Staten Island you can take the ferry and probably the bus. Hope you have a good time. :)|||Both NYC Subway and Staten Island Railway are perfectly safe. Fare is $2.25
Staten Island Railway fares are only collected at St. George, Tompkinsville, and Ballpark Station.
Please note all Staten Island Railway Stations between Stapleton and Tottenvilles Are Free.
Step 1: Take downtown (2)(3) express from 34th St-Penn Station (7th Av side) to Chambers St for downtown (1) to last stop, South Ferry. If (1) comes first, take (1) straight to South Ferry.
Step 2: Transfer to free Staten Island Ferry operated by NYCDOT to St. George.
Step 3: Paid with any MetroCard to get entry to Staten Island Railway.
Step 4: Take Staten Island Railway to Princes Bay or Pleasant Plain Station.|||It is safe and reliable, just be careful with pickpockets at the platforms. Like in any place use common sense and open your eyes.
Maybe I just love NYC because its the only place I've ever been to out of Canada. But it seems like a place that could never bring depression because its so full of life, and fun! Anyways I've only been there for about 2 days. What do you think about New York? And where are you from? Oh yeah BTW NYC feels like home for me and I want to move there in a few years, what do you think?|||you should move in with us when you can. we take Canadians, we take anybody! i was born and raised in NYC, but i'm actually travelling in Toronto right now, and i'm going home tomorrow.
btw, to be perfectly honest, fun is what you make of it, even in NYC. it is possible to get depressed here, only if you feel like you're not part of the 24/7 fun that goes on here. but any regular person should have several social circles within a month of living here, so that's the upside!
and even if you end up missing Canada, we have a LOT of Canadians here! good luck!|||My friend, that why New York City is known as the greatest city on Earth. The reason why 8.5 million people live here and 46 million more visit this city every year.

I will be driving from NYC to Indianapolis this week, and I am torn between two possible routes to take. Can anyone help me out? I don't know if I should take the I-70 route or the I-80 route. I honestly don't care much about scenery (although I also don't wanna fall asleep from pure boredom!). The main thing is which is an easier, faster drive with least amount of tolls and stops/traffic. Thanks for any help!|||Take I -80 W > I-76 W >I >71 S >I-70 W
You have one $0.75 toll when you cross the Delaware River on I-80
If you get gas in Stroudsburg you should be able to make it all the way Youngstown OH w/ needing to stop for gas
After you do your drive across PA my advice will make sense
You can do the drive in one day in good weather But it's a really long day on the road so try to be on the NJ side of the GW by 4:30 AM and allowing for the time change you may reach Indy by sundown
The combination of terrain ,heavy truck traffic and heavy precip can make driving I-80 in PA hard work ..But it's still better than the alternative routes
Once you get into OH fuel food and lodging becomes readily available
Safe trip|||The most direction route will be along I-70 via Allentown, Harrisburg and Columbus, as indicated on the map at the link below.

I have a friend who is driving a car with no insurance and his registration has recently expired. He cannot get insurance so he cannot register his car. His license is fine. What happens in NYC if the police stop him? He says he will just get a ticket but can they arrest him?|||I can't answer your question, but if your friend is not insured, I don't want him on the road.|||Yes, could be arrested and imprisoned. These are criminal offenses. Consider this:
New York requires that every vehicle driven on a public road must carry liability insurance. This law does not apply to motorcycles that are not in use, but does apply to motorcycles that are on the road. Your insurance company must provide to the state both paper confirmation and electronic confirmation of your coverage. If you do not comply, you can be ticketed or arrested, and law enforcement may impound your automobile. Also, your registration will be suspended and you have to submit your license plate to the Department of Motor Vehicles. If your registration is suspended for more than 90 days, New York will suspend your driver's license. Reinstatement costs $50 (as of February 2010).
Section of NY law pertaining to lack of registration:
18. A violation of subdivision one of this section shall be punishable
by a fine of not less than seventy-five nor more than three hundred
dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than fifteen days, or by both
such fine and imprisonment except, if the violation consists of failure
to renew a registration which was valid within sixty days, the fine
shall be not less than forty dollars. A violation of subdivision seven
or eight of this section shall be punishable by a fine of not less than
one hundred fifty nor more than three hundred seventy-five dollars, or
by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or by both such fine and
imprisonment, for the first offense, except where the violation was
committed with a vehicle having a maximum gross weight of less than
eighteen thousand pounds the violation should be punished by a fine of
not less than forty nor more than three hundred seventy-five dollars; by
a fine of not less than three hundred seventy-five dollars nor more than
seven hundred fifty dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than sixty
days, or by both such fine and imprisonment, for the second or
subsequent offense; provided that a sentence or execution thereof for
any violation under this subdivision may not be suspended. For any
violation of said subdivision seven or eight of this section, the
registration of the vehicle may be suspended for a period of not less
than ten days nor more than six months whether at the time of the
violation the vehicle was in charge of the owner or his agent. The
provisions of section five hundred ten of this chapter shall apply to
such suspension except as otherwise provided herein.|||Depending on the state laws and the discretion of the Officer, they can impound his car (most likely),
and charge him with operating a vehicle without registration and insurance. Both are misdemeanors and it is extremely unlikely that he would be arrested.|||Yes, definitely... It's illegal to drive without insurance, expired tags might pass, but no insurance, it's a no no|||Yes they can do either or both. But technically getting a ticket IS getting arrested.|||Doubtful he would be arrested, but he should count on the vehicle being towed and some high storage charges.|||They could arrest him and impound his car, but it's not likely.
Tell him to get insurance!!!|||Yeah, techinically they can...sucky ain't it.|||yes
Hi,
We are going to NYC in October and are planning on going to Six Flags but do not want to hire a car, is there a bus service to Six Flags and back?
If so where do we go to get it, how much, and what number etc?
Thanks|||NJ Transit Bus 308 from Port Authority Bus Terminal (42nd St&Times Sq), Gate 324.
Runs once a day to Six Flags, at 9:30am, 7 days a week. 3 times a day back.
Travel time: 2hrs
Cost: $50, Including admission to Six Flags.|||You can take a bus from the Port Authority. If you google them, they have a bus service schedule online that tells you when the bus departs. I believe it goes to 6flags on Saturdays and Sundays (although it might go during the week as well). The cost includes the bus ride and the entrance fee.
Were in NYC can i get a tubal ligation and a vigana reconstruction?|||Your best option would be to talk to your doctor - they will be able to recommend a specialist who can help you with your surgery. They'll probably refer you to a therapist too - they aren't trying to be offensive, it is just standard practice, so that they are sure you are making the right decision....
Goodluck|||In case you've got problems, tubal reversal is always there to help you. I heard from a testimonial that it really is an effective procedure. Here, this may even raise your hopes up:

A NYC landlord needs to bring a holdover proceeding in housing court against a tenant for material lease violations other than nonpayment of rent.
The landlord needs to serve either a Notice of Termination or a Notice to Cure.
What is the (legal?) difference between the two types of documents? Under what situations is a Notice of Termination required and under what situatuons is a Notice to Cure required?|||The Cure is an optional notice. Basically, fix the problem or move out. Termination has no option, and takes longer, it is simply "move out",
You can not use the termination one in rent controled NYC. You can only do this if there is no rent control for the unit.
My employer is saying negative things about me that I have never done. It is very obvious that he wants to fire me but I do not respect how he makes up things to blame me for which I did not do. I searched all over the NYC department of Labor of web site but cannot find a form to file a complaint about the employer. Can anybody please give me assistance in finding the place where I can file my complaint?|||Is your place of work unionized? If not there's probably not a lot you can do. Are you being discriminated against for reason of race, national origin, minority status, sexual orientation or disability? If so, then you might have a case. If not then probably not unless this is a form of sexual harassment.
Here's the the scenario.
Terrorist hijack a ship bound for NYC, they have with them a nuclear device. Within minutes of entering NYC harbor and before anyone discovers what has happened, they detonate the device.
Casulities are great, say 2 million dead from the intial blast, 3-5 million die in the following 30 days from radioactive fall-out.
Being that the NYC area is home to a very high percentage of liberals, the vast majority of the people that perish are liberals. Add to this that many New York Staters are swayed by the events to vote more conservatively.
Under this scenario, does New York State become a Red state?|||If this event were to occur I think not only would New York become a red state, it would cause the entire nation to rethink it's attitude toward the war on terror.
This scenario is chillingly scary because it is so very much in the realm of possibility.|||no they are so confused in NY they don't know which way is up|||Under you scenario, I belive New York would become a NEON GREEN State!|||Sorry, but this is kind of silly. This assumes incorrectly that people who consider themselves "liberal" aren't already interested in being safe. The Iraq war, which is the politically dividing issue of the moment, was started under false pretenses and in retrospect the world would have been safer if it had never been waged.
If a bomb exploded, are liberals going to become anti-choice? Anti gay rights? Anti womens rights? Pro government control? Anti free speech? I think not.
Silly silly silly.
Additional response to the additional details: why would the 5 million votes lost be overly liberal as compared to the rest of the state? Silly silly silly!|||There wouldn't be anymore NY State if NYC were nuked. You would lose a 1/3 of your population and tax revnue and NY State would become another Iowa. Yes another red state without many eletoral votes and thus very insignificant when it comes to political power in the US. But it would be another red state & that's still okay.|||Sorry, this is a really ridiculous question. It doesnt sound like there would be much left to BE a state, never mind what color. You obviously have a problem with liberalism.|||I don't know if it would become a red state but it would be back in play instead of a lock for Democrats. And there would be less EC votes in NY.
As to the political fallout a lot would depend on who was President. The party in power would take a major hit nationwide.|||Yes, the State that can be implied help US win the Revolutionary War and by its factories help the US win the Civil War.

|||Train
I am planning to stay in Langhorne. One of us will be going from Langhorne to NYC and other from Langhorne to Philadelphia.
Want to find out how good is Langhorne an option? Also are there better options?|||Your best bet are the trains. From Langhorne to Philly you should take the R3 line. You can catch the R3 in Langhorne.
Getting NYC will be a little trickier. The R3 can take you into West Trenton. At the West Trenton station you will have to catch the NJT bus. The bus will take yo uto the main Trenton train station (NJT, Septa R7, and Amtrack). You can then take the NJT train to Penn Station, NY or take an Amtrack train.
The bus also makes a stop at the Hamilton Station for NJT.
Good luck!|||Langhorne is a suburb of Philadelphia. Therefore, it is not a far commute. I-95 can be crowded during rush hour, so I can't say how long it would take to get to Center City. But many, many people do it. There's also an R7 train that takes you into the city.
Langhorne to NYC, as a daily commute is much more difficult. Again, people do it, but I wouldn't like to be one of them. A train would take about an hour and a half.
You don't say whether this is a permanent job, or something you're doing temporarily.
Maybe living in Trenton would be more manageable. The best idea is for one of you to change your job. As a former New Yorker, now living in a Phila. suburb, I recommend this area. Good luck.
Do you always need a metro card? How do you get one? Any tips on reading the maps? How much do things cost? Can you basically get anywhere in NYC by subway?
Any NYC subway info would be much appreciated.|||You always need a metrocard (contrary to the spell check here it's one word). They are mostly purchased now days from "MetroCard Vending Machines" large ATM style units.
the minimum in the $2.25 base fare, which gets you a paper card good for one subway ride, or one bus ride with transfer (it can't get you from one mode to the other). a $4.50 purchase gets you the acutal plastic card. these are normaly vaild for about 1 1/2-2 years. the experation date is printed on the back, and is not tied to the date of purchase.
there are two types of cards, Pay Per Ride (or PPR) and unlimted cards. a PPR card can be loaded with up to $80at a time, and holds up to $100. an unlited can be purchased for one day, 7 days, 14 days and 30 days. there is also a seperate 7 day plus Express bus, you you will prorbly not need it. an unlimted card is useless at the end of it's active period, which begins when the card is first used.
PPR cards can be used by up to four people at a time. each swipe gets you one free transfer between the subway and the bus within 2 hours and 20 minutes. when transfering to the subway, one must swipe 4 times. when trasfering to the bus, the card will deduct all transfers at once. These cards are also vaild on the Roosevelt Island Tramway, The Port Authority Trans Hudson (the PATH Train) and the Airtrain to JFK airport.
unlimted cards are programed to be used by one person and one person only. after a card is used, it is locked out for 18 miuntes.
when reading the map, note the following
1.The colors of the lines are meaningless, other than showing which main line in manhattan the line uses. the proper names are the letter or numbers displayed on the front and sides of the trains.
2. Just becuase a train is on the local or express track doesn't mean it will stay there. too many people get on the N at times sqaure wanting 28th, 23rd, 8th, prince streets, City hall, Rector street and Whitehall street. The N does not make those stops. it switches to Express and stops at 34th, 14th and Canal before heading to Brooklyn.
3. trains can be rerouted at any time for any reason.
4. while timetables exist for the subway, they are more guidelines than anything else. trains tend to ccome when they come.
keep your eyes to yourself, nothing bugs us daily subway users more then someone staring at us.|||Yes, you always need a metrocard, you can buy one at any station (there may be an exception but I haven't found it). It's easy to buy, you can't miss the machines, and they work like an ATM, so just follow the prompts on the screen. There's also machines that tell you how much you have left on the card. As long as you have a credit card, it's easy - they take cash too.
Also, it's not like BART, as long as you're within the system you pay one price, no matter how far you go. You won't get charged until you go through the turnstile exit.
My tip, take a map with you (http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm鈥?/a> it just makes it easier. I like the subway to get around the city, but if you have more than two people a cab may work out to be cheaper depending on how far you're going.|||A successful subway trip? As opposed to what?
The subway is not that hard to use. There are maps everywhere - before you pay, on the tracks, in the subway cars. Most New Yorkers are more than glad to give directions.
As to the metrocard, you can buy a one time paper ticket kind of card, but if you are going to ride more than once, you might as well buy a real metrocard (you'll have to use the machine either way.) It's not hard. The machine will give you directions.
The most important thing to remember is the direction you are traveling in. If the names of the streets are numbers and they are getting bigger, you are going UPTOWN (more or less north.) If the the names of the street are numbers and they are getting smaller, you are going DOWNTOWN (more or less south.) If you are going to a street that has a real name (like Wall Street) you are probably going DOWNTOWN, but consult a map to be sure.
There is a great website called Hopstop.com in which you can type a starting address and a destination address and they will give you VERY specific subway directions.|||hello I am from Chicago
but ive been in NYC about 3 times. The subway experience there
is ok. Yes you always need a metro card. You get one there at the

Thank you!|||well I use to do the taxi cab thing with my 3 year old nephew and the easiest and safest way is to put her on your lap and use your seat belt for the both of you. Since NYC is a very busy place and the people there are always rushing, it is easier and quicker to get in and out of the cabs this way, plus with the way those taxi cab driver drive it will be much safer for you to hold her on your lap and use your seat belt for the two of you. I can't say that this is legal, but you are right about having to carry around a big car seat, an umbrella stroller is a must have. find a way to put a strap on it for when you have to carry your daughter you can put the stroller on your back and leave the pocketbook at home and use a back pack.

I am moving to NYC this summer and own a seven year old German Rottweiler. He is a wonderful well behaved dog and I KNOW he can handle apartment living (as well as I being able to handle having a dog living in an apartment). My only obstacle is finding decent places in lower manhattan that allows this breed. Any thoughts?|||There are tons of dogs in Lower Manhattan. You have to find a Real Estate agent and make it perfectly clear, that you are looking for a pet friendly apartment that will accept your Rottweiller. You simply do not look or take any apartment that does not welcome your dog.
Will it be difficult? Yes. Is it impossible? No. Just don't settle.
BTW, there are tons of rotties, pits and other large breed dogs living in Lower Manhattan.|||Contact the Chamber of Commerce for the area you are thinking of moving to and ask for their "list of pet friendly apartment/housing." You will find something on that list---you may have to call several , before finding the right place for you and your dog. You could also use your internet to look into it too. You could also ask the ASPCA for a listing too.|||I do so hope you do find somewhere.
I would agree that a 7 yr old rottie will be fine in an apartment. By that age they have slowed down a lot and as long as they are walked several times a day then he would be fine.
It would be hard to find him a home at that age, or even a rescue that would accept him. We in rottie rescue do take in an older dog, but only one or two at a time, as it is hard to place them.
All the best with this, and can't help as am UK.
I am from PA and I just got my degree as a high school history teacher. I am planning on moving to NYC to look for a job teaching. Any tips? Where do I look for job openings? Is there a website or somewhere to find out more info? What type of certifications/tests do I have to take? What is the salaray for NYC teachers? Any areas in particular?
Any other tips?|||If you want to teach in NYc your best bet is to go to the Teach NYC website. They have all salary info, requirements, job fair info, etc there. Job fairs are your best way of getting a job there as they do not post future jobs on a steady basis. Information on scheduling an interview also there. Certification is a lengthy process but reciprocity agreements with PA should take care of that. You should check their website asap so you will be realy for Sept.
Unfortunately, without experience or really good connections it is very difficult to get a job in the surrounding areas, like Westchester County.
History / Social Studies is also not a high demand area.
Good luck.|||The cost of living in New York is terrible (I live in upstate New York). There are lots of jobs in New York City schools, but a lot of the schools have tough populations.
In most upstate New York Cities, there's aren't many jobs available because the population is decreasing and the economy isn't that great. The suburban schools do pay well, though and have decent benefits.... you have to work hard to find a job, though. :)
If you're looking for jobs, your best bet is to find districts online and make direct contact with them. Ask for good neighborhoods and districts, then just give them a phone call and ask if they're hiring. There are also many job fairs-- most of these are simple meet-and-greet occasions with short screening iterviews-- but it can give you some leads.
If you're looking for lower cost-of-living and more available teaching jobs, try: Las Vegas, Florida, Carolina, and Arizona. These places have growing economies, lower taxes, and lower cost-of-living.
There's an eBook about that may help you-- "Guide to Getting the Teaching Job of Your Dreams" http://www.iwantateachingjob.com It has advice on where to find jobs, interview tips, common teacher interview questions, and lots of other job hunting tips for teachers. Maybe it can help you.
Good luck to you!!|||Why would you want to go to somewhere like NYC to teach, where the overall education system is extremely lacking?
Find a wealthy suburb to teach in instead, youll make far more and will have far better living conditions
We're going on vacation to Boston, and want to spend a day in NYC. What is the easiest way besides driving to get to NYC? Is there a commuter train system that can accomplish this?|||Easiest is Amtrak, either the more expensive and faster Acela Express or the slower and cheaper Regional. Either way is faster downtown to downtown than flying -- the NYC airports are outside the city and require expensive cabs or slow transit to get into the city. All Amtrak trains go from Boston South Station or Boston Back Bay Station (better for the Back Bay hotels) and go to New York Penn Station.
Very cheap is one of the many buses that have sprung up to go direct from Boston South Station to various locations in NYC. They are faster than regular Greyhound as they don't make intermediate stops. Depending on the trip/date/time, it's dirt cheap. Try www.busjunction.com
www.Boltbus.com
www.megabus.com
www.gotobus.com
The fastest trip is about 3.5 hours, regular train is about 4 hours, buses about 4.5.|||Fastest would probably be to fly, but that may be the most expensive. You could drive I-95 and that will get you into the bronx, but then you would have to deal with traffic and other associated headaches. If I had my choice I would either take the bus (best for a low budget), or take the accella train (it is also the greenest way). you can easily get a taxi from grand central or the bus terminal, or you can take transit from either one. which ever way you go i highly suggest that you plan in advance so as not to get confused, also take a map of NYC if it is your first time.|||The Acela runs between Boston and NYC
http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentSer鈥?/a>
There are also greyhound run between Boston and NYC as well, they will be cheaper than Acela
http://www.greyhound.com/home/
If you do own a car however, I recommend you drive 95 S to Stamford CT and take the commuter rail from there, but that is only if you ow a car|||Check out the Fung Wah Bus. It's somewhat of a local secret but for $15 each way you can get from South Station in Boston to Chinatown in New York. Its not the classiest but its by far the cheapest and they sell out almost all of their trips so order online in advance if you're interested. https://www.fungwahbus.com/default.html|||yea, take the amtrack, my family lives in manhattan and my uncle takes the train to work in boston everyday.|||My opininon is taking the bus. There are lots of good companies that can take you there for a great deal, but most are round-trip (even better!). The cheapest one-way I found was 20 dollars for adults, 15 for kids, and 17 for seniors.|||Amtrak.|||train will take you about 5 hours each way. its not worth it.|||I guess AmTrak.
what veggies/plants can i grow in nyc during the summer time that will take about 60-65 days to grow or harvest?|||This should be of help to you with more info on that.
http://www.avianweb.com/easyvegetablesto鈥?/a>|||You may be able to find a pretty fully grown tomato plant with blossoms. You can still plant lettuce and spring onions. Check with a Home Depot or Nursery. I even saw at Home Depot some green beans in a container. You just have to look around.
All of the most impressive buildings in NYC were finished in the early 1930's (The GE Building, Chrysler, Empire State, Rockefeller..) Was this just funded by roaring 20's $ that were still available after the crash? Ive been confused about this for a while.|||The buildings were planned in the 1920s. Many were started and pride prevented them from stopping before they were completed. So many were white elephants for years. For example the Empire State building had many empty floors in its early days.|||I thought so many buildings were completed during the great depression because of the WPA (Work Progress Administration). Construction was a popular job opening that lots of people took, so to employ all those people, a lot of jobs were needed, therefore, a lot of buildings were erected. Report Abuse
I am a teacher in NYC. I have 5 years experience (1st grade) teaching, certification and a master's degree from an Ivy League school. How much can I charge for tutoring and does anyone have any ideas as to where I can find students to tutor?|||Go to Craigslist to find out what tutors charge and clients pay. As for finding students, that's a marketing plan you need to develop.|||It depends on the client and what kind of a neighborhood you're tutoring in. I tutored in Queens and got $50 an hour. That was about 5 years ago. Now I tutor in Long Island and I get $70 an hour. If a family asks me that I know is lower income, or has a lot of children, I will have no problem taking less. I'd take as little as $50 an hour these days. Check Craigslist, like the first person said, and see if others are listed. Good luck. Oh, your degrees and college probably aren't that relevant to the parents. You never know though.
Will travel to NYC. Too many hotel reservation agencies online. Do know how to make reliable hotel reservation with affordable rates?|||Contact Broadway Inn on line and make a reservation. It's a B&B|||Just go to the hotels website. They usually have a cheaper rate and you know that it's reliable.|||Use Yahoo Travel. It checks all the (9 major booking) sites at one time.
http://travel.yahoo.com/hotels
WARNING! Although it is a time saver, it is NOT always cheaper.
If you get a quote using it and go to the lowest quoted site directly, you will see a $10/day difference offered to you.
Once YT tells you which 9 booking site has the hotel you want the cheapest, go to that travel site and request a quote directly.
TIP! If 21 and older, choose only 21 and older hotels.
18 and older hotels tends to be a bit higher.|||You should compare several reliable sites with each other, e.g.:
http://tinyurl.com/38oefy3
http://tinyurl.com/2wuweyl
http://tinyurl.com/34zv87t
Going directly to the hotel doesn't work - in many cases they sell at reduced rates to agencies, and ordering directly from their website would surprisingly not be cheaper, but is always worth trying if you want to do the effort of finding each and every hotel independetly and separately.
You can always try
http://polistraveladvices.blogspot.com/2鈥?/a>|||I usually check the sites for hotels in an area where I want to stay. Then I go to that hotel's website and see what rates they offer. Then I book with whoever has the better rate. Some sites will let you set a range of rates you want, but you may not get any results for the dates you ware staying if there's an event or your rates are too low. NYC isn't cheap. If you want to stay in Manhattan in a nice place, count on paying at least $150/night.
I'm planning on July 9th to go see the red carpet of the Harry Potter premiere in NYC and I was just wondering how it all works. Can you just show up? Do you need a ticket? I don't want to try and actually see the movie or anything I just wanna stand with the other fans near the red carpet to see the stars and stuff.

I live in brooklyn and my roomate and I just found out we have bed bugs. It's not a huge problem yet (we've only seen one, but we have a few bites) but we want to stop the bugs before they get worse. We know we're supposed to bag all laundry/fabrics in the house and wash them, but most things I've researched say that an exterminator is the only way to really get rid of the bugs.
Does anyone know how much this would cost us (small apartment: living room, bedroom, and small office/closet) in brooklyn/nyc area? Does anyone have any recommendations (of exterminators or an effective way to do it yourself?)
Thankyou!|||Yes, no matter what action and preventative measures you take, it's imperative to get an exterminator in there to finish the job. Also, you're going to want to make sure you don't just hire some random Joe off the street. Look for someone that is licensed, provides a guarantee, isn't a huge money-hungry corporation and has many years experience.
I had the same problem a couple of months ago and it was such a hassle! When I started calling around... the estimates were ridiculous--some into the high thousands. I ultimately chose a company called Alliance Pest Mgmt in Staten Island. I dealt with a man by the name of Steven. The phone number is 718-606-2161 As far as I know, they service all 5 boroughs.
Also, if you're renting, it's your landlord's responsibility to take care of that I believe.|||Yes, but how much did it cost??? Report Abuse

I'm going to NYC for the first time ever in a bit and am taking a train that arrives at GCT around 8:30. I was planning on going straight from there to the Ferry Terminal in Battery Park. How hard is it to get a taxi outside of GCT?, How long is the average cab ride from GCT to the Ferry Terminal and what would be the approximate charge?|||It was the Friday after Thanksgiving in 1997. My wife & I, and the 2 daughters, walked out of FAO Schwarz, on the corner of 5th Ave. & 58th St. around 6:00 P.M. and had a 6:30 dinner reservation to meet her brother's family in Little Italy. I told the cab driver there was an additional $20 in it for him, if he could get us there around then.
We were taken on a thrill ride that would rival anything any of us had ever been on...at any amusement park we had ever been to! We went over a sidewalk, through a red light, around other vehicles that I felt I could touch if I just put my finger out the window one inch and at speeds at times that made us feel we were in a movie.
I found it amazing what an extra $20 could do...and my wife threaten to shoot me if I ever did that again.
We arrived in front of Ferrara's Cafe at 6:35 on the dot!|||My friend, the trip from Grand Central to Staten Island Ferry Terminal will takes about 20 minutes. Take the downtown (southbound) #4 or 5 express train (Green Line on the subway map) from Grand Central to Bowling Green.
Once you get to Bowling Green, exit subway at the south end of the station and walk south along Broadway from the station to Ferry Terminal.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck

My husband and I are planning a trip this summer.
We are not completely sure where we are going yet, but we are looking which city to visit.
We were thinking about NYC,
but, in case we want to drive to Washington DC, how many hours does it take to drive from NYC to DC? For those who have driven in between both?|||From midtown Manhattan in New York City to downtown Washington DC takes from four to five hours, depending upon traffic.
The actual driving distance is about 230 miles. If you find little or no traffic and make no stops, you might be able to make it in a bit less than four hours. Unfortunately you'll typically find traffic somewhere along the way, making the trip typically take around 4 1/2 hours.
If you run into heavy traffic most of the way, the trip can actually take more than five hours.|||Have you considered either the Delaware or New Jersey beaches?
Cape Cod is very nice.
Anyway.....
about 4 hours|||If you drive non stop, it will be about 3.5 hrs.|||Any where between three and a half to four hours, depending on traffic on Interstate 95.
Good luck|||3-4 hours|||3-4 hours depends on the traffic..
I realize that some taxes for NYC and/or NY state are reduced if I pay off NJ taxes, but am I still paying more than if I just worked and lived in NYC? What do I do?|||You are NOT paying more taxes than if you lived and worked in NYC. You do have to pay nonresident NJ state tax, but you get full credit by that amount toward your NY tax -- so you come out in exactly the same place. Since the NY state tax is higher than the NJ state tax, there is a tax increase for NJ residents who go to work in NY, but not the other way around.|||There's nothing you can do about that, save moving to NJ, or getting a new job in NY. You definitely get ripped off when you work in a different state than you reside.
I need to start planning my trip.
NYC - as in JFK.
GERMANY - as in Munich.|||It depends on whether it is a direct flight or not. Let's say you picked Lufthansa (the major German airline) as your carrier. They offer direct flights between JFK and MUC (i.e., Munich) on a daily basis with one of them being LH411. Duration of flight is 8 hours and 10 minutes. Planes usually depart in the evening and arrive early morning.
Btw, time difference between Munich and New York is 6 hours, so Munich is 6 hours ahead of NY, but you probably knew that.|||I recall the actual air time from Frankfurt to New York being closer to seven hours.|||16 hours
I'm going to Pennsylvania for vacation,but we want to go through NYC with our small children first and we have never been there. I would like to know how much it costs to go over briged and everything to get to different parts of nyc? Also what does it cost to park your car? I know we want to go to times square,broadway, ground zero, and to see the statue of liberty. Thanks.|||$8 to cross Holland and Lincoln Tunnels and George Washington Bridge (going into Manhattan; going to NJ is free).
$9 to cross Verrazano Bridge (going into Staten Island; going to Brooklyn is free).
$4.50 to cross the Whitestone, Throgs Neck and Triborough Bridges, and the Brooklyn-Battery and Queens-Midtown Tunnels.
Parking is ludicrously expensive in Manhattan. Expect to pay up to $50/day to park your car in a garage.|||$5 for the bridge
As much as $50 a day to park your car depending on the part of manhattan you choose.
You don't say how long you are going to stay (you didn't ask about hotel rooms) but your itinerary is very ambitious for 2 small children for one day. They will tire easily as it is a lot of walking. It is very intimidating keeping up with them in the crowds. NYC is not an easy place for small kids.
I would suggest you select a Greyline tour that allows "on and off" stops. That way you can easily manipulate with your children. The tours cost probably $40 to $50 a person but are well worth it. You can also take boat tours that will take you around the harbor and near the statue of liberty.|||It depends on the Bridge.
Most TBTA bridges are a $10 toll paid in one direction (or $5 paid in both directions) if you pay cash, E-Z Pass is less.
$10 TBTA
Verrazano Narrows Bridge (Staten Island to Brooklyn)
Triboro Bridge (Queens to Bronx to Manhattan)
Whitestone Bridge (Queens to Bronx)
Throgs Neck Bridge (Queens to Bronx)
Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Midtown Tunnel (Queens to Manhattan)
MTA Bridges
Henry Hudson Bridge $2.75 (Manhattan to Bronx)
Marine Parkway Bridge $2.50 (Brooklyn to Queens)
Cross Bay Blvd Bridge $2.50 (Queens to Queens)
Port Authority Crossings are $8 in one direction or $4 both ways, again cheaper if you have EZ Pass.
PA Bridges are:
George Washington Bridge (NJ to Manhattan)
Bayonne Bridge (NJ to Staten Island)
Gothels Bridge (NJ to Staten Island)
Outerbridge Crossing (NJ to Staten Island)
Lincoln Tunnel (NJ to Manhattan)
Holland Tunnel (NJ to Manhattan)
Then there are the NYC owned Bridges and they are free.
Brooklyn Bridge (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Manhattan Bridge (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Williamsburg Bridge (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Queensboro-59th Street Bridge (Queens to Manhattan)
And various smaller bridges between Manhattan and the Bronx and Brooklyn and Queens.
Parking, on average, will run you between $50 and $75 a day, depending on where you park.|||For the bridges, plan anywhere from 6 to 10 dollars... i've made that trip ever since I was a little girl but I can't remember the exact numbers. Car parking? In NYC?? Good luck! If you are going on a tour of downtown. Park your car in one place, then either walk the whole way or hire a taxi because if you drive you won't be able to truly enjoy the sites. With your little kids, try using either a stroller or those little backpacks with leads on them (it is NOT mean! it is just to keep them safe in the hustle and bustle of the city). Have fun!|||$8|||Most people have to take out a second mortgage now when they cross a bridge.|||5 dollars I think well its been a while so it probally went up to I dont know maybe 10|||8 dollars, no that is for a drink, no I stick to 8 dollars
Going to NYC for two weeks and I don't want to look like a tourist and constantly have to be bombarded by people selling stuff and possibly get mugged or something. I've heard that I should only wear black and dark colors. Is this true? Please give me some input. Thanks!|||The stereotypical tourist in NY wears white athletic shoes and white socks, loose-fitting t-shirts, knee-length shorts, and a fanny pack.
New Yorkers dress pretty stylishly, so wear a casual little summer dress, or jeans that aren't Mom jeans (no jean shorts) and avoid t-shirts unless they're small and fitted. Get some big sunglasses and the bums and sidewalk hucksters will have a harder time making eye contact with you.
Just read some of those entertainment magazines and see the stalker shots of NY celebs going about their regular day.
I'm going to NYC on vacation in JULY. I was wondering how women in their early 20's dress in the big apple because being a tourist I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. Any info or tips (considering the weather) would really help me to know what I need to pack!|||sundresses of all colors are all over-if youre going to be walking around, (and you will be walking around) I would suggest very comfortable flats or sandals or something else thats not new heels. bring sunscreen, sunglasses (very new york) and a little cardigan sweater when youre out during the day and it turns to a chilly evening. New York is all about being your self and as long as you don't have a fanny pack or ill fitting khackis, you'll be fabulous|||Its HOT! And humid, so lots of shorts and tanks! People in NY dress all different ways so you won't stick out. Bring a sweatshirt and jacket just in case it gets chilly at night but for the most part it's friggin HOT! I'm a girl in my 20s, I go there often to visit friends, I just dress like myself but according to the weather. If you enjoy going out you will love it, I never get much sleep when i'm out there the bars stay open til 4am and then the diners are open 24 hours! And don't forget to try some of the many great restaurants, etc. They have great food in NY, not as good as here in San Fran though ;-) Have fun!|||i was just there.
PLEASEEEEE don't wear a back pack with a map stickout of the back. lol
I saw this family of tourists doing that.. they were so obvious.
Basically have a lot of water with you and no fannie packs. Instead do a big tote bag or any type of bag.
Oh and have an umbrella just in case.. actually in nyc there are people selling umbrellas when it rains.I'm not joking. But it was so funny. When I was there it started raining hard and this guy was just walking by selling jumbo umbrellas. lmao
Anyways.. attire: wear whatever you want..
whatever is your style. keep in mind it gets both hot and rainy.|||you can check this site,they have lots of dresses.
I have just ordered 2 items mother dress from this website http://www.kanaccasbridal.com/shopbrands.asp?cate_id=326

Good lucky.|||most 20-something women i see wear light colored flowing sundresses when it gets hot. the dresses go down to about 6 inches above the knee, and they wear flip flops to walk around in. most of them are very very nice looking.|||very.....very...distracting....;D
its usually so packed there i cant tell, a lot of people are different i would just be myself|||anything goes. don't listen to these people. dress how u wanna dress|||When I was on vacation there, my impression of the city was that it was PACKED. As the notorious "big apple," it is one of the most multi-cultural city I've ever visited: people dress whatever suits them (according to their mood & style, aside from the mandatory work uniform of business suit, of course), so yeah, just be yourself. If you don't want to "stick out," WALK FAST (whatever is your "regular" pace, double up). They are THAT fast-paced, regardless whether it's the weekend or weekdays. You will KNOW who the NYC residents are: weekdays, people are mostly clad in black business suits (pant suits or suit skirts)....rushing, rushing, rushing in business totes and briefcases; weekends, "youngsters" seem to dress in jeans and casual "night out" clothes just as any other big cities....but they, too, were always rushing, rushing, rushing....people rush in attempt to beat the taxis and cars just to cross the streets....and vice versa. So yeah, SKIP the high heels----hahaha, my mom insisted on wearing her heels and she paid the price in pain.
As for the weather, since I'm from the Rockies, I noticed it's waaay more HUMID over there. Temperature wise, it's about the same as Denver during the summer, but it's the humidity that made it FEEL sooo much hotter. I brought makeup with me, but decided to minimize it because I was a bit frustrated with the humidity. It's perfectly OK to wear mini backpacks, small to medium totes, or over-the-shoulder bags, prepared with makeup and other essentials, such as tissues (oil blotting tissues are not enough if you have oily skin or combination/oily T-zone) to help soak up sweat (and I hardly sweat much). But satchels will get in the way of shopping. DRINK WATER, not pop (soda)----caffeine is a diuretic----it will only dehydrate you much faster and make you go to the bathroom too much. You will much rather spend more time site seeing and shopping.
Don't miss out on the MANY great restaurants, too, ESPECIALLY their China Town (San Francisco's China Town is STILL the BEST in the U.S. in my opinion though). Don't worry, eat now, you will work off the calories when you hike around site seeing and shopping. ;)
If you decide to go on the "ferry ride" (around the Statue of Liberty)....that's where I would recommend wearing full makeup during the day, because they take your photo before you go on the ferry. However, ferry or not, the breeze helps A LOT while you're visiting the Statue of Liberty.
Have fun and don't miss out going on top of the Rockefeller building to see the precious sight of the city! Go hit the clubs! You'll have sooo much fun!! My daughter is ALREADY planning another NYC trip.
I am planning on writing a short story in which a character travels by car from Seattle to NYC, how long would it take? And what major cities/ landmarks are they likely to hit on the way there? I live in the UK so I am unaware of this.|||It is 2,840 miles from Seattle to NYC. It would take approximately 55 hours to get to that destination if you're traveling 60 miles per hour on average.
It seems in nyc when they are redoing a street. They come in rip up the whole road, and leave it like that for a few weeks until everyones nice new car is destroyed by flying pebbles and rocks, and shocks, ties and rims are in need of replacement. Then 3 weeks later another crew comes in to lay down nice new asphalt. Everywhere else it seems like they do it all at once. Is there a reason why they do it differently here in nyc?|||In the ongoing quest to save money, and make expensive resources go farther, a machine specifically made to grind an inch or more asphalt off the top of an existing road surface is actually sent to a processor and is carefully ground up and mixed in with new asphalt and tar, and then heated and delivered to the job site, and a new layer of roadbed is layed down and sealed with hot tar and a new high tech road is ready for 20 more years of traffic.
The new mixture is about 80 percent of the old ground up asphalt and will tolerate years of abuse from almost any thing known to man. and can withstand heat and cold and wear and tear, The processing actually takes some time, you are talking about tons of material and some heavy duty equipment to build a new section of road.
My grandpa says that the first paid firehouse in NYC was number 35. That would make sense if there were 34 volunteer fire departments before it, but then he said that the second paid firehouse was number 63? How is that possible?

It's a great place to walk around at night, and has lots of restaurants and bars. Sushi Samba is a great place that melds Japanese and South American. I think the first commenter seems like she knows what she's saying. One great Italian place is Jolie, in Brooklyn. I took my girlfriend there for Valentine's Day... it's low-key and has great food.|||There is one restaurant that has been around for quite awhile and it gets great write ups, but for some reason it just isn't that well known. I have taken quite a number of people there and every one has been taken by the place and amazed that the prices are so reasonable for the quality.
You can get out of there for $100 or under.
The place is called Capsuto Frere and it is located on Watts Street, which is way downtown, I guess it is Tribeca. It's sort of around the entrance/exit to the Hudson Tunnel.
If you are driving there is no problem parking.
The food is Lebenese/French. The specialty is their souflees, and if it's for a birthday I suggest that you order one of the special ones that they suggest at the beginning of the meal. They do have some ready made ones, but the specially made ones are so much better.
Also, actually, not that far away is another restaurant I highly recommend. It is called
City Hall. It also is not that expensive. I don't think it has as beautiful and special an atmosphere, but if you don't like French food, this place is totally American. The food and service is fantastic. I certainly can say I love this restaurant. I got married there, well, re-married, 3 years ago, and everyone expected to have the usual food you get at a catered affair, the rubber chicken. Not here. Every piece of food was gone by the time the platters were taken away.
Either of these places would work very well for a wonderful dinner out.
I have enough money for first months rent and last months rent for an decent apartment, have good knowledge of the streets of manhattan (including the subways), want to live downtown, but I live in Pennsylvania.
I'm still in school, and won't seriously consider moving there until I graduate high school, but it has always been a dream of mine to move to the city.
I just want to know what I would expect/ have to do moving to another state, especially NYC.|||First of all, you'll need more money that that.
Just in terms of what you need to rent an apartment, you'll probably need to pay a "fee" on most apartments, particularly affordable but liveable apartments.
And then you'll need to live on something. Plus, what happens when the next month roles along? And the one after that? Have you also thought about what kind of job will pay your rent without your having a college degree???
Remember, there are tons of college grads arriving in NYC every day who can't find work in the current economy. Plus there are a lot of people older than that who were recently laid off who are also looking for work - and they have skills and experience. You don't have any of that, nor do you have a degree.
I say, go to college (you could even go to college in NYC.) Get a degree. By then, they economy may have improved, but even if it doesn't, you'll at least be more marketable than you are today in terms of finding a job.|||I'm going to answer this question as if you've already made your mind up about moving, since no one else seems to be answering it this way.
What you should expect when moving to NYC, especially if you find an apartment in downtown Manhattan, which WILL be expensive, is to be prepared for a lot of traffic. Downtown is very congested and moving vans and trucks have a hard time manuvering down there. Plus, depending on the size of your vehicle, some streets are closed for trucks. There is a NYC truck map that you can pick up (for free) that let's you know where exactly you can drive a truck.
You would also need to have someone helping you move, at least two other people. You need to be prepared to double park, since spaces for larger vehicles are very hard to come by anywhere in Manhattan. I would take turns swapping between moving things and watching the truck to make sure you don't get parking tickets.
Depending on where you move, how many flights you have, and how much stuff you have, moving one person into a studio apartment shouldn't take longer than 3 hours tops. It will be much shorter if you have an elevator.
Good luck!|||NYC is very expansive. But it's very good at the same time.|||What you need to expect is to be realistic - about everything. You say you have enough money saved up for first and last month's rent - is that by PA standards of rent or NYC standards of rent. There will be a huge difference! A good place to see what NYC rentals cost is Natefind.com: http://www.natefind.com
Ok, now you have enough for your apartment. Landlords will want proof you can pay your rent. You WILL need a job BEFORE you can get a lease (in almost all cases).
Now you have a job and apartment. You need furniture. At the very least a bed. So if you haven't already done so, start saving up for furniture.
So if you now have a job, an apartment, and, furniture in your apartment. What is it that you seek out of NYC? Is it a career? Make friends? Try to become an actor? Whatever you goal is once you are in NYC then you need to follow the right paths to help you become a success. If you want to meet friends, don't go to bars - you won't meet quality people that way. Instead, take a class - it can be a cooking class, a language class, or, even an aerobics class - as long as it's something you enjoy. This way you have common ground with those in the class with you and it will be easier to make friends.
I hope this helps to give you an idea of what to really expect. Living in NYC isn't anything like you see on tv or in the movies. It's pretty much like living anywhere else... You get up, to go work, pay your bills, run your errands, etc.
Best of luck to you!
Especially, when you are all by yourself in NYC.
What perspective is needed to enjoy NYC alone?|||Think positive and keep a tongue in cheek attitude about it all.
When I lived there it took me quite a while to understand the sort of inside jokes that New Yorkers play every day on each other, and understand that they are not being rude really. They are efficient, fast, and good even when it comes to ordering lunch in a packed deli at noon. Keep a hidden smile on your face always ready to light up and ignore that some people will be rushing - to work, to catch a train, or bus, or just go get home. Maybe for a hot date.
I used to love being there, living there, going places alone, the wonderful , amazing Museums, Roc Center, and so on. I always found somebody to talk with and enjoy the moment. Just be careful and smart and pretend you know what you are doing even if you don't. I used to tell people that I was a true tourist at heart even though I lived in NYC and that I'd always be a little girl from a little town in Pennsylvania.
Example, getting on a bus, I'd say to the driver , maybe, ' HI There Mr Wonderful, Patient Handsome Bus Driver, Will you tell me if you stop at ?????? ' I always got the right answer and often also a smile or maybe a growl that was really a smile in disguise. Have a great time.|||You should do some serious research if you are thinking of going there and especially if you are going to live there. Look into NYC and the different areas. NYC is tremendously huge city. There are a lot of people, traffic, crime of course, and noise. Some areas are better then others in the city. So doing some homework is really a good idea. There are many things to see and do, and so many people you can meet. What do you like to do? Start with that. Be careful of course and use good judgment. Try to have a positive attitude and that will help a lot.|||You know, I have seen the myriad questions you have asked this week about living in NYC.
It seems you don't really know enough about life in NYC to even ask the right questions.
You act as if ALL of NYC is as busy and crowded as the densest parts of Midtown.
The truth is that most of us live in quieter sections of the city.
So before you make any decisions, one way or another, visit some residential neighborhoods. (You might even try doing this before you ask any more questions. That way, your questions might be more useful to you, as they will be less full of stereotypes.)
Parent of friend is in NYC nursing home and is in very poor health . How long will it take for him to get a death certificate after the funeral director files the paper work once his father passes? Father has pre-arranged funeral arrangements with a local funeral home. Son is no longer NYC resident, and lives in other state. NYC Board of Health website says 4 weeks- is that correct? Anyway to get one faster?|||Sounds about right...
Hi,
I have been planning an engagement for a couple months, mostly shopping for rings. This is a surprise proposal. We both live in California but she is from Queens, NY and at some point we plan on moving to NYC. I am a southern guy and I have only been to NYC with her a few times to visit her family.
I would like to do an exclusive (I plan on buying the ring there too) proposal in NYC.
What are some great engagement places in NYC? I was planning to ask her on the first day of spring or in early March/late February. We're both in a our mid-twenties.|||I personally think a romantic evening horse carriage ride through Central Park. Make sure your engagement ring BOX lights up for an extra sweet touch, ( if you do proposal in the evening). This will keep your southern ties mixed with some of your soon to be new city life..
As far as where to buy an engagement ring, I'm not to sure you can always look on line or when your down there walk around and window shop until you find the right place.|||Central Park.|||I think the empire state building would be great. It offers such a nice view of so much of the city. It would make it very special.|||Try the Empire State building. Have a nice meal and take her to the observation post and make your proposal. The scenery is breath taking. She would love that. Congrats!|||Central Park, In a nice restaurant in the city, times square, one of the beaches etc.
In NYC, why is it illegal to carry a concealed gun but it is also illegal to carry a visible knife? It is legal to carry a fully visible gun (if you have a permit) but it is legal to carry a concealed knife.
I just don't get it.|||The politics of NYC are complicated no doubt, but it really boils down to a mentality that the only reason that a person would need a gun is if they are a criminal or a cop. The idea of being self sufficient is foreign. Don't try to apply logic to gun laws because you will just get frustrated.
But even with this it is possibly to change this with some lawsuits coming down the line. If you are interested in joining the NRA for a discounted price of $25 - go to http://www.discovershooting.net|||You know them rubix cubes? The one with the different colored sides that you twist into different combinations of colors?
That's what happens to policy. It starts out with all the same colors on one side, and every policymaker down the line gets to twist it once, and the end result is called a law.|||because of dumb politicians.
I am planning a getaway to the Woodbury Outlets and NYC from upstate NY. I need a hotel (3+ stars, and preferably under $150) in between Woodbury and NYC so I can go to the mall, stay at the hotel overnight, and then go to NYC and finally drive home. I also need public transportation from the hotel to inside NYC because I cannot handle the volume of traffic.
Please share your opinions and thanks a million!|||there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.|||Well staying in Manhattan will help. Depending on your budget, may I recommend the link below.
Good luck
Native New Yorker

|||No, I do not.|||Yes. I answered your last question! Heh. Well it's just how they make it seem on TV. I never said only Hispanic people live in NYC! I wasn't being racist. Don't misinterpret my answers!|||i think NYC is the best city in the world, and that people who criticize it are *ssholes who have never been there, and have nothing nice to say about anything that doesn't directly relate to their own tractor and Keith urban infested town
