mike69mackman Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Well mama and I and our daughter gonna take a little train ride into NYC for the weekend. Booked a nice hotel in midtown . Daughter wants to see a couple museums and mama would like to go down to the WTC site. Don't think that's gonna happen as I believe subway is still shutdown in lower manhattan and a cab ride will require a 2nd mortgage to pay for lol. But looking forward to a nice 3 day weekend to relax and walk around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 There are several subway stations open within just a few blocks of Ground Zero. Only the station(s) at the actual site are closed. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yes, NYC is great this time of year; all the Christmas decorations. I liked Rockefeller Center and all the stores decorated with lights. Times Square is a great place to visit. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike69mackman Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Got back from NYC last night. Had a great time and the train personal on the Amtrak were great. Got a few pics nothing spectacular as I've seen most everything there is to see in NYC on past visits . Gonna get the daughter to download the pics later this week.

Green Dash Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It was in Midtown. I seriously doubt it was a random shooting, but something no one wants to witness nonetheless.http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/man_shot_in_head_in_broad_daylight_5lOmcRkgAkYeO3fIFNuXxO Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike69mackman Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 3 people vlad. But if your going to visit the big apple you may as well live it up lol. You certainly don't want to stay in any of the places just outside the city. Trust me. Had to do that with new penn motor freight when they would put me to bed in south Kearney New Jersey. We're hawked and Hoboken arnt much safer. May As well spend the money and enjoy yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
