KBear Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I'll be flying into La Guardia early afternoon on the 14th. Will take a cab to the show and then back to my hotel (which is right by the airport) after the show.Is anyone staying around La Guardia and would be willing to split the cab fare? We might also be able to split hotel costs for one room. I am just staying for one night though. Check in around 3pm on the 14th and I probably leave around 5am on the 15th.

directionality Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I am going to be sleeping in my car somewhere... which areas should I avoid/which areas are safest/where will I not be ticketed?Only other option is to split costs with someone on a room somewhere... I'm going to be there from the 12th thru 17th and am not sure which nights I'd want to stay in a room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxAmandaxx Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks for the tip brobot.Does anyone know of a few Internet Cafe's not too far from the convert venue?Wouldn't it be pretty much guaranteed that there'd be Internet Cafe's all over the place in New York anyway Eric? Dont you have a laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls_Disillusion Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 While the climate in Manhattan in May can be lovely for sleeping on the streets, there are other environmental variables that may make it not so pleasant. There are some cheap hostels in NYC where you share a bathroom with other rooms. Try searching for some of those. I think they are about $30 a night. Here's one pretty close to the show: http://www.manhattaninnhostel.com/$30 bucks a night?? lol thats gotta be a nasty place..as for the climate. is it going to be all humid and sticky and shit? My allergies can't handle that kind of weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell him you checked out and need to store a bag, backpack, etc. Tip him a buck of two and your stuff will be safe and secure as long as you need. Done this a lot and it's worked like a charm.

I'm flying into Newark, it was a lot cheaper, and I was told you can get into Manhattan by train for about 15 bucks from there, as long as you are traveling fairly light.

Birk Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 SO should i fly into Lugauardia or Newarek? I heard Luguardis is 8miles from the show????birk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porterhouse Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 SO should i fly into Lugauardia or Newarek? I heard Luguardis is 8miles from the show????birkIf flight costs are equal, I'd fly into Newark. It may be a bit farther away, but the Air Train service (http://www.panynj.gov/airtrainnewark/index.php) makes travel to the city a breeze and it lets you off at Penn Station, right near the venue. Laguardia is closer, but it doesn't offer an easy public transportation option and you'll probably need to use a more costly taxi.JFK airport also offers AirTrain service, so it's easy to get to/from as well using the subway (http://www.panynj.gov/airtrainnewark/index.php) via Penn Station.Hope this helps.

Regardless of where you choose to stay in Manhattan, getting to Hammerstein is simple via the subway, or a no-brainer in a taxi.http://maps.yahoo.com/maps.py?name=&addr=3...mpass=&BFKey=ho Hope this helps.- Porterhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birk Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Im looking for a hotel that is VERY close to the Hammerstein Ballroom? And not $200 a night. Is that even possible to find that? I will probably be landing in Newark. But, i figured there are bars around Hammerstein Ballroom. Is there bars around there? Any hotel info would help. Thanks!!

Birkcheapest you can get around there, to my knowledge, is the Hotel Pennsylvania for about 150 a night. but after taxes n all, you are paying about 200 bucks a night. I hear its quite a shithole, but I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birk Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Damn. Thats fuckin ridiculous. There has got to be something halfway decent and affordable. But, who knows they will probably raise the fuckin prices or something. Theres gotta be hotels or motels for that matter around the Newark airport? Any links that people can put up would be great. Thanks. birkIs that near the Newark airport? What about prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garden Of Eden Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Drive 45 minutes to New Jersey, and stay in a clean hotel with a bed, bath, toilet, and crappy TV. Or you can stay in New York for less than 200$, but you might hear some arguments, gunfire, cops, and footsteps. Whatever you feel safer in.

Birk Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Im from chicago, so im used to all that. I am just worried about prices. And i am not driving. What are the chances of getting a room the day of? Probably not to good i would assume. birk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
