Public Rest Room
by von.otter
Until New York City makes good on its long-held promise to install public rest rooms along the city’s sidewalks tourists and locals will have to make do with those already established.
One such public lavatory can be found in Bryant Park. It is on the 42nd Street side of the park, close to the library.
There are 16 public restrooms located throughout Central Park. They are as follows.
• Merchants’ Gate, 61st Street and Central Park West (closed winter)
• Heckscher Playground, Mid-park at 62nd Street
• The Arsenal, 64th Street and 5th Avenue

Good Half Day

Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. They can easily be hit in a half day. The Museum's collection is extensive, there is something for everyone. A modern art wing for the "hip", classical art for the distinguished and an armour and egypt exhibit that the kids will be entertained my. The park is beautiful in winter and summer. It's a great place to go ice skating, or in nice weather have a picnic. Easily finding my own spots in the park and people watching. There are all sorts here and it's quite a sight to behold.
GO TO THE EMPIRE STATE...

GO TO THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
My dear ritual...as soon as I've arrived and settled in my hotel...off I go up to admire the view from the 86th floor observatory, 1,050 feet (320 meters), shown on the picture above!
Since the Observatory opened to the public in 1931, almost 100 million visitors have thrilled to the awe-inspiring vision of the City beneath them. Each year over 3.5 million people are whisked to the 86 th floor to be where Cary Grant waited in vain for Deborah Kerr in an 'Affair to Remember', while Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan had their fateful meeting in the movie 'Sleepless in Seattle'.

if you want to see the sights...
by katie_park
if you want to see the sights in an effective and convenient way, taking a city tour bus can be one way. during the 3-day trip, we had sunny day on the first day, and rains next day. after Elizabeth--my interpreter who helped me with French-- before i checked out at the Edison Hotel where i also stayed on my own short trip, we had around two more hours to take the bus, so she and i decided to hop on a double-decker city tour bus..... since we had waffle, such a fresh orange juice, and coffee for breakfast--oh my dear, you have to have them all at once, extremely tasty~^^--,we were just full and still felt great. thanks to that, it was not a big deal that i paid about 20 bucks or more for the 'Apple Tours' fee. well~~ the thing is i had headache trying to figure out what the announcements was explaining--the lady had such a strong new yorker accent, and on top of that my english was not as good as present one--i know, some of my friends would doubt! at any rate, i was making film with my video camera. according to the announcements, people looked like hop off to take a fresh air, and hop on again. when the bus pull over nearby a port, i thought that was another break, so i got off for some pictures, damn it! the apple tours guys left right away... oh my gosh~ thank god, however, i had my passport, $20.00 in my pocket, and trying not to be frustrated, i took a taxi to get to the hotel, and luckily enough, i memorised the address... carrying my backpack, Elizabeth looked soooo stunned yet happy to see me lying in bed, and watching TV in the room...
all right, guy! while travelling, make sure you always have to carry the passport and some amount of money... for guys in non-english speaking countries, gotta study english!!
