Latest New York City hotel reviews
Pro
An upbeat, exciting city - young, fun and vibrant, and very easy to get around!
Con
Gentrified - about $$, losing it's diverse personality - hurry before Manhattan becomes total Disneyland
In a nutshell
Great sites, people, food, theater, shopping, and architecture
328 Reviews At least once in your life, you have to see Times Square. The cacophany of lights and sounds and constant movement can be overwhelming to the senses. There is definitely an energy here - and a sense of familliarity. You've seen it in movies, on tv, in books and magazines, and yes - every New Years...
Statue of Liberty - Ellis Island
444 Reviews Ellis Island is arguably the most important symbol of the positive benefits of immigration - even today. Official estimates indicate that 4 out of 10 Americans can trace their ancestry to at least one Ellis Island immigrant. That's 40% of 300+ million. A tour of Ellis Island is essential to...
1 Review and 1882 Opinions This is a Hotel /Bed and Breakfast. It is a oasis in the middle of Times Square. It is quiet inside...
1 Review and 585 Opinions The brand new Andaz by Hyatt is a marvel of modern design done right. The staff and facility are...
35 Reviews The food is very over rated especially considering the prices. However the surroundings are really nice and that is what makes the experience. There booking system is shocking, they don't seem to be aware of modern technology your choices are either ring them or stand outstand the restuarant an...
42 Reviews A simple traditional deli, been there for years and I grew up 2 blocks away and was my favorite back then, 40 years ago The cornbeef and pastrami sandwich is to die for...I get cravings 200 miles away and when I am in NYC, I have to stop by and get my fix....I also get a hot dog too and kill two...
14 Reviews My first time here we were lucky enough to get on the guest list for this great club. Saved us the hassle of waiting on line as well as the admission price. I honestly really like the place. Upstairs is live music and dancing while downstairs is more of the DJ/mix club scene you are used to. It was...
21 Reviews This was The Husband's favorite bar. McSorley's Old Ale House has the distinction of being NYC's oldest continually operating saloon - and it looks it. From sawdust-strewn floors to memorabilia-covered walls to potbellied stove, very little has changed since its establishment, in 1854, by...
273 Reviews Taking the New York subway was much easier than we had hoped. For one thing, get a Metro map when you arrive in NY - the one I printed off the internet was too small to be useful. The subway will get you to (or close to) anywhere you want to go, and can even get you to the train station if you need...
105 Reviews Wouldnt be a trip to NY without a journey in a famous yellow cab, dont be worried by stories about rogue taxi fares etc, they are all licensed and you can agree a price before you get in, add a couple of dollars for a tip. We used them a couple of times and had no problems.
48 Reviews I have to say I didn't really like this store it was far too busy! and alot of the stuff in there looked like junk to me. I am sure if you are prepared to use your elbows and fight to save $20 on a purse then you might just get a bargain! Tip: if you want to go get there as soon as it opens at...
93 Reviews I had never been to NYC before; this was the first time. What a wonderful store and at Christmas, it was really "dressed for the occasion". Everything there that you could think of. Everything that you can't find in your home store and that's a lot. A little pricey, but what do you expect? It's the...
40 Reviews Dont worry about tipping when you visit NY, I have read the forum posts of people panicking and confused, if you get a taxi agree a price inc tip, usually about 10 or 12 %, in diners again usually 10 or 12%, restaurants show tip inc on the bill. We didnt use hotel porters, carried our own luggage,...
14 Reviews There are a lot of options for ordering food from a cart on the street in NYC. We call it "street meat". If you want to find the best- check out the winners of annual Vendy awards (Oscars for Street Meat!!). In addition- there are now tons of places offering 99 cent slices of pizza.
8 Reviews Always keep an eye on your money, and camera in the subway, pickpockets are good at taking your stuff without you noticing it in time. and never buy tickets from a stranger on the street, and so you do not buy fake tickets, and never go fake cab can be good also to read a bit about New York before...
5 Reviews A man walked into a New York City bank and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Europe on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The loan officer said the bank would need some security. The man handed over the keys to a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front...
55 Reviews Do not buy anything over there, we thought to have a good deal but it turned out to be worth 175 instead of 700. Looking is good but go back and check the prizes on the internet before you go over there. Internet is cheaper and honest.
17 Reviews Im what you call the tourist i came to new york in April this year and made sure that Ground zero was the main thing that i saw as even though im not an american i felt the pain and sadness as i remember still to this day clear as day watching the destruction on the news and as it was my 1st trip to...
4 Reviews all the good food, and drinks. A real market with the most, and take in the historic New York. Hours: Monday - Saturday: 7am to 9pm, Sundays: 8am to 7pm Address: 75 9th Avenue (Between 15th and 16th Streets), New York, NY 10011
56 Reviews Baseball. You have not lived until you have rode the subway to Yankee Stadium, ate a hot dog, drank a few beers, and watched my boys do what they do best. I try to make it to NY once a year to watch a game. One of these days - I'll post how I became a Yankees fan at the tender age of seven (funny)...
60 Reviews They have installed a webcam way up on the Empire State Building from which you can view miles around. The controls are intuitive and there is no software to install. Just point, click, pan and enjoy. http://live7.truelook.com/face/newface.jsp?name=/strends/esb&width=640&height=480&overlay=default
70 Reviews I must say reading clareabee's posting makes a lot of sense and I'm guilty of almost not doing my part. I went on a photo safari this summer in Central Park and it was great. The guy leading the photo class was great! I had a blast and I learned a lot, but it never occurred to me to tip! As in NEVER...
