Cheap day trip from NYC to The White House

by markythesparky1

I was recently staying in NYC and wanted to take my two kids, aged 15 and 17, to see the White House in Washington, DC. My hotel, who I suspect saw me coming, quoted a staggering $450.00 After some research, I found a company called Boltbus which picks up from New York 33rd and 7th by Sbarro and terminates at Washington DC’s Union Station. The cost per way, per person, starts from $1.00 (assuming you book the tickets early enough). Once in DC, we all jumped in a taxi which took us straight to the White House at a cost of $10.00 It is easily possible to do this in a day, for example: 08:30 NYC (arrive DC around 12:45) 17:30 DC (arrived NYC around 21:45) The Boltbus coach was very comfortable, had a toilet/bathroom on board and had free wi-fi and power outlets to charge your laptop/phone. They also don’t mind if you take food and drink onboard. However, if you don’t have time, Union...

Easy trip to New York City

by m1nkey

It is just as easy to fly into Newark International Airport and take a train to New York City. Of course it depends where your ultimate destination is. But Newark is only about twenty minutes by train and the Airport has a Monorail train that goes to the train station. You can buy a ticket all the way into New York Penn station at the AIRTRAIN machines at the Airport and slip into New York easily. This will bring you up at 33rd street and 8th Avenue. A short walk to the Empire State, Macys, Madison Square Garden and much more.

Subway

by Dymphna1

We were surprised to find that some of the subways shut down late at night - even in Time Square. We had to find another station to get on and then figure out how to get to the correct line.It was really helpful that we managed to get a map of the subway and all transportation before going.

Hudson River by Paddlewheeler

by cruisingbug

I'd so often seen the Hudson, and crossed the Hudson, but had never actually been ON the Hudson River, until I'd been on the River Rose. The River Rose is a New Orleans paddlewheeler which was brought up the Atlantic coastline to the Hudson River. Now, she runs cruises out of Newburgh, NY. On our cruise, we paddled south of Newburgh, past Breakneck and Storm King mountains, in sight of Bannerman's Castle down to Cold Spring, where we turned and made our leisurely way back. It was the perfect way to spend a warm autumn day, just cruising the river, cold drinks and cameras in hand.

WHICH ROUTE 9 EXACTLY DO YOU NEED

by moiraistyx

So once you travel outside of NYC, you are gonna need a car. Mostly the highways are rather easy to navigate, that is until you reach the hudson valley. Once here you had better make sure you have the route 9 that you want. On any given day, I travel on 3 of the route 9's, that is 9W, 9G and 9. There is also 9D, 9N ecetera. So if you stop for directions and someone tells ya, head on out over to route 9 ask which one or else you could land yourself on over in no man's land with an empty tank of gas.

traffic spotter

by davecallahan

This website link gives you a glimpse at the traffic in various major highways in New York.There is a map of the state with little icons indicating video cameras. You click on one of those cameras in an area of interest and it shows a close-up map of the cameras in that area.Click on one of the camera icons in the close-up map and you get a snapshot of the traffic in that area 5 minutes ago.http://www3.travelinfony.com/carsgoogle/

NY city bus

by SKMARH

Enter a city bus only with coins. 2$ in coins only to be dropped in. No changes given. If you have only dollar bill you will be asked to get down. (my experience).Routes with prefix H or B or M denotes buses to or from HARLEM BROOKLYN AND MANHATTAN respectively.

Subway and footing it are the best ways to go!

by MissMargaret

I walked all the way from S. Central Park to Soho in about thirty minutes with no trouble. And the Subways run in easy to understand routes. I had a book that had maps of each section of the city and I easily Navigated and learned my way around very quickly. I even stopped using the maps by the end of my stay. I would suggest getting one of the books I used. they are called NotForTourists and they have transportation guides, maps, dining guides and shopping. The subway and walking are the cheapest. Taxis are pretty expensive becuase traffic is very congested and will take a longer time therefore charging you more. But if the weather is bad and you cant get to the subway entrance or get lost or something go for it.

JFK Airport

by ArenJo

The airports in the NYC city are awful, but this one is the worst. Expect to sit on the ground in the plane for hours, bring reading material. Don't give the flight attendant a hard time, he/she can't make the plane get off the ground any faster. However, it is acceptable to ask for water or a snack if you would make you more comfortable.
