Heading to the States in 3 weeks and will have a 24hr stop over in NY. Staying somewhere in Manhatten for the night. Arrive at 3pm on the Sat and leave at 5pm on the Sun (26hrs, sorry Clubman). Any ideas of what is feasable for me to do in that timescale? I dont want to just sit in a bar - i could do that at home.
Theres an awful lot to see. Where do you arrive at '3pm' ? At the airport or at your accomodation ? Where is the accomodation located ? Is it on Manhattan next to a subway? How tired +will you be when you arrive ? (based on time since last sleeping before the packing etc). The subway runs all night. How many hours do you want to stay out after arriving ? You may want some sleep before your connecting flight. I'm assuming you may have to return to the airport for a connecting flight ? Basically how many hours can you allocate to seeing and experiencing Manhattan ?
Would you be looking for somewhere to eat , shopping or to do some fast sightseeing ? +I was in the exact same situation as yourself, waiting for a connecting flight last month except my bed wasnt slept in as New York has so much to see!
did u stay out all night and where was open??
Well 'city that never sleeps' and all that!
The free ferry to Staten Island is an easy way of getting a river 'cruise'.
It can be an eye-opener too - all sorts of lifeforms on that ferry!
Yeah, i'm of the "leave the sleeping til i get home" attitude. I'm game for anything to be honest. Maybe some sleazy jazz club. I like the idea of the empire state at midnight. Not too pushed about restaurants - i wouldnt be a foodie. Dont know yet where exactly the hotel is - was just told its in Manhatten. NY Rangers are playing on the sat that i'm there - love to get tickets for that.
I'd agree with Caveat...Grenwich Village is very cool. Apart from that I'd stay around the Park. Grab a show and do some shopping and you can't go too wrong!
I wasnt under pressure to see everything in my 20 hours there as I had lived and worked there previously so had already seen everything.did u stay out all night and where was open??

This time I just went to 42nd street and had a wander, bought some clothes suitable for the humidity, and called into my favorite Japanese fast food restaurant Yoshinoya on 42nd street next to the subway and all the bright lights.

Then hit a few bars with a friend whos lived there for 4 years and just got married over there. Clubwise/Barwise where you go depends on the night of the week but theres always somewhere to go. 103 and Broadway has a few dive bars which can be a lot of fun.
If you havent been to New York before then a different plan is in order methinks...

They only have a day, a show is a waste of shopping/sightseeing time.
