“ Had a great time! Really happy the rain stayed away... ” -
“ As always NYC is a great excursion. Times Square was off the hook, they have now open several blocks for pedestrians only. It was high energy and a wonderful atomsphere. Of course we were all dog tired by noon on Sunday. ” -
Founding Member“ "We few, we happy few..." - William Shakespeare, Henry V There were only four of us, but I had a wonderful time with Natasha, Pablo and Marilyn! The weather report got progressively worse as the weekend approached, with Friday morning's forecast ominous prediction of a Manhattan Monsoon for our excursion. Just before noon Saturday, it did start to rain, but as soon as Natasha and Pablo emerged from the W72nd Street subway station, it all stopped, and we had no rain for the rest of the day (heckuva job, Natasha!,) and Sunday was downright gorgeous! ” -

Marilyn, if you want some company, Natasha and I are taking the 7 am Greyhound bus from DC on Saturday morning.
Steve, I booked a room at Hotel Riverside based on your suggestion.
Is anybody going up on the bus?
I should add about the Travel Inn Hotel - it's on 42nd street near the Hudson River - not as nice as Upper West Side, but it's really not bad at all. Also, it's only a few blocks from the Intrepid (aircraft carrier/museum) at 45th street on the Hudson.
Here's a hotel to take a look at: Travel Inn Hotel 515 W 42nd St - it's $99 a night and apparently has FREE PARKING!!
I wish I had noticed this one earlier ;-)
Here's the Hotels.com link: http://www.hotels.com/hotel/details.html?pointName&re...
Is anyone staying overnight? I've booked a single at Hotel Riverside Studios, 342 West 71st Street.
This is a pretty bare-bones place, but very inexpensive for Manhattan ($75/night plus taxes) and it's in a very nice neighborhood.
One caution... there are no individual bathrooms in each room, but several shared bathrooms on each floor. For those used to hostels or "Europe-on-$20-a-Day," Hotel Riverside will probably be downright luxurious ;-) but just be advised.
