New York in January

Are you going to celebrate the advent of socialism? I will never step foot in that city again.

transportation around the city isnt cheap.

As long as you stick to the Subway & Bus, you'll spend no more than $35 on transportation for the week. We usually stay in the UWS near the 72nd St Station. There's an express train that gets you to TS in about 5 mins.

At least once a year I feel obligated to make the post that the NYC experience is so much better when you are willing to walk a bit and take the train or bus, unless its just horrible weather or really late at night.

While I totally understand getting a car service from the airport with luggage and a large group, last month I set a personal record of 44 minutes from sitting at the bar in Moynihan Train Hall to catching the E train to Roosvelt, then Q70 free bus to LGA, to getting through security and walking in the Amex Lounge. That trip at 5 pm would have taken 1.5 hours in a car, maybe longer. Its rare to have that level of timing, even waiting 1 train and 1 bus it still would have been less than an hour.
