I answer you quickly but will make a little package for you, info, maps, coupons, etc. Is this in August?
- one bus/subway tkt is $2.25 transfer between them within 1 hour, if it's between bus and bus should be in perpendicular direction or different directions not same bus downtown and same uptown. Easy.
- if you buy a $10 or $20 metro card they give you extra cents or $1.21 (peanuts) as a bonus. Can use same card for more people and it takes the fee or gives the transfer for each one. There are deals for 1 day pass good if you plan to go more than 5 times one day. Buy at any subway entrance.
- walking is the best thing. Mighty crowded where you stay, but that's Midtown's definition
- rule of thumb: 10 blocks = 10 minutes (a lot more for window shopping and photo). 20 blocks = 1 mile. We walk A LOT here. For me personally, the average day I walk at least 4 miles just to do my things.
- from where you are , 30' to Central Park not rushing
- you'll be by the Empire State Bldg (34th street)
- walk Uptown on 6th Ave to Bryant Park and Fifth Ave, Public Library (go inside)
- could certainly walk all the way Downtown, very pleasant on Bway or Fifth Ave and stumble upon Flatiron Bldg (Stieglitz). You can walk uptown on Bway also and see Lincoln Center @ 64th str.
The beauty is to discover and walk the streets. Walk up on Madison from 50th str for fashion.
A LOT to see Downtown.
Go on Google and put the address and look around (the views are a bit old with a lot of contructions) but you get a feeling. |
