Something Important to remember (I learned the hard way) Cell phones do not work on the metro so remember
A C F JAY STREET STOP
Those are the trains that stop on the back corner of the hotel. A&C are BLUE LINE. F is BROWN i believe.
F trains on maps are orange lines. Also, while this seems to have turned into the Newly Acclimated Newyork Olfactory Glee list, I'll chime in: Bereket... ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/bereket-turkish-kebab-house-new-york ) 187 E Houston (pronounced HOW-STON, not like the city in Texas, also aka 0th street) at Orchard street, right across the Williamsburg bridge in Manhattan ...has the best lamb kebabs I've ever had in my life, despite having grown up in the Metro Detroit area (which has a huge middle eastern population and tons of associated restaurants). They're open 24 hours and are easily my favorite restaurant in the tastiest-food category in the entire United States. Other POIs of interest to nanogers: Datavision on 5th avenue near 40th street (Manhattan) has saved me in a pinch when I've needed multimode cables (still dunno where to buy smf at a retail shop in nyc). Have fun in New York, it's my favorite city in America - I'd be there myself to play tour guide with everyone except I'm in ORD at the moment preparing for a transatlantic move for the summer (I'm coming back to NY in the fall). Most importantly, get out and roam around! Touristy things that everyone should see at least once: Herald Square (appx 34th st/6th ave) Times Square (~42s-49s, along 7a) Union Square (14s/4a) New York Harbor from Battery Park (take the 1 train in Manhattan all the way south to South Ferry, the last stop. Make sure you're in the first five front cars of the train. Get out, walk past the coast guard/dhs to the park, and go down to the water.) Good luck, -jp -- -------------------------------------------------------- Rev.
