Setting Standards (New York Sessions 1983) - Keith Jarrett & Gary Peacock & Jack Dejohnette

New York, New York

Advantages: Fabulous shopping, bargains, great sights
Disadvantages: You will be tired and have foot pain at the end of the trip

there is more than four people in your group you're going to need two taxis and obviously that will double your cost. The ride into the city doesn't take long and I have to say that when we emerged from the Lincoln Tunnel into Manhattan it was everything I expected and more. Hundreds of yellow cabs, honking horns, loud noises and that was only one street in. We arrived at our hotel - the Milford Plaza on Eighth Avenue - and checked in quickly. By this time the jet lag was starting to set in a bit so we just went for a walk outside the hotel and found something to eat. One of my first memories of New York was walking down the road and seeing a fire engine come out of a firehouse and speed down the road, with passers by cheering and clapping them as they went. This was in March 2004, two and a half years after 9/11, and it was ...

Review of New York City

The perfect location in New York

Advantages: Brilliant location, modern, big room, huge TV, one of the cheapest hotels
Disadvantages: Breakfast is expensive, toilet blocked a couple of times, not enough lifts

The Park Central Hotel New York is in a brilliant location on 56th and 7th right in the centre of everything. A 10 minute walk downtown brings you to Times Square, 2 blocks uptown takes you to Central Park, 5th Avenue shopping is just 1 or 2 blocks to the east and a subway station 20 seconds away to take you to wherever else you want to go. Carnegie Hall is directly opposite and the Rockefeller Centre is less than 10 minutes away. The hotel is surrounded by gift shops and cafes and there's a nice little Irish bar just opposite. The location really couldn't get any better. When we first arrived it was difficult for us for find but that was only because we didn't have a map with us and because the grid system is so confusing at first. We were walking up and down for about 20 minutes until we eventually came across it at practically ...

Review of Park Central, New York City

New York, New York!!

Advantages: Fantastic city, great sights and landmarks, shops!
Disadvantages: You may emigrate!!

! ***Empire State Building*** Of course, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to the Empire State Building, which is the most famous building in New York, if not the world. It rises up more than a quarter of a mile high and has become famous even more so over the past few decades with films such as King Kong and Sleepless in Seattle, using it as part of their backdrop/set. We had to queue outside for about half an hour, which wasn't too bad as I have heard that sometimes you can have a wait of about an hour and a half! Tickets cost about $20 (I can't remember the exact amount as my boyfriend paid) to take us up to the 86th floor. The lift zoomed up and took only a few seconds and then we stepped out onto the Observatory. We were lucky that on the day we decided to go, there were very clear skies and there was a sign saying ...
