If you're wanting discount shopping, get a bus up to Woodbury Common mall, oh yes please 
More alternative style shops to be found on St Mark's place, east side. |

| The cab rank at the airport is a very organised place, if you tell the guy at the front of the queue the name of your hotel he'll print a little ticket with your fare on it so there's no chance of the the cabby scamming you. It should be about 45 bucks to midtown I think.

Cool. Thanks for all the info! I was talking to someone at work today and they suggested I take the ferry to Staten Island if I want to see the Statue of Liberty. Apparently you get a good view. Quote:

go to the intrepid air museum thing on the aircraft carrier on the hudson, really good, go to a comedy show in some back street club, go to the seinfeld restaurant if your a fan of the show.
the UN building tour isnt great and china town is bollocks as are 99% of china towns all over the world | |

Starting to plan things now and someone suggested a New York Pass. Its $130 for 7 days and gives u access to all the main attractions. Anyone ever bought one and if so is it worth the money? | |
