seriously, i can really only tour guide bars and pubs!

Doubt anyone is complaining about that!

To honest, now I have done the tourist stuff im really not that bothered, would rather just hang out and walk around all day.

Mark, have you ever been to the slipper room?

Hey Guys,

Spent the last couple of hours reading through both (new and old) threads. I am going to NY in April so its great using this wealth of info to make sure me and the OH have the best time possible. I know a few people have commented about the New York Pass but not many have stated their opinions (if its worth the money, any hassle etc). Its alot of money ($149 - 7 days) so wanted to be certain before I buy one and where better to find out

I will no doubt spend the rest of the evening searching best pubs etc etc. Thanks M for putting all this togeather!

Have not used this but I do recommend getting the unlimited week underground card. Was very handy and you just swipe and go!

I am also going in April and I have got New York Passes for all four of us (two adults two kids) They have been recommended to me by several friends. They arrive with a great little book with all the details of which attractions they apply to (almost everything!) and I worked out that in just half a dozen venues we have got out money's worth. Plus, you can do all of the attractions each day, do if you really wanted to you could go up the ESB 7 times in the week! LOL

Hell yes. That was the night my face got serenaded by a man with a huge afro and a huge yamaha keyboard on the tube.

Yep I'm also happy with a guided tour of NY bars

I can help you lot run it off in the morning - running was invented to cure hangovers...

I'm sad most of my subway experiences were relatively normal - but then when you're the one in the bright pink coat, grey tights, ear muffs and holding a hand muff people tend to leave you alone
