We went there for supper and it was fantastic.

Hey everyone, I'm off to NYC in 2 weeks, very excited. Now sorting out what we are going to do whilst we are out there and thinking of getting a pass, been looking at newyorkpass.com, has anyone any experience of booking one of these or would purchasing tickets for the attractions individually be better?

Hi everyone,
really excited as possibly booking my first trip to new york for the end of September next year.
We are looking to stay at the Radisson Martinique on Broadway, anyone stayed there before? It's got a special offer on so with Expedia for 4 nights im looking at around £605pp with return flights using BA. However this brings me to another point... should I book with BA! What if they collapse! Not sure what to do..

Curiously I was recently looking at the raddison for a trip in june and thus far all the reports on tripadvisor have been good.

Some major pluses are the closeness of the subway, its about 20 foot from the entrance, and the closeness to macy's, which my good lady insists on spending far to much time in.

However we have decided to go to the Sheraton as they have a pool and are a tad cheaper overall.

On the BA front if you arent sure make sure you pay with a credit card but in all reality BA probably arent gonna go out of buis anytime soon.

I've booked my trip! Flying with Virgin Atlantic instead but the prices were the cheapest I've seen them since I've been looking into going, thanks to the Jan sales.

Now I'm a bit worried though. My boyfriend looks completely different to his passport pic. On his pic he has long hair, glasses and a crooked nose. It was 8 years ago and now he has short hair, no glasses and since had an operation on his nose! I've never been outside the EU... are US immigration much more stricter and will he get stopped? He doesn't have a biometric passport like I do. He's saying it will be fine but I panic about the smallest of things!
