As for taking "kids" into bars is a big no no sorry foodies where you sit at the table is ok and get served (we had a good evening in Lucilles Grill ate around 7 oclock and still there with kids and a few drinks after 10ish listening to a good band then we left without being asked. Plus went to a Irish bar to watch the !!!! on afternoon spoke to the barman had a few drinks told him i would be back with my son to watch Liverpool the next day. Turned up completely forgot the 21 year rule (my son doesnt drink hes 17 and in a wheelchair)both in reds shirts and he turned us away the sod .Had to stand by the door at NASDAQ but we won think it was barca.:D

Thanks everyone for answering my queries.
Now I know the Beast won't be operating, that takes care of that, as for MSG, we'll look into any sport that might be on and make a decision as to whether we visit or not.
Breakfast, thanks to those who've answered, very helpful and I'm sure we will find somewhere close by, I always have a good breakfast when on holiday, especially when we'll be doing a lot of walking. We can have lunch when we're hungry and I'm sure we'll find somewhere nice.
As for the smoking, whereas some people may think all smokers are inconsiderate, I try my hardest to be considerate, I will be respectful of my surroundings and others and will dispose of my butts appropriately.
I think it'll be a booked car or a cab from the airport, although I will look up details posted on the return bus service as someone has kindly posted them.
Thanks again

Hi

Only me again....

How about the Howard Johnson in Long Island? It's further away, but is only a couple of stops in the subway. Expedia have a room for £531

Yup more than enough time your journey is going to be 20 to 25 mins on the subway

Depends how much your time is worth. £100 isn't worth the extra travelling. Think about this. You've finished sightseeing for the day. you go back to your hotel, to drop off purchases, and then you get showered and changed. You have enough energy now for a night out.

But then you realise there isn't anything near your hotel, and you have at least a 30 minute subway ride.

Hmm....

I'd still re assess your budget and stay in Manhattan, it's as simple as that, your budget was too small for a decent NYC stay.

there are loads of small steps to get up to crown so make sure you have a decent brekkie.
