I dont think I have ever seen a 99c store in NYC.
Do you mind me asking where you usual go for vintage shops? Is there an area you found had good vintage shops ?
I would like to find some when i go again later in year. Last year went a fab vintage jewelry shop in Chelsea, we must have spend an hour in there got a couple of presents and something for myself of course

I normally go over to Williamsburg for vintage shopping, the places in Manhattan I found not to be too great
What was the shop in Chelsea? My hotel is near there!

didn't do radio city tour but went there . Iconic place with bags of history .Havent done the Apollo and regret that more Just been too difficult to sort the time to get there and give it time it deserves. East Coast American Music is a big part of my life and who i am from early jazz and blues & with the Italian and jewish cultures. From a early childhood my memories of NYC had music all around it some great artists some memorable times (off to stick my Simon and Garfunkle L/P on the Grammer phone)

The new yorker is in a great area for first timer to stay for tourist attractions such asMacys,Times Sq and Empire state its all very close. Also if you ever get lost you just have to look up and look for the big new yorker red sign an you know which way to go.Lol
Heres a coloured map of all the different areas of NY and on the left it gives you 6 tourist attractions numbered on the map. I printed this map off an taken it with me on my first visit, better in colours I thought when you dont know:

The new yorker is the pale blue ' Midtown west' section.
Also just to check did you see my reply to your post about kettle in new yorker hotel a few weeks back? Just checking as you wont need to bring one with you, more space for shopping;)

some great personal locations to see Joe Strummer so many memories CBGBs had many tributes to Blondie My Favorite "punk" Bowery Ballromm is going strong.
Just google New Yorker it will come up witha google map next to it CLICK on to it then zoom in and out to get areas and zoom in a bit more to see what your by.
New Yorker is a good central location a little south of Midtown right ontop of Penn station and Maddison Square Gardens Macys and ESB are all within 5 minutes walk and about 6 or 7 blocks south of Times Square Enjoy NYC
