I'll try to offer a suggestion if you give me any idea what you like
to do on special occasions. Also, are you referring to one day of the
6 as a special occasion, or all 6 being a special occasion? How much
do you want to spend?

What's "pol friendly," by the way?

Hi

Thanks for the reply...

"pol" is my late night mispelling for Pool (as in swimming).

It's the wife's 40th so really a good day and evening is what I am
after (bearing in mind the 2 teenage boys are in tow)

Many thanks

You haven't given me more relevant specifics. What do you and your
wife like to do, and what do your sons like to do?

A good place to stay would be the new "Embassy Suites Hotel" at Battery
Park City just one block from the World Trade Center site, next to the
River Hudson and opposite New Jersey. You can walk to the ferries for
Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, South Street Seaport & shops
(similar to Covent Garden), nearby parks, the Wall St financial district
and easy access on foot to Chinatown, Little Italy, SoHo etc. It's a
great location and friends of my sister who stayed there said that the
hotel is very spacious (unlike most NYC hotel rooms which are usually
very small) and superbly appointed. Of interest to teenagers there is
also an 11-screen cinema adjacent (films usuallycome out in the US
before they do in the UK) and a large sports centre in the hotel (but
not a pool - just like London few hotels in NYC actually have a pool as
property prices per square foot are astronomical in Manhatten).



The concierge at the hotel can advise on the nearest place for public
swimming baths - but to be honest, it's really not essential to have a
pool when in New York for just a few days.



You can get unbiased reviews of the "Embassy Suites Hotel" or virtually
any NYC, US or Canadian hotel at this website if you type in the hotel
name and city: http://www.tripadvisor.com



As for things to do then I guess you could take your wife to see a
Broadway show on her birthday or for a nice meal at a trendy restuarant
(but you will need to book ahead for a popular place in NYC. Some
popular restuarents are fully booked for weeks beforehand - plus if you
arrive more than 15 mins late you've lost your table as you're deemed a
'no-show'). Good places with great reputations and wonderful food
include Balthazar, the Redeye Grill, Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Cafe,
Le Cirque 2000, Becco....too many to list here. You can get ideas of
what's on he



http://www.timeoutny.com



http://www.nycvisit.com



http://www.opentable.com ( This is a *free of charge*
direct booking with most of the top/popular NYC restaurants. Just do
some googling for the names of some of the restaurants in NY and you
will see reviews - the Zagat guide is like a 'bible' for eating out in
NY and is online.



Enjoy!

Without knowing the slightest thing about your interests, its
not possible to make specific recommendations. Do a web search
and you'll find tons of ideas on things to see and do in NYC.

How about dinner at a nice restaurant for just you and your wife while
you let your teenagers attend a show or a movie? Without knowing anything
about your interests or budget, that's about all I can suggest.

In New York, as with any major tourist destination, the larger the
hotel room - the greater the cost. There are family friendly hotels in
New York. But, I don't know what you mean by Pol Friendly? Polish?
Political? Polly as in Parrot? Polished

I stayed in the Skyline Hotel on 10th Ave and 49th street
and it has decent sized rooms and a pool. The rooms
appeared to have been recently renovated and the location
isnt bad.

Rooms are fine, servce too. Food great and cheaper than home. Go to Empire
St. Build'g on day 1, you'll get all the gen you need on the groundfloor
desk, also hotel staff are very helpful. Have fun, best wishes, Norlin.
