I don't know either of you but traffic can vary greatly. Telling
someone there wouldn't be a problem isn't at all helpful.

I said that, if the traffic is right, it could be done. That's all.
I didn't say it wouldn't be a problem.

Just being your usual weasel-like self?

The Fulton street subway station was a short walk away, and the Brooklyn
Bridge/City Hall station was a little bit further. Great late night
cheap food was a ten minute walk away in Chinatown, and then you could
continue walking to the Lower East Side and on to Union Square. When the
new 2nd Avenue subway line is complete there will be an even closer
subway station.

You are advised not to book vacations in advance on the expectation
there will be a 2nd Ave subway station nearby.

I would hope that people wouldn't base their hotel decision on an
assumption that traffic wouldn't be bad.

Yes, Slim. For Oct 26 to 31 (to avoid Halloween and NY Marathon), Affinia
Manhattan 3 star at W54@Broadway is $180 per night. But our daughters stayed
there this *July for a week, and they told us this hotel is not clean and
quite filthy.

Geez, you'd think for that money the room would be clean and nice.

Of course, a Holiday Inn in Mt. Kisco is $150/night, so I guess $180
for Manhattan is quite cheap.

{IIRC, in Barefoot in the Park they were staying at the Plaza for $25/
night. I don't think inflation since that movie came out has been
what the Plaza would charge today.)

I just did a search for 2 weekends from now. Starts at $613 a night.

-smo (the 2-bedroom suite is somewhat more)

And in any case, he's wrong. I used to live on 59th st. and 9th.
Avenue, and I work on Chambers, and my work mandated that I have my
car at the job. I guarantee you that (1) the West Side Highway is not
the fastest way downtown at any time of day, and (2) not even the
fastest route will get you from 34th street to Chambers St. in 5
minutes (unless you're including helicopters, of course).

The Affina Manhattan is on the corner of 31st Street and Seventh Avenue.

Midtown covers more ground than 59th Street. It goes as far down as
the upper thirties IIRC. That's a mile from 59th Street.

What time did you drive to and from work?

OK thanks, Hitshow.com enter with AAA membership number.
But they do not have Wicked.
Since you are an AAA member and from San Francisco, check out page 13
in the Setp-Oct 2009 issue of VIA. "AAA members save up to $30" on
Orchestra, Loge, and Mezzanine tickets to performances of "Wicked" at
the Orpheum Theatre.

Thank for response. But this Wicked is SF show. Not NYC Broadway show.
One of our wish is to see "Wicked" in Broadway, the real thing, we suppose.
However, you are right, if we missed it while we are in NYC, then, we
probably go downtown SF, if BART do not keep calling strike.
