TNL Across America: New York City 2008

I need to figure out our stomping ground so I can get a hotel around it.

If I could afford medication I wouldn't be this way.

7. Bars, bitches, and food

Por favor. I may be up for some sight seeing if I get there early enough on Friday.

No worries. I am a bit tentative on booking a show anyway, as Josh's specialists have referred him to other specialists regarding his wrist and elbow problems. If he ends up having to have surgery or something like that, we may not be able to play anway. Hook me up with a list though...if we don't do one for the NYC get-together, we will do one some other time when Josh is back in full force we wouldn't have him any other way

Astoria is your hood? When I'm home, I go to Astoria 3x a week.


I just read this entire thread.

I am down for Hungry Hungry Hippos at Biff's place. I'll wear my "honestly I was never that hungry hungry" tshirt.

I recall earlier in this thread that people recommended travelers to not come to NYC via JFK because of the cost to reach Manhattan.

I must advise that there is a cheap way to get from JFK to Penn Station if you don't mind a little walking. From JFK, you take the AirTrain to Jamaica station. That costs $5 dollars that is paid after you get off the train and approach a Metrocard machine. It's about a two-to-three minute walk from the stop to the machine.

At the Jamaica LIRR tracks, you can buy an off-peak ticket to Penn Station for $5.25 before you ride the train. If you decide to buy the ticket on the train, it will cost you $10.00.

This path is ideal if you're not carrying a lot of luggage and you don't mind a little walk. I've done it many times when I needed to fly somewhere, and the total time it takes to get from JFK to Penn is one hour.

1/2 of TNL is going to follow this and end up incredibly lost!
