If I could give one word of advice for visiting New York it would be LOOK UP!!
One can get carried away with the hustle and bustle of the crowds pushing you to and fro, trying to get to your destination that you could miss the beauty that is New York. I learned quickly to look at the incredible architecture the fine craftsmen have created. It seemed everywhere you went there was beauty, if only you looked up. I often wondered if the locals knew what a beautiful city they lived in or do they ignore it as they rush to work.
There was a mix up at the hotel or first night. They assigned us to a smoking room. This was definitely going to be a problem because 2 of my sisters are pregnant. As we tried to correct the mistake we learned that the hotel was sold out and that we would have to use that room for the night but they assured us an upgrade (the 42 floor of 43 floors) and nonsmoking room for the following day. For our trouble they offered us some free breakfast coupons. We had no choice but to agree. As we went down the next morning to collect our breakfast coupons we were happily surprised to receive 12 free breakfasts. After we ate and got our check for we were even more happy about the coupons because breakfast for 5 people came out to be $130. It pays to complain NICELY. I think if we were not gracious they would not have been as giving as they were.
We stayed at the Hilton in Times Square. It was perfectly located for us with the subway hub less than a block away. Thanks Jared for the fabulous hotel!!!!
