First time Travelling to NYC? need help

Me and my wife are travelling to NYC in November 09, if some one can help me with the questions below i would appriciated very much, thanks in advance.

  1. My hotel is in area of flushing close to shea stadium, i am not renting a car, is that a good choice? can we travel everywhere via subway? and how costly are the cabs?.

  2. Things to do in NYC and good places to eat halal food desi or non desi?

  3. Is there a chance for us to get lost? and what is the best way to avoid getting lost?

  4. How cold will be the weather in mid November?

Welcome to NY.

Here are my two cents for each question:

  1. As long as you are not going to any other state from NY, not renting a car is a good idea. You can totally roam around NYC in subway/mta trains etc. Cabs may be costly if you are going too far and if you use them heavily otherwise few visits in cabs dont matter that much.

  2. Visit following links, that may help.

About halal food help, there are plenty in nearby your hotel area. But you may have to take subway/metro for that.
Just go through zabihah.com - your guide to halal eating and that will do it all for you.

  1. Hmm… You are coming from Dallas, so I dont think you can get lost. The best way to avoid this? Get an iphone.
    Else, take a map of that area and subways. Thats it.

  2. It will be cold enough to wear a thick jacket and cover up before you go out. But hopefully no snow.

Enjoy you stay man, good luck.

Re: First time Travelling to NYC? need help

Past few days have been so mild. Tonight I was out in jeans and t-shirt! People wearing shorts.

Thanks for your advice i will definatly look into that.
