Navigating Manhattan
For most people traveling to a new city, getting around safely and easily is often a concern. If you’re in your Manhattan discount hotel and want to get around, here’s what Lonely Planet has to say about doing just that, “Most of Manhattan is extremely easy to navigate, thanks to a grid system of named or numbered avenues running the north-south length of the island, cut across by numbered streets that run from east to west. Above Washington Square, Fifth Ave and Central Park serve as the dividing line between the East Side and the West Side. Cross-street numbers begin at Fifth Ave and grow higher toward each river, generally (but not exclusively) in 100-digit increments per block. Broadway, the only avenue to cut diagonally across the island, was originally a woodland path; it runs in some form from the southern tip of the island all the way to the state capital of Albany, 240km (150mi) away.”
Catching a taxi, the subway, a city bus, or renting a car at your Manhattan discount hotel will get you to where you want to go. Be sure to get a map of Manhattan if you plan to drive, and do some research to find out where the best places are for fine dining, as well as some cafes for a quick soup and sandwich.
