If you had one 10 hour slot in NYC what woud you do?

I have ten hours from 9 pm till 7am on the 9th.

Arrange my evening Phers!!!

[poing]

Get mugged in Central Park, then run over by a taxi. If still able to eat maybe a hot dog from one of the street vendors.

Just the normal boring stuff really.

How safe is it at 2am?

I'm told it'll be fine but I was hoping for some insider knowledge!!!

Can you pop over to my place and baby sit for me? I will even pay you the going rate. Then I could finally have a night out with the wife.

Just thought I would ask as my family is 3k miles away back in England.

Thanks.

you not got one of those hot teenage (over 16 of course!) cheerleaders that are in all the films to babysit for you? That would be one of my main reasons for living in the states!

Get drunk here: http://www.hotelgansevoort.com/ on the roof terrace and pool.

Watch out for the cocktails, pretty darn potent.

Is this 10hrs between flights (A stop over at JFK)?

I don't know what films you've been watching, but don't they normally come with an axe wielding maniac?

Yes well a kick to the nuts will sort he axe wielding maniac out, then its kinky time with the cheerleader

This is the most important question....

[RosscoPCole]

If it is 10 hours between flights is that arrival to departure time?

That would be paedephilia in the US......there is an app on the iPhone where you can track registered sex pests. I don't want to make an appearance on it.

I appreciate the consideration but I just moved from Hoboken which is on the Hudson river and is a good night out up to West Orange which is about 20 miles away from NYC. My house is in a nature reservation so the only action you are likely to see is deer fornicating.

I arrive at 9pm, depart at 7.40 am.

Last minute booking (9am, departed 12.45pm that day) so just got the best I could.

I type this from the Cayman Islands whilst I enjoy a local pint of white fin lager.....

Book yourself in for a meal here: http://www.theviewnyc.com/.
Take in the sights and sounds of Times Square at night.
Find a bar somewhere nearby, possibly take a cab over to one of the decent hotels on Park or Lexington Avenues.

Doubt you'd get to Manhattan much before 22.30, and you'll need to be back at the airport for 06.00-ish, so leaving Manhattan 05.00-05.30 (assuming JFK, but not tooo much difference if elsewhere). Narrows the options a little if you want a bit of kip as well.

Top of the Rock is open at that time. You go to the top of the Rockefeller building and get IMO better views of the city than the empire state building. On your way into the city you can get food from Peter Lugers where the last seating is 9:45PM.

In a city that is meant to never sleep the bars close at 4AM. I can't really help with bar hopping ideas because I am still in need of a baby sitter. But, i used to drink in Pastis in Meat packing which is not a blow you away super bar but is a decent place to get a drink.

Manhattan is ridiculously safe, don't sweat it.

II'd be partially inclined to rent a muscle car for the night and run all of the tunnels.
