parking is a nuisance in NYC but if you plan on staying at a hotel they ll usually have a parking garage where you can park your car...if you don t want to take a car, take a bus or train... both will land you in grand central station... the subways are pretty easy to use... since it s your first time just don t use the subways to get some place in a hurry... they have maps all over of the lines and the areas they cover.. take your time and they should make sense to you too...the best train line for you will be the 1 or the 9... these trains will take you straight up and down broadway (under it of course)... you can stop at 34th and broadway to see madison square garden, or 42nd to see times square, 50th to see the park and east side apartment buildings,113th to see where they filmed some of the seinfeld episodes... the best pizza in town is at a place called coronets pizza... it s near the corner of 113th and broadway.... columbia university is located at 116th and broadway....plan on doing a lot of walking...
