What are the best things to do in the East Village? -

Coming to New York--we re a little bit hipster-ish and artsy. I d love to listen to some live music or see some performances. Always up for some good food, coffee and atmosphere. Any must-go s?

If you re hipsterish and artsy, then Williamsburg Brooklyn is good too. Lots of bars, lounges, live music venues, shopping and restaurants. L train to Bedford ave.

Should I move to New York? -

I was thinking about applying to NYU for their engineering program(civil engineering) but I m unsure whether I can make it in New York or not.

I d say go for it - NY is a great place, with lots of diversity. And despite the fact that there s a stereotype of NYers being tough, people here are generally pretty nice, and very helpful.I d suggest checking out other schools as well, though - NYU is extremely expensive, and I think there are cheaper schools that are excellent engineering schools (I m not an expert, but I think Polytech specializes in engineering?).

What do you mean by make it ? (Don t tell me you are thinking of that silly song if I can make it there... Oy vey!)NYU is a good school in the middle of Greenwich Village, a lovely, part of town that you could not afford to live in if you were not in a dorm. You will have no trouble making it there (whatever that means) as long as you are not trying to:1) Get involved in insider trading.2) Become a star of stage, screen, tv, rock music, or modeling.3) Become a drug kingpin.If you are just here to study engineering, you should make it just fine! Sheesh! What do you think NYC is???? A constant contest?

Try it, if you don t like it move somewhere else. That is the beauty of America you can go where you can afford.

Its busy and you have get use to mean people but new york is the best city in the world so I think you should go there.

No.

If u have the money, then ur great! Good luck!

its just busy and $$

Im travelling to new york alone and scared!? -

hi everyone, im a 25 yr old female from brisbane and in 3 weeks i depart on a US holiday. im going to be with a contiki tour group for 99% of the trip,but i do have 3 days prior to the start of the tour in NYC alone! im freaking out being in such a big,busy place by myself. anyone got any tips? i already figure i wont go out at night(unfortunately). thanks heaps for ur help.also what is must-see/must-do in NY apart from the obvious liberty island, central park etc...also what denominations of money are quarters(25c i suppose) nickels and dimes??ta much:)

Hello! NYC is a wonderful city! I ve lived here 20 yrs and I love it!I do understand your apprehension, since most folks only know the Apple from what they see in the news and movies, but it is not any different from any large city! As far as safety is concerned, simply exercise the same practice you d use in any busy urban area, such as Sydney and Melbourne.Now to your next question, what to do in the city... What isn t in New York would be a shorter list!In Queens you ve got things like the Botanical gardens, the Museum of Science, Museum of the moving image. In Brooklyn, there s the Brooklyn Zoo, Museum of Art, the boardwalk and more... Staten Island and the Bronx have many things to do and places to visit and of course Manhattan has more things to do than I could begin to list!Our money is simple enough, the paper denominations you ll most likely handle are: $1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. Coin denominations are: Pennies (1 cent)Nickels (5 cents)Dimes (10 cents) Quarters (25 cents)You might get the occasional $1 coin.Once you arrive, I think you ll find this city much friendlier than you might have expected! I d be happy to have an email correspondence to answer more specific questions!

I m from the UK and I feel safer in NY than I do here. It s a lovely place. The first time I visited I thought it was going to be scarey like the movies and was so pleasantly suprised. Just be careful as you would at home and don t go wandering off into any unsuitable areas. I felt quite safe at night in the touristy areas - it s mostly tourists. The shops will be fully decorated for Christmas so you need to do some serious shopping. Enjoy the hussle and bussle of NY, you will be fine.

Try the bus tours, they are fun.Try one of these companies..http://www.citysightsny.comhttp://www.newyorksightseeing.com/

New York is among the safest of America s large cities and crimes against tourists are taken VERY seriously. The most likely crime that you could fall victim to is buying counterfeit or defective goods. Stay away from designer goods sold by people who can t spell Gucci.America s monetary system is 100% metric so you will not have to deal with peculiar denominations such as shillings, ha pennies, tuppence, crowns or sovereigns as I did when I visited Ireland during the early 70 s just as they were transitioning from one monetary system to another.Please take a look at some of the links below for things to do in New York:http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��You will have a wonderful time.

Would nt worry.A little common sense willl get you by.Its nothing like the movies ..good or bad.Would not miss an evening outWould get onto the net before you arrive use the hotel resources for places to go things to see.NYC is easy to get around if you take it in small bites.Might just find a small club or cafe in or near your hotel.Always recommend the smaller cafes restaurants the street food from the carts.Not an official visit unless you have a NY hot dog, a big hot NY pretzelMoney is the easy part.About the only thing that is base ten.Quarters are 25 cents= 1/4 dollar, Dimes are 10 cents = 1/10 dollar , nickels are 5 cents = 1/20 dollar.Being a young lady , treat yourself to a trip to Tiffany s , a famous fancy jewelry storethat has some affordable things for regular people .Would not miss the museums , most are near Central Park,..The Guggenheim Metropolitan museums of art the Museum of Natural History Planetarium.all great for rainy days.Short cab or bus rides will take you to anything that might interest you.Would ask locals your age where they go to relax ,dine or shop.If you will have free time away from the group ( it s not on the tour) would head downtown to Chinatown, Little Italy, Greenwich Village.Parts are a little touristy but a little hole in the wall cafe is a good place to be on a cold night.Best regards

What are popular family neighborhoods in Denver Colorado? -

We may be transferred from the Twin Cities MN to Denver CO and I m trying to get a feel for what are the best family neighborhoods and schools? We ll have to be commuting to downtown so that s a factor. I m just starting my research so any information is helpful.Thanks!

Highlands Ranch, Littleton (I personally like the western stretches of Littleton the most), Morrison (which is very tiny but cute), Lakewood (parts of which aren t that great.) Wheat Ridge, and my personal favorite- Golden. There s Stapleton (which is kind of up and coming) and then there s Aurora (again, parts of it are really scary but not all of it is bad.) Broomfield and Brighton which are nice, but commuting on that stretch of I-25 is insane and I wouldn t be able to stand it on a daily basis. So in conclusion, Golden is my favorite, but I also really like western areas of Littleton, and Highlands Ranch isn t bad (a bit yuppy) but nice for families.

Lakewood, Arvada are west of downtown,, has nice neighborhoods and schools. I work for Jefferson county schools. I live in Castle Rock about 30 min. south of Denver. A family friendly town with great schools. Douglas County. Light rail is being built right now from Lakewood to Denver. Light rail station is about 10 min. from Castle Rock to downtown. http://www.townofcastlerock.org

We publish the Denver Colorado City Guide. The best family neighborhoods and schools in descending order:1. Washington Park2. Cherry Creek3. Westminster

If you wan to live in the city, in exciting vibrant neighborhoods with a bit of history, look at Park Hill, Congress Park, Washington Park and Highlands. If you want cookie-cutter suburbs, read the above two answers.

Does San Jose State University suck? -

My dad keeps telling me that I should go to San Jose State since its closer but I don t want to do it. I want to go to UC s but my gpa is too low because I did not take PE in my freshman year due to a charter school that I went to. He wants me to go there because it is much closer to our house. If I can get to a CSU I would like to go to Long Beach State University or something higher. San Jose State doesn t have everything I want. For example, I want to go to Russia in my college years but the only CSU that have it is Cal Poly Pomona and Long Beach State. My father wont even let me go to Community College and let me take the transfer program to Berkeley. I know I can make it to Berkley if I take the transfer program but he wont let me because he thinks it is a waste. Right now, I m focusing on my Sat s so I could increase my chances of getting accepted to Long Beach. I m in junior year now so I have to try hard since this is the most important year of my high school years.

SJSU is alright. The main problems are lack of funding, which is a problem for every community college, CSU, and UC right now, and craptastic administration/logistics, which might be a problem at any CSU. Academically, it is decent and comparable to the less competitive UCs.However, if it doesn t have the program you want to do, then it would be a mistake to go there. If you go there just to appease your father, you will always regret not being able to study abroad in Russia.Since it is junior year, you still have time to possibly change his mind. If you have relatives who have a good relationship with your father, talk to them about what s going on, and see if they can help you work on changing his mind. Also, keep in mind that you will be an adult soon, and the decision on what college to go to is yours alone. While you may not have your father s financial or moral support, you do have the freedom to go to college anywhere - and depending on your family situation, you might get enough financial aid to make it a non-issue. The fact that he won t even let you go to a CC and transfer is bizarre, since you would be living at home for two years and going to a much less expensive school than SJSU.

Nah, San Jose University Doesn t Suck.I ve Been There Twice To Visit.Here s The WebSitehttp://www.sjsu.edu/In My Opinion It s A Pretty Good University.They Have A HUGE Library :Dhttp://slisweb.sjsu.edu/images/mlklibrar��Its Like 6 Stories.It;s Pretty Awesome.Good Luck:)

I didnt want to go there because its overcrowded (like 30,000+ students? no thanks) and way too close to home. Id rather go to a school where I can get the most out of my education and not have to deal with 5435532 people in a class.

No! San Jose State doesn t suck!

I live in SJ, go to Chico.

Itinerary for a road trip in North America (for about 6 weeks)? -

Which is the best route to travel to visit every state?Also if you have done a similar trip, please let me know what kind of things you did, such as route, good attractions, things you did before to prepare, etc.We were thinking of starting at the east coast, but we would like to be in New York over Xmas and New Years. So obviously it will be at the end of the year in winter, and we will probably leave for America (from Australia) late November/early December. (Not sure of the exact details yet, which is why I need some advice)

To go to every state you would be doing some long crazy zig zagging across the country. You would also be spending a good deal of those 6 weeks in the car not seeing much other than driving by. You can definitely see lots of the US in 6 weeks but you ll want to pick a few states, don t try to see all 50 (or even the 48 contiguous). November/December in the northern US will be chilly to cold with the potential for lots (or no) snow. Driving can be a bit more difficult. Not the best circumstances to start driving on the opposite side of the road.NYC for Christmas is definitely a great choice! We do a pretty darn good job of it in my opinion.However your plans work out, have a great trip!

I doubt you can get to every state in six weeks. Read Bill Bryson s book Note from a small Island where he failed to visit everywhere in England.

Can you recommend a nice hotel in Branson MO? -

I m going to be married in August and we re going to Branson for our honeymoon. We re looking for a nice hotel with the basics, you know, in door pool, nice service, clean, safe... But also aren t looking to spend a freakish amount of money on it. A spa would be nice... But not necessary. I m really just looking for a place in or super close to Branson. Any help?

Here s a link:http://www.reservebranson.com/lodging.as�� Enjoy your honeymoon. May your life together be filled with laughter and happiness. Remember you re there for each other through all the tough spots. Don t buy a big house, just one that fits your needs.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

The swankiest hotel in Branson is a place called the Red Roof Inn.

Will bad weather affect the taping of Disneys Christmas Parade? -

The Orlando area is expecting some bad storms the new few days, with possible tornadoes. I m wondering, if the weather is as bad as expected, will there be changes to the taping.

I m sure they will be keeping a close eye on the weather and will do everything they can to avoid making any changes. However, if there is dangerous weather, such as lightning or tornadoes, then it will most definitely be postponed. Depending on how long it storms (if it even does), it may only be postponed until later the same day.

If the weather is really bad like Tornadoes than Walt Disney world s parks will close down.So if there is gonna be thunder or a tornado than yeah they wont be taping anything cause it might harm the Cast Members and the guests.remember Santa has to sit in his Sleigh which is pretty high up and we don t want Santa to go flying now do we?^_^

Of course there will be changes to the taping schedule. They can t film in inclement weather. The whole point of the show is to highlight the great warm sunny weather at Disney in the winter. That s what sells tickets. The last thing they want to see is cold, rain and wind. How many people would want to vacation in Orlando if that s what they saw when they watche dto TV show.

Hurricane season is over. I think the weather will be fine. I just don t know if Regis is coming... I haven t heard that he won t. He had a hip replacement yesterday! The parade will definitely be lacking if he isn t there!

What is a nice reasonable price meal downtown in Vegas? -

We are heading down too Fremont street looking for a nice resturant / buffet too eat at?

Tony Romas has the steak and lobster tail for like 9.99and its real good and I am picky.While you are downtown save room for desert and get the deep fried oreos or twinkies they dont sound good, I didnt think I would like it and it was awesome. They are only .99 I dont know the name of the place that has them but you cant miss it they have a big sign out front.FYI* the place that has the deep fried stuff has the real slot machines that still take and give coins, I dont know if you care but thats what reminds me of Vegas and its the only place i had luck and won at.

Here are buffet prices for some of the downtown hotelshttp://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/buffet.ph��

Hugo s is the best restaurant downtown. Not too pricey.

The buffet at Main Street Station

i would say hometown buffa

Tampa is a fun place for a guy. Lots of mens clubs... No seriously, USF is a great place to go.

Are there sharks in coney island beach New York? -

i go there a lot but not scared or anything just curious i will be cautious next time i go to far out

We definitely do have sharks on our coast. obviously, the chances of seeing one is EXTREMELY rare, but it has happened in the past. I know for sure that a great white shark had been spotted at coney island, I think it was in the 1920s or so. I saw about it on shark week.There are blue sharks in the area. Up the coast, maybe in Rhode Island, you can do a shark dive. So any sharks they have, we would have as well. The chances of them coming up towards the beach would be very rare, though.

The chances of sharks at Coney Island are remote. Coney Island is a good distance from the open ocean. For a shark to get there they have to swim through an area where polluted water from the harbor mixes with ocean water--take a look at a map of the city. That s one reason why the water quality at Coney Island is usually marginal at best, and why swimming is prohibited beyond a certain street. Sharks don t like polluted water.Seeing a shark, while still rare, is more likely at one of the beaches that directly faces the ocean, such as Riis Park or the Rockaways.Sharks also prefer deep water. Most bathers at Coney Island stay pretty close to the beach. If they go far out, a lifeguard is likely to signal them to get closer to the beach.If a shark does get close to a city beach, it s likely that one of the lifeguards will sight it, and order everyone out of the water.

Actually most shark attacks happen in less than 3 of water and the reason is simple : that s where the food is Sharks exist in every ocean of the world and although rare people do occasionally get attacked -actually tasted -by sharks in NYC waters If you suspect that you are swimming with sharks , stop swimming and float with nothing dangling or moving because the herky -jerky motion of swimming human mimic the motions of an injured fish

Shark sitings near NYC beaches are pretty rare, and most of the sharks that have been noticed in recent years aren t of a type known to attack humans. So it s not really a big concern.Here s an example from Rockaway Beach a couple of years ago:http://wcbstv.com/topstories/shark.thres��

You will more likely run into the Coney Island Whitefish than sharks and in my humble opinion, those are the ones to really look out for.Only about 1% (4 out of 360 species) are dangerous so humans and usualy fine unless they provoke them.

Only at the New York Aquarium.

I heard about occasional ones at New York City beaches in general on news reports.

I am traveling on a greyhound bus from maine to missouri? -

Now its $90 a ticket, me and my fiance are going so it comes to a total of 180.00. Now do i need to plan extra costs or surpirse costs? I men i have to plan for food and drink but is there any surpise charges. Also if anyone has done a greyhound experiance, how is it? Thanks

I took a 36 hour Greyhound trip from Mount Pleasant, Michigan to Sarasota, Florida in 1971 with my wife and six-year-old son. It was my third vision of infinity. I am 6 4 and public seating is not designed for someone of my size. I sent out postcards on that trip that read, I have long felt that unattended laundromats and Greyhound stations are among the last outposts of alienation in an increasingly humanized world. Pack in as much food and bottled water as you can carry. Get an i-Pod, and go to Audible.com. Fill your i-Pod with a wide variety of books that will hold your attention.I would rather walk or hitchhike than take a Greyhound. Your mileage may vary.

sit towards the front, the back is where the bathroom is located. EW. i ve been on long bus rides, not too fun but i don t think they have any surprise charges. bring food and drink because that should be a long trip. hope this is helpful!

No more additional fees or taxes. You only need to supply your own travel costs as you suspect. Food, magazines.. What ever you choose to purchase at the MANY stops you will be making.

i would plan on food and a possible night in a motel room if there is layover involved
