21rst Birthday Weekend in Manhattan, New York What should I do? -

I turn 21 years old the weekend of May 14,2010. I am planning on going to NYC for three days. I just need to know what is the best things I should do. besides Dinner,Shopping,And Site seeing. What is the best Hotel, How far is Grand Central Station, And How much is the fairy, and liberty bell.

go clubbing !!! um..Grand Central station is right in the middle of manhattan.. I don t know what you ment by how far it is. The fairy ? lol you mean the ferry ? Well it depends which ferry you want to go on. There s some free ones. If you mean the ferry to go see Statue of Liberty, that one is cheap. You can get those tickets at Battery Park, they include Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. As far as hotels, there s a lot of good ones. If you re not sure then you can always choose a Hilton. Most of them are awesome. If you re coming from the Grand Central Station, there s a lot of hotels around that area too.Go to the village. It s fun there. There s good bars there, if you re into that. There s a lot of hang out spots, it just depends on what kind of crowd you re going to be with.

there s a FAIRY in manhattan? i ve lived here all my life and i didnt know. what kind of fairy? tooth fairy?and when did Manhattan steal the Liberty bell from philadelphia?!

well the liberty bell is is philadelphia but checking out times square, little italy and china town are my favorite places to go so you should check it out.

The Liberty Bell is in Philadelphia...

What happens when a no one picks up a package from the post office? -

I ordered a package with USPS and i am out of town. Im checking the stauts online and it says Arrived at post office nov 22. I wont be back for a while and i was wondering what happens when a package isnt picked up after a long period of time.

You can call your local USPS and tell them why you can t make it and let them know when you can.They send it back to the original address if you don t pick it up during their last day that they ll hold it for you.

Location of pedestrian walkway over the Hudson, NYC? -

Hello,Can someone please tell me the location of this gorgeous walkway over the Hudson River in NYC?I saw this in the following Bollywood (Indian) movie. See link below. The song is called Hey Shona Hey . The scene starts at the 2:43 mark. I also would like to know the part where the couple stands on the little hilltop with all the American flags at the 3:02 mark.And if possible the streets at the 4:04, 4:16 mark. I just love the way NYC was picturzed in this music video.They look like great photo opps as I love to take pictures near famous land marks. Thanks and have a great day.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6HhLgA6yLA

The clip that starts at 2:43 is the southern end of Liberty State Park, which is located in Jersey City, NJ. This nowhere near the Hudson River. This section of the park is located in New York Harbor.The link below is a map of the park s southern end.http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Liberty+St��The clip at the 4:04 mark, which the the part with the horse drawn carriage, is Central Park West and 77th Street. The white stone building in the background is the New York Historical Society, which is a museum dedicated to the history of the City of New York. The American Museum of Natural History is located a short distance away at 81st Street and Central Park West.The link below show the location of the area in the video.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q source=s��The third clip, which is at the 4:16 mark, was filmed in Central Park near 59th Street. This is the southern end of the park.In addition, the clip that is at 4:10, was filmed at 6th Avenue and West 55th Street. There is an art sculpture called LOVE , which is located in front of 1550 6th Avenue.The link below show location of the building and art installation.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q source=s��Photo http://static.panoramio.com/photos/origi��The LOVE sculpture was designed by Robert Indiana in 1964 and has been at this location since 1966.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luckNative New Yorker

There is no walkway across the Hudson. (Someone mentioned the George Washington Bridge. Well, yes, there is a pedestrian walkway on that Bridge, but the footage in this clip ain t that!)The picture is an optical illusion. It is shot on a pier that sticks out into the water. This pier is a stretch of Hudson River Park, a greenway that hugs the Hudson River.

Well, that gorgeous walkway doesn t go over the Hudson River, it goes alongside it in Liberty State Park, which is in New Jersey, as a matter of fact.Follow the link below to see a map of the park and the walkway is the part along the water s edge there, and the Statue Of Liberty stands on the little island right nearby labelled Liberty Island and the part with all the American flags is in that park, too...

The bridge in the video is not in New York City. That s Jersey City, New Jersey; Liberty State Park on the other side of the harbor from the city. that s also not across the hudson. the hudson has already ended at that point, emptying into Upper New York Bay. the bridge crosses a cove to what was once Black Tom s Island.

In Colorado do they have 2 categories of Universities like they do in California? -

UC and CSU is what they have in California (I.e. - Cal state Long Beach, Cal State North ridge , etc, University of California San Diego, one for every major city for the most part.) There are also a few religious and private Universities in California but It s mostly either UC or CSU. Is this the way they name 4 year colleges in Colorado also?

The University of Colorado has 3 campuses in its system and Colorado State University has 2 campuses. (There are far fewer cities in Colorado than in California, esp. large cities.) There are also many private colleges , community colleges and several religious colleges.

I don t really understand what the difference between UC and CSU is, you didn t explain it. The two major ones are the University of Colorado (CU) and Colorado State University (CSU). There is also University of Denver (DU) and University of Northern Colorado (UNC). There are also lots of private universities. There s no ranking between UC or CSU...
