Hotels in downtown Chicago? -

I m looking for a nice, but not to expensive hotel in Chicago. Any ideas?

What is not too expensive for you, and when do you want to be there? Rates right now are pretty good in the city. I just checked hotels.com for one night 12/18-19 and some very nice hotels are in the $100 range. Most of these rates are prepaid and non-refundable.W Lakeshore - a bit too trendy and loud for my tastes, but $119/nt.Doubletree Mag Mile - nice modern hotel, great location, $109/nt.Hilton Suites Mag Mile - All rooms are suites, very nice property. $114/ntMarriott Downtown Mag Mile - I ve heard it s nice, $129There are many more on the Magnificent Mile, just enter Magnificent Mile Chicago in the search bar at hotels.com.For my money, though, I d go with the Sofitel at $165/nt. This is a true luxury 5 star hotel and is the only such 5-star Sofitel in the country. I ve also stayed at the very nice 4-star NYC Sofitel and the Chicago property is MUCH nicer and significantly more affordable.Edited to add that you should also do a web search for hotel discounts. Earlier this year, for instance, United Airlines had a promo code for 20% off any Marriott which I took advantage of. There are many such codes out there that anyone can use. Also, if you re into collecting hotel points, there may be some additional promos which will give you bonuses.

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.

6th and stanford in Los Angeles CA? -

so i took a walk today and i ended up at 6th an stanford ave. Anyone have any idea what neighborhood that is?

Good Evening Mr. Morbid Corpse,You damn near got lucky today??You were right near the best seafood place in Los Angeles. Do not go there on a friday. The line will be to long. I have been going there for over 35 years. The line will be full of police officers, county, and city workers getting their lunch. It closes at 4 pm. Most people in Los Angeles will not go near skid roll, therefore they would not know about the place. I have been feeding the homeless on 6th and Crocker St. for years.Bad part. I have been going there so long, I do not know the address. Don t worry, I will get you there. It is called the FISH MARKET. It is located on Central Ave across the street from Youngs Market, Inc. I did find the address for Youngs Markets, Inc. @ 500 S. Central.Me and my wife take all of our out of town relatives there. When you get to the window, I recommend you order a #1,2, or 3 for your first time. They have a seafood boiler. They also have the best seafood salads in Los Angeles. It is outside seating. No table serve. Take my word for it, You will love it. I do not live on skid roll. No homeless person will be eating beside you.I like to see a person who really wants to learn what Los Angeles is really about. I wish you were older (smile), I would point out some great Jazz hole in the walls.You have a great day. I am heading for Las Vegas for Thankgiving. My wife just finished baking fourteen (14) sweet potato pies. Time for me to taste one. Enjoy the fish, from Los Angeles

That s around Skid Row, the Flower District, the Arts District, and the Wholesale District. Borders are pretty fuzzy down there.

That s in or right near Skid Row. Did you buy some crack or heroin on your walk by any chance?

That s somewhere right around Skid Row.

Does anybody know anything fun to do in san Antonio,Texas? -

OK, here s a partial (and serious) answer:Fiesta TexasSea WorldSan Antonio ZooSunken GardensSan Antonio Botanical GardensShopping Malls (especially North Star Mall and the RiverCenter Mall)The RiverwalkHemisfair Plaza and the Tower of the AmericasDozens of MuseumsThe Alamo and the four other missions that make up the San Antonio Missions National Historic TrailThat should get you started! Have a good visit.

DRINK CERVEZA, THEY DON T HABLAN ENGLES IN SAN ANTONIO, SO SIT IN A BAR AND DRINK CERVEZA AND DON T GET IN TROUBLE Report Abuse

Go downtown. There are nice restaurants, cafes, bars, museums, El Mercado market, Rivercenter Mall, The Riverwalk, Alamo, etc. Besides that.. there is an art museum in Alamo Heights (McNay Art Museum) and a Japanese garden around that area. Besides the downtown area, there is Sea World and Fiesta Texas. Besides that, there isn t really much to do. San Antonio is a suburban city. Everything is spread out and every 2 miles, there is a Wal Mart, Home Depot, HEB, and a McDonald s. Little diversity. Same old same old. If you like shopping, I would suggest Northstar Mall and La Cantera (mixed use development)

there is a lot to do in San Antonio, six flags is real popular and also sea world. There is a lot to do in the river walk like the rio san antonio cruises and you can also visit the Alamo and the Hard Rock Cafe.

starting in late afternoon, the River Walk is lovely, and cool.you can drink Sangria, take the tour boats.there is also shopping.

no. Welcome to texasno im kidding uh sea worldthe alamothe River walkand a really good mall

the alamo sucks really bad...go to river walk...that is cool

Go to the Alamo and learn some history.

drink cerveza

Drink beer and shoot foreigners

Things to do in Denver....when youre (not)dead? -

Going to Denver to see a Broncos game on January 3. Anything worth doing or any cool bars I should check out? I will be getting there the night before the game so depending on how late it is when I get there (after the 12 hour drive) I will have that night and whole day after the game to do stuff. I m a 24 yo male so that s my demographic. Which would you suggest, the Downtown Aquarium or the Nature and Science museum? too bad im going in January, I would really like to go see a show at Red Rocks... also any suggestions for a cheap hotel in the vicinity of Invesco Field?

I Searched on this site and got the Cheapest Hotel,Check it out,it also had Discount Coupon Codes for Expedia,Orbitz,Travelocity,Kayak, Priceline,etc.http://freetravel4ever.blogspot.com

Eliches amusement park, Indoor skydiving in englewood colorado, if you can Aspen, Vail, A nuggets game, Water world, just to name a few

the Aquarium is lots of fun! I would say go down to the 16th street mall.. There is lots of shops/ bars and places to hang out!

If you want to go to bars, just get lost downtown. Walk around. There are tons of them. Start with Market street and work your way north. Maybe go up an down 16th. Science museum is cool but I wouldn t go there on a weekend. It becomes a zoo. Speaking of Zoos, I d hit up the Denver zoo. You can still go to red rocks and walk around to check it out. Honestly, it s a cool place but personally I ve always been disappointed with the sound quality there. There are several Headshops in Denver but non of them are really anything special. What might be interesting to you is one of our many new dispensaries. They re just head shops, but they might be of interest of you to check out if you are not from a place with dispensaries. You know, just so you can say you ve been to one.

http://www.ramada.com/Ramada/control/Boo��Ramada Continental2601 Zuni StreetDenver, CO 80211I love the downtown aquarium, but it is a little small, for the amount of money you pay to get in, you would think you could spend more than an hour in there. The museum is fun as well, been a while since I ve been there. The Art museum, if you re into that. 16th street mall (its outdoors though, so depends on the weather). Coors Brewery, they give free tours, learn how they make beer and sample 3 free drinks at the end.

Going to NYC weekend before Christmas...? -

Flying out of ATL, which airport should I fly into...being the easiest to get from the airport to the hotel near times square?? Should I go LaGuardia, Newark or JFK?? What s the efficient mode of transportation from the airport to the hotel? Taxi, Shuttle or subway?Also, it s the weekend before Christmas...what to do and what to wear? Im a 21 year old female going to visit...lots of opinions appreciated...

Newark might be easiest since you can take the monorail and then a train straight into midtown (you ll be let out at 32nd and 7th, which is totally within walking distance of Times Square). JFK would also be doable, but it s a pain to get out of LGA using public transportation. Taking a taxi at all during Christmas time would be terrible, they always announce gridlock alert days around the holidays and encourage people to use mass transit.Bring warm clothes and comfy shoes. Check out the tree in Rockefeller Center, go shopping, look at the store windows, see a show ... It s NY, you can find everything here.

Newark - You catch AirTrain directly in the airport and take it to the Newark Train Station and transfer to Amtrak (fare cost more than NJ Transit) or NJ Transit train into Penn Station Manhattan - which is about 10 blocks from Times Square. This will be the most efficient method if you want cheap vs. a taxi cab. Taxi cab will cost you about $50-60 bucks into midtownJFK - Taxi cab to midtown will be about $45 bucks flat rate. Or if you have all the time in the world, you can take AirTrain directly in the airport to Jamaica Station/Howard Beach Station and either take the Long Island Railroad (more than a subway ride) to Penn Station or Subway ($2.50 per ride) to Times Square.LaGuardia - Taxi cab will be the most efficient and ideal way. However, you can do public transport via bus. LaGuardia is my preferred airport of the three, since it s closest to the city and not JFK.

For you, Newark is best even though it is in New Jersey. You will be able to take a PATH train into Manhattan that will take you to Herald Square, right near Macys. From there, Times Square is one stop away by subway, but at your age, I would simply walk it since it is a very short distance away and you will see more of the city that way as well as saving the $2.25 subway fare.Please bring a warm winter coat or jacket as temperatures are typically in the 30 s this time of year and can get colder.Here are articles about what to see at Christmas and how the trains and buses work:http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��

It has been getting pretty cold at night here already,so by the time Christmas comes you will really need to rug up with a warm coat and layers. As far as what else to wear, it is entirely up to you. I doubt you will need snow boots or anything but I can usually get around in tights and a dress with a warm coat at christmas time so it isn t bitterly cold. As far as how to get into the city, I generally fly into JFK which is my personal favourite but that being said I never have to rely on public transport and I get someone to pick me up so its not really relevant. Taxi is the best if you have some $ because its easy but otherwise just go on a train in. Be careful getting on the subway with loads of bags though because no doubt people will be pissed at you for taking up space and also don t even think about getting in during peak hours, just get a cab instead. There are loads of things going on around Christmas so its the best time to do be in the city. you could go and see the christmas windows at the large department stores, go iceskating in the park, Rockafeller centre has some great christmas stuff, go shopping of course, oh and make sure you go to FAO schwartz toy shop it is amazing at christmas. Try to stay away from the typical tourist things like SATC tour, and all other tours they are really laclustre.

What are some affordable things I can do (and eat) in Honolulu during December? -

I ll be on vacation there for 2 weeks.

On Fridays, the Honolulu Advertiser has a special section on activities that will be going on over the next week. Many of them are free or low cost. You can go to their web site before you arrive check things out in advance, or be sure to buy one on the first Friday you are here. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/p��Some fun things that I can think of off the top of my head are:Art on the Fence - outside the zoo at Kapiolani Park on the weekends, local artists display their art for sale. Looking is free lots of fun.http://www.artonthezoofence.com/Drive around downtown after dark. Many of the buildings are lighted for the holidays. You can go on a City Lights trolley ride for not a whole lot if you are not renting a car. The city hall is filled with decorated trees,http://honolulucitylights.org/First Fridays downtown are a lot of fun, art galleries are free , there are street musicians, there are lots of reasonably priced restaurants street vendors.http://firstfridayhawaii.com/There are lots of good hikes, most cost nothing. There is a small fee to get into the Diamond Head crater for that hike.http://www.frommers.com/destinations/oah��Pearl Harbor really should be on everyone s must do list.http://www.nps.gov/valr/planyourvisit/in��If you are here the 1st w/e in December, you should go to the Pacific Handcrafters Guild craft fair. The things for sale aren t necessarily cheap, but they are gorgeous. They may be worth the splurge, but even if you don t want to spend $ it s fun just looking.http://pacifichandcraftersguild.com/even��Of course, the beaches are always free there are plenty of places to sight see that will only cost you the gas to get there. Some of my favorite beaches include: Kailua /or Lanikai on the Windward side, Waimea Bay on the north shore (probably not good for swimming in December d/t waves) cockroach cove just south of the Blow Hole in East Oahu (made famous by the kissing scene in the movie From Here to Eternity). Sightseeing suggestions: the Pali Lookout, the mini-circle island tour around east Oahu, or the full circle island tour, Byodo in Temple in Temple Valley, Kaneohe on the windward side.Inexpensive places to catch a bite: Keneke s in Waimanalo, Kakaako Kitchen in Ward Center, Ono Hawaiian Food on Kapahulu Ave, and Maple Garden/King Tsin (Chinese food) in Moiliili. If you want to splurge, consider Tsukiji s Fish Market in Ala Moana Center for a great buffet (mostly Japanese food - great sushi sashimi) or the Willows in Moiliili, also a good buffet great ambiance.

Aloha - congratulations on 2 weeks in Hawaii - thats wonderful!!If you can arrange it, get a hotel with at least a fridge/microwave, you can do breakfast snacks in your room and save a ton of cash, can also pack a picnic lunch now and then, the savings is great and you have so many amazing parks beaches to choose from for your picnicI highly recommend plate lunch - there are tons of plate lunch places on Oahu alone and they are always a great value - plate lunch is usually a scoop of rice, macaroni salad, slaw and 1-3 meat and/or fish entrees (sometimes even spam, a local favorite) - all usually for $7 or less. And trust me this is a lot of food! Some places I really enjoy are: South Shore Grill, in Waikiki near the zoo.. and Keneke s in Waimanolo, Also try Zippy s - they are all over the island and are simple, fast and cheap. I had an omlette there last trip and it was really good! Dixie s Grill Bar-B-Que is another great cafe with excellent prices.There are a lot of things on Oahu that are inexpensive or free:Waikiki Beach - lots of activities, people watching, fun spot to be!Pearl Harbor - USS Arizona MemorialValley of Temples - Boyodo In Temple - $5Snorkel Hanauma Bay - $5Hike Diamond Head Crater - $5Waikiki Aquarium $7Find a local farmers market for amazing fresh fruit flowers (also good food savings)Drive or take The Bus to the North Shore to see world class surfingHaloha Blow Hole is really neat and a great place to watch for whalesRoyal Hawaiian Band at the Iolani PalaceKapahuli Pier - free outdoor movies other activitiesFree performances at Ala Moana Shopping CenterThere is so much more to see and do, check it out and have a wonderful trip!

in waiane theres a place called faiths place. just a random place but they sell the best burgers ever!! and their fries and stuff they have too. but everywhere you look in hawaii there will be some random place you can eat good food for a small price.as what you can do, umm the beach, hiking, in the big island theres snow. jsut do the usual stuff i guess

If you re gonna be on Oahu, I HIGHLY recommend heading up to the North Shore. It s beautiful and it tends to be less crowded. There s lots of little shops and restaurants and of course the world famous Banzai Pipeline. Oh and don t leave without getting shave ice from Matsumoto s.
