Queens, New York City? -

I m going to spend a week in NYC and visit 2 friends of mine; one is in Monmouth,NJ and the other is in New Haven, CT, So I thought Queens would be the best place cuz it s right in the middle. Now -- what s the nice/safe area in Queens that has some nice hotels and has a train/subway takes to Manhattan?-- Is it a good idea to stay in a hotel in the JFK Airport area? I will appreciate any help.

There are some good hotels in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Queens. These hotels are on Queens Boulevard or very close to it.In Sunnyside, you will be right next to the 7. The 7 goes into Manhattan, and connects with the A,C,E,1,2,3,B,D,F,V,N,Q,R,W and the Grand Central Shuttle.If you stay at a hotel near JFK, you will be a lot farther away from Manhattan. The only subway line in that area is the A. From that area, the A will take a good 30 minutes just to get to Manhattan or so.

The hotels near JFK are not really in a good part of town. The streets are dark and lonely. Plus it is not that close to Manhattan and would add an hour to the ride by public transport to the other two locations.4Pick a hotel in Astoria, or Long Island City or Sunnyside and cross reference a subway map. Go to mta.info. On the subway map page you can click on the pdf icon to get an enlargeable and printable map.Get back to us if yopu pick a particular hotel because some of thaose areas can be a little dicey as well.
