How far is Central Park from Radio City Music Hall? How far is it from Penn Station? How much would they...? -

charge for 1 adult an 8 year old child (I don t know if they charge per person).Also, when does the Macy s window go up when are the decorations up at F.A.O. Schwartz? My niece her 8 year old daughter are going to see the Rockettes on the day before Thanksgiving next week, Wednesday, November 25th she s still trying to plan their trip. Also, would anybody know how much a program at Radio City Music Hall would be for the Christmas show? Thanks for all your replies!

I ll just give you an approximate since I m not looking at a map.Penn Station - 34th street and 7th avenueRadio City - 50th street and 6th avenue (Avenue of the Americas)Central Park - starts at 59th street between 5th and 8th avenueSubway is $2.25 per person and child. If your niece is coming around 11/25 then the Macy s window should be up for Thanksgiving, not sure about Christmas. I m not sure about the other stuff...Have fun...and bundle up, it is a little cold this year in NYC.

There s no charge to enter Central Park. Well, they do charge to get into the Zoo, but the park, as a whole, is free, and it s close to both Radio City and Penn Station (see link to map, below).Macy s and FAO Schwarz s Christmas windows go up around Thanksgiving or so, and the souvenir programs for the Rockettes aren t too much, maybe $10 bucks or so?Good luck, and the link below is to a map showing Central Park and Radio City Music Hall and Penn Station...

You can use maps.google.com to find out the distance for these places within New York. Radio City Music Hall is at 50th St and 6th Ave; Central Park starts at 59th St and is between 5th Ave and 8th Ave; Penn Station is at 32nd St and 7th Ave. It might be quite a walk for an 8 year old.Who are they and what are they charging for? Taxi cabs? Buses? Subways? Radio City Music Hall?Taxi rates are $2.50 just to get in the cab, and then $0.40 for every unit, where a unit is defined as 1/5 of a mile when the cab is travelling at 6 mph or more, or 60 seconds when the cab is travelling at less than 12 mph. So a cab ride from Penn Station to Radio City (about a mile and a half, or 7.5 units of 1/5 mile) could be as little as $2.50 + 7.5*$0.40, or $5.50, but it s likely to be more because of traffic.Tickets for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular on Wed 25 Nov range from $45 (3rd Mezzanine) to $90 (Premium). There are 4 shows that day: 11 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM, and 8 PM. They are all considered non-peak performances and have the same price ranges. Prices are per seat; there are no reduced prices for children.

What is the best place to live in the Yakima, WA area? -

I have a job offer and opportunity relocate there from Seattle. I ve only lived in Seattle six months and I love it here, but I m looking to change jobs. I m still pretty fresh out of college. I ve read about lots of crime problems in Yakima, but it can t be that bad EVERYWHERE can it?

Sorry, but I don t think there s even a good place to live in Yakima. The crime rates are incredibly high, especially violent crime due to the intense problems with gangs.

How do I get from San Fransisco Airport to Sacramento by train? -

I am flying in to SFO on an international flight on a Sunday.

The Amtrack Station in San Francisco is in the rear of the building next door (south side) of the Ferry Building located on The Embarcadero. (another clue, Ferry Building is at the East End of Market St.)From SFO, get off the BART at the BART EMBARCADERO STATION, the last San Francisco stop (before train enters the tunnel under the bay to Oakland). Exit the BART underground station and go up to street level (you will be walking toward Beale or Main Streets up on Market St). Walk east on Market Street toward the Ferry Building. Pop into a store or hotel or find a good person on the street, ask person to point out which direction to the Ferry Building to make sure you are walking in the right direction.You can purchase a train ticket for SF to Sacramento that includes a shuttle bus ride from the SF Amtrack station to Emeryville station.Go to the Amtrack ticket office and waiting room. We bought our train tickets there, checked our luggage, sat in the waiting room and then waited out on the curb when the station agent told us the shuttle for Emeryville is arriving. That s what I would do. There is a phone number for Amtrack where perhaps you can get correct up to the date information.http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 oe��http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentSer��If you have a few minutes to kill, the Ferry Building next door has places to eat nice shops. It s beautiful inside.

There aren t any direct trains from San Francisco to Sacramento.You can board a train to Sacramento at Emeryville Amtrak Station. You would basically take the transit system from SFO to Emeryville which is about 20 miles away.http://www.amtrak.comThe Amtrak train from Emeryville goes to Sacramento hourly.

http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentSer��^ You book your ticket and go where they say to. There aren t exactly many options/directions when going by train... it runs along a fixed track (obviously... I mean, it s a train!), so all you have to do is get to a station (Ferry Building would probably be easiest for you - it s a bus station that will connect you to a train in Emeryville) and just go along for the ride from there.

Here s your weblink to their rail system. It s very clean and a slight similarity to your Underground.Good Luck and Enjoy your stay in the area.http://www.bart.gov/stations/index.aspxThis is your safe and best bet. Be smart and use common sense.

from sfo take Bart over to Oakland, take amtrack to Sacamento.
