  • I guarantee your ISP’s router has some sort of Network Access Control (either Certificate or MAC addressed) based authentication that controls access to the ISP’s network. The ISP would be crazy to not do that.

    It is an easy test. Just by-pass the router and see if it works.

    The worse that can happen is your personal devices get denied access.


  • The Big Bus is walk on walk off. You can walk around everything you want and make your way back to the stop. The buses come every 30 minutes so if one is full take the next one.

    They are seeing the city with training wheels.

    The bus is usually full, loud and you have to wait in lines and traffic… Literally the least fun part of NYC.

    UUHH

    Name one thing in NYC that isn’tFull and loud waiting in lines and has traffic….

    That is kind of the point of going to NYC.


  • I do long weekends in NYC about four times a year. It is really my go to for vacations.

    I am assuming you are staying in or near Times Square.

    For your first visit Stay in the tourist areas. As you get more familiar with the subways you can venture out.

    • There is so much to do in the TS area.
    • See the madness that is TS.
    • See a broadway show.
    • Eat at John’s Pizza. The pizza is great and the building is awesome.
    • I highly recommend you do Big Bus Tours or any of the top off tour buses. They have routes that take you all over the city and they will drop you off at all the main sights to see and the pick you up. The big bus tours will take you through all the various areas, flat iron, Clinton (Hell’s Kitchen), Wall Street, The World Trade Center.
    • Eat on restaurant row, it is two blocks from TS and there are so many restaurants to choose from. Unless you go to really high end places, the restaurant scene in NYC is really reasonable.
    • If you have done all of that, just talk a walk to Central Park or better yet take a cab to the Natural History Museum, see the museum and the walk back to TS.
    • REMEMBER stay in the tourist areas. You are a tourist.
