Well I decided I'm going to have a mini getaway and go to new york in march 23-26 and was wondering whats the weather like around that time? All I have is california summer clothes so Im wondering If I have to do a little bit of shopping.
Also Im going to be staying at the The Peninsula New York,does anyone know how far it is from jfk airport?also any good shopping in the area im staying at?
any advice is good so lets hear it.

 

It's freaking cold!

 

like snowing??

 

peninsula hotel? you are a rich man...... right in midtown manhattan by radio city, st patricks, apple store, barneys..... JFK airport is just a cab ride away

 

Not rich,just have the hook up on all peninsula hotel worldwide, I was going to do tokyo but I cant deal with a flight that long hahahaha,how far is time square??

 

Peninusla hotel is walking distance from everything you could want in New York City, and always a Letter or Number train away. Dude, hit up a fellow Z driver, I work in the city all the time, I'm from jersey. We'll do it up.

 

times square is a few blocks away, walking distance as Dozzi said

 

I imagine it will still be pretty chilly in the northeast by late march. Maybe mid 40's or 50 if you're lucky.

 

so is there really people who sell watches,boot legged dvds and other items on the street like I always see in movies?

 

China town.

 

There are even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that live in the sewer like in the movies too! So don't worry about being mugged by the foot clan.

 

hahahah YES.

ive gotten gold chains, movies, cd's, watches, and any designer cologne from them.

all for $5 each. hahha

One time i was walking with a few friends and this dude comes running around the corner and showed us like a rag full of gold chains. He said hurry up, $5 each. So we all bought one, he ran away and we got them appraised and they were all real lol.

 

haha well it is winter time up here. We have already gotten several feet of snow. You need new clothes, a hat, gloves, a jacket, ect. Don't underestimate how freaking cold it gets up here.

 

Ok I'm going in late march which and we should be a couple days into spring it should at least be in the 50's right?if so Ican handle that.also is there any special urban clothing boutique in that area?also I heard everything is twice as expensive in new york than california, can anyone confirm this?

 

It could be in the 50's , or it could be 15 and snowing out....that time of year is very unpredictable. And that is goin to be quite a pricey cab ride from JFK to Manhattan, most cabs are a flat fee of 50-100 to the airports from the city. Better off taking the air train to Jamaica and riding the railroad into the city. Plus you get to see more lol.

 

i think its only $40 flat fee for a taxi trip from JFK to any Manhattan hotel. when you exit the airport, be sure to wait on the taxi stand line....

as for weather, similar to above post, its very unpredictable, but i highly doubt the weather would ever reach above 50 or 60

dont forget to go to Halal's Chicken & Rice stand, extra white sauce and if you like spicy, try the red sauce....53rd st, i think its on 5th or 6th

 

Who's in new york right now?can someone tell me the weather as we speak...or type lol?so even in the spring its still cold?man its winter time in cali but still 60-70 degrees.
Whats closer to the Hotel, JFK or La Guardia Airport?
I really appreciate all the info guys!!!

 

well if a cab is that much I might as welll get there limo services for 175??but if a cab is indeed $40 I'll take that lol

 

Yo +1 on the chicken and rice stands. There's one outside MSG/Penn Station that's baller too. ****in' A

Make sure you hit up the Brooklyn Brewery (In Brooklyn, take the.... 7? I forget.)

I got plug the tempest right across the street from penn station, great bar.

There's a blarney stone downtown that's good.

 

bring A LOT of warm clothes like coats, jackets, scraf, watch cap, etc...

temp in the northeast is average 20-30 morning and colder at night time....

dont forget lots of money too lol... cabs are gonna kill you. or u can take the subway but that require about 1-2 hours of learning time lol...
