How far is it from Columbia Universty in NYC to the Broadway theater district?|106275

I_m gonna be there this summer, and I sorta need to know. First of all, what_s the distance between the two in miles? Also, which subway station is nearest, and where would I get off to wind up on Broadway? And in the event that I_d need to take a cab, about how much would it cost? Thanks!

Subway (#1 line) is the better option. Which station depends on where you are going in the theater district, probably 50th St. but possibly Times Square/42nd Street. Confirm which is closer, and how much time to allow, using

It_s about 3.5 miles. You take the subway -- the 1 train -- directly from Columbia to Times Square, it_s a 10-15 minute ride, tops. Don_t bother with a cab, but if you take one, it_ll probably run $10-$12.

The subway stop at Columbia is the 116 Street station of the #1 IRT subway. Take it to 42 Street and you are in the theater district. The intervening stations are 110, 103, 96, 86, 79, 72, 66 (Lincoln Center), 59, and 50, which would also leave you in the theater district. Figure 15 minutes travel.
A cab would run about $12.
The #1 subway IS the Broadway line for much of its length.

Take the 1 subway train to 50th Street. Just a matter of minutes, five minutes tops.

File this in your NYC reference section:
Above 14th St. Manhattan is on a grid system with 20 N/S blocks to a mile and 5 E/W blocks to a mile- so now you know why cab fares are based on a 1/5 mile standard.
Thus 116St-42St. =74 blocks / 20=3.7 miles

It_s 3 to 4 miles. I don_t know the subway station but it is right down Broadway from Columbia.

It_s about 2 - 3 miles. Take the 1 train that stops at 116 Street, right outside the gates of Columbia. If you take the 1 all the way down it will be about 10 stops to 42nd St. A cab will probably cost you $15 if you tell the cabbie to take the west side highway.

What New York City hotel is the best location and price for family to stay and see sites.?|155763

We are planning to visit in July and want to see the key sites and go to a Yankees game if we can get tickets. What would be the best area to stay in and do you have hotel suggestions moderatly priced please. Any other tips are helpful.
Family of 4 - 2 adults a 13 and 10 year old also. Thanks

I live on 14th Street near Union Square. I have never stayed at the Union Square Inn, but I walk by it everyday. It appears to be nice and I read about in NY Magazine as an affordable hotel. The people that come in and out seem to be mostly Europeans, clean and _normal_. The rooms will run you anywhere from $79 a night if you share a bath to $169 a night for the most expensive room. They have quite a few prices in between, check the site below. It is a safe neighborhood, centrally located in Manhattan and very close to the Union Square subway station where you can catch the 4 train right on up to 161st Street Yankee stadium. Final year in the stadium. Go Yanks!

The Hyatt Regency or the Marriot in Times Square. How ever, you asked for moderately prices hotels in NYC. Unfortunately they don_t exist anymore, the minimum rate for a room in midtown Manhattan is usually around $200 per night. You may find rooms for less in either Queens or Brooklyn but the location is not as good.

The Marriot in Times Square is very nice

I_m not soo sure if it will be a good price but the best hotel to stay at is by far the Marriot Marquee in Times Square. My Uncle works in managment at the hotel so we get to go their every summer to stay. The place is amazing. It has numerous resturants and shops inside. They even have a beyond amazing all glass fitness studio which I do believe is award winning. The hotel is most definetly the best location seeming as it is right square in the middle of Times Square. The hotel may be a little pricier but you will save money on cabs and subways because there are so many wonderful things within walking distance from the Marquee including Broadway, Toys R US, Hard Rock, and Good Morning America.

Hope I could help!

Moderately priced and New York City don_t go together.

If you want best location, anywhere in Midtown near 7th Ave. or Lexington Ave. or Broadway will mostly likely be near a subway station that will allow you to get anywhere in the city.

As for price, the average price of a hotel room in New York City is now over $300 per night. That_s an average, so it_s going to include places in Queens and Staten Island and the less desirable locations (like places where prostitutes frequent). If you want a decent hotel in Manhattan, where you won_t fear for your children, expect to start at $400 (unless you_re going in January or February when the rates are a little less).

You can always stay across the river in New Jersey. There is a Days Inn and the hotel_s van will take you to Grand Central Station. From there you can pretty much see everything in NYC. Take the subway to all of your locations - it is very easy to use.

The Sheraton New York Hotel _ Tower is the best place, I believe for someone to stay in Manhattan. It is on the corner of 53rd and 7th in Midtown, just north of Times Square, and this 4 star hotel is available at only $179/night on Orbitz!!!

The Wellington Hotel is a pretty good location....it_s right near Times Square....from the front door you_ll be looking at Times Square....and it_s moderately priced

You_ll have to take the subway to Yankee stadium (or a cab). You don_t want to stay in a hotel in the Bronx where the stadium is....it_s too bad of an area and it is near nothing....

I am considering moving to Denver From Tennessee what is Denver Like?|128807

I am looking for someone who is from Denver. I am planning to move out there because my husband_s family is in Denver. Currently we have no family near us in Nashville. What are the pros and cons of Denver? What are some good neighborhoods to live in?

Denver_s awesome. I hope someday I_ll find myself back there. Good neighborhoods include, but are not limited to: Cherry Creek, Englewood, Lakewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch. There are a lot of great neighborhoods, actually. The weather is great out there. You get all 4 seasons, unlike the south where it_s just hot, hot, and hotter. What_s cool about Denver weather is that a lot of time when it snows, it_s sunny and beautiful the next day (every now and then you do get blizzards, though). There_s a lot of great shopping, lots of great music venues, and a lot of great bars (someone told me that Denver has more bars per capita than any other city in the U.S.) The people are very friendly there, and you_re close to the mountains. The only bad thing about Denver are the Bronco fans (not the Broncos, just the fans).

Metro Denver is a nice city, Very clean, traffic is horrible for a smaller city however _ it is expensive to live here. I moved here last year(2008) from northern New Jersey(metro NYC area). It has almost anything a person could ask for. Only problem is the economy now. Unemployment is high!

Like Karen said.move here and don_t look back. Moved here 16 years ago from NJ. to Castle Rock about 30min. south of Denver. Would never move back to Jersey or anywhere else. Love it here. Check out

Voted one of the top 10 family friendly towns by Better Homes and Gardens and Family Circle Magazines

i just moved away from Denver and miss it terribly. please see my answer in your other question and i explain Denver to you in it. Its a great town, especially if you have a family it feels very safe

I moved here from NY 20 years ago and never looked back, you will like the dry air and more days of sunshine than Florida, mild winters albeit we did have our fair share of blizzards last winter.. not the norm, concerts, broadway shows major sports teams great shopping and friendly folks.... Lowry and Stapleton are great newer areas to live in, close to the mountains...cons, winters can get cold at times and being from NY i still refer to it as a cowtown.
