Where can I find a street map of Manhattan which also includes subway lines and stations?|103235

It seems that every map I find only has one or the other, but i_m trying to figure out what line to take to get as close as possible to a particular address.

  • Hopstop.com is pretty helpful. You can just print out directions from the website.

  • OnNYTurf has a modified Google map of the city with the subway stations and lines all shown. Sounds like exactly what you_re looking for:

    Like any Google map application, there_s a search box where you can type in an address and easily locate the lines and stations that are closest to it.

  • Get a free subway map at the station _Token_ booth
  • Do you get a 360 degree view from the Signature Room at the 95th?|128087

    I_m going to Chicago this June and am planning on going to the John Hancock Observatory. We are not sure if we_re going to go to the observation deck (94th floor) or the restaurant. The only thing holding us back from going to the restaurant is that we_re afraid we won_t get a chance to see a 360 degree view. I was wondering if there is a deck surrounding the restaurant, so that we could see the view from all angles? Or is there no deck surrounding the restaurant and are you stuck with the view you get while sitting in the restaurant?

  • You don_t even get a 360 from the observatory. There is only a 3 sided view. The restaurant has other people sitting at the tables, it would be rude to walk around to other tables in order to see the view.

    If you want 360 you have to go to Sears Tower. Even so, I prefer the Hancock. More to do in the neighborhood.

  • No, there are only like 2 or 3 sides that you can look out of but you see all the important stuff. You can get up and walk around. It_s a good time.
  • How old do you have to be to drive in New York City?|128568

    When you turn 16, are you permitted to drive to school with a learner_s permit? Where else can you drive and during what hours?

  • Do not listen to any answers saying you can drive at night or drive with someone with you!!!!!!!!! You mentioned New York CITY. I live in NYC and been here my whole life. Ask DMV yourself if you dont believe what I am going to tell you

    In new york CITY (5 boroughs) you CANNOT drive with a learners permit, PERIOD unless the car has dual breaks (drivers ed cars). If you get caught your screwed. The only way to get practice is to go with a drivers ed instructor, or go to Long Island where driving with a permit with a licensed driver over 21 is permitted.

    Keep in mind that the same applies to your license- you cannot drive till you get your class D license, which will happen either after you finish driver_s ed and you_re 17, or, you wait until you turn 18.
    Be careful and good luck

  • With a learner_s permit, you may drive within New York City:

    EXCEPT at an MTA Bridge or tunnel or roadway within a NYC Park.

    The vehicle MUST have a dual brake and a dual mirror.

    You MUST be supervised by a parent/guardian, NYS DMV Certified Driving Instructor or High School Driver_s Ed Instructor.

    You may only drive generally during daylight and outside of NYC NOT on a parkway in Westchester County.

    If you are sixteen and get your license within the first six months you can only drive outside the city and nassua county (except with a supervising driver as above).

    You can not drive alone in NYC unless you ALSO obtained a driver_s ed certificate (separate from driving school) and then only at seventeen.

  • You have to be 18 to drive in NYC at all, meaning that you can get your permit in NYC but you cant use it there.


    A DJ license and permit cannot be used in NYC at all, which means you have to go to Long Island and certain places in Westchester.


    Here is the website that will answer all of your questions. My best friend got pulled over when she was 17 driving to Kennedy Airport from Massapequa.

  • you are allowed to drive alone to school after you have taken the road test and received your full junior license (if under 18) and you can only drive from 5am-9pm ... at least for long island its like that...

  • Yes, my friend you are permitted to drive with a learner_s permit, but between the hours of 7am and 7pm. After 7pm, a license adult will have to be in the car with you.

    Good luck

  • If you have a permit you can drive with a person over 18. If you have a license you can drive on your own.

  • You can get your driver_s license the day you turn 18 but no later
  • How long is the transit from Grand Central Terminal to White Plains at the peak morning hours?|138598

    This is my first trip to New York City and I have to go to White Plains on the Metro-North Railway during the peak morning hours on a Monday. How long will it take for me to get to White Plains from Grand Central Terminal? I need to plan so I get to where I need to be on time.

  • You will need to take the Metro North Railroad (not the normal train). Some trains take 50 minutes and some take 35 minutes, so make sure to allow at least 1 hour if you don_t want to be late.
    check here for schedules and fares:


    http://as0.mta.info/mnr/schedules/sched_��

  • The times range from 35 to 50 minutes, depending on the train you catch from the hours of 6AM to 9AM. You can use the link below to find out actual departure/arrival times.

    I got into Loyola New Orleans for the spring 2009 semester any tips?|106093

    I just found out I got in, and I have less than two weeks to make a decision, so any tips on what the weather is like in the spring in new orleans? Packing tips? What can I expect from Loyola?

  • If you are enrolling for the winter/spring semester, it can get cold in Jan and Feb. I remember one year, Mardi Gras was freezing and I couldn_t be outside for long and went back to campus. Then, a year later I was wearing shorts and a small top to Mardi Gras so it can be very different year to year. As for the spring in NOLA , it can be warm and muggy but it_s the south so that_s the norm. Also, be ready for rain in the spring. Loyola is awesome. It_s smaller than other bigger universities in the area, Tulane or UNO. The classes are smaller and most professors are helpful, they aren_t dealing with very large classes and endless grading of papers. The campus is very easy to navigate and again its on the smaller size so if it_s hot or cold outside you can get from building to building quickly. If you decide to go, and stay on campus, I prefer Buddig Hall. The dorm rooms are older but you only have to share your shower and toilet with 3 other girls, and there_s a sun deck on the roof.

  • The weather year round is just great. It can get very hot starting around April. The coldest it can get is in the 20s and that usually doesn_t last long. It does rain quite a bit even with the sun out, which I think is kind of beautiful.

    Loyola (and Tulane, which is right next to it) is a good school to me, if you were to compare it to other colleges in Louisiana. It is very small and has very small classes (11:1 student teacher ratio). It is a pretty diverse place: lots of study abroad students from Spain, France, etc. The people and students are extremely nice. It is a great place to me because even though it is very small, there are so many different kinds of people. It is just so diverse.

  • Spring in nola is great. You will have a great time. You will have many crawfish boils to go too. Mardi gras is very near too!!!! You get off for mardi gras!!!!!! you will love it!!!!!!!!! There is some great shopping and lots to do!!!!!!!!
  • What is the cheapest time to fly from Alaska to Hawaii?|125305

    I have three teenagers that live with their mother and i i want to bring to Hawaii to visit me but i dont know when its the best time, I see the price wars for flights but that doesnt affect Hawaii most of the time only mainland.

  • Anytime outside of peak season (late spring/summer) is best to travel to anywhere.Try October to December (Tho Christmas and New Year prices will get hiked) and also try January to April. Guaranteed to have the lowest prices then..

  • When nobody is watching !

  • Universal rule of thumb. Flights are cheaper in the off-season (Which Hawaii really doesn_t have). But you can generally get cheaper flights between Febuary and April.

  • my friend told me the best time to go would be late afternoon. around 5
  • How is Southern Ohio different from Northern Ohio?|108581

    I am curious about the intra-state stratification in Ohio. I have been all over Northern Ohio, but not below Columbus. In what way is it different from Northern Ohio? I_m curious more about cultural differences. I can pretty much predict the weather differences and the physiographic differences.

    I have heard similar things (that the northern part is very different from the southern part) about Virginia, Florida, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.

    How are they different?

  • On the back of most seed packets, there is a map of the USA. When we moved from Kent, Ohio, we moved from the light blue area into the light green area.

    Cincinnati is far more cosmopolitan than anything I experienced in the Akron-Kent-Cleveland area.

    Physio-graphically, Cincinnati is on top of and in the valleys between an alluvial plain. This is where the glaciers ended. It was also a bed for the inland sea, so you have a lot of marine fossils embedded in the limestone.

  • well i can not find much of a cultural difference because well

    1. Cincinnati has the Bengals Cleveland has the browns
    Bengals are good browns are awful

    2. Cincinnati has the reds Cleveland has the Indians .....
    Indians are good reds suck.

    both citys love sports and music and entertainment

    there really is not much of a difference at all ... were both next to water and stuff also ... soo yea


    oo yea Cincinnati is south and Cleveland is north BTW

  • Northern is flat, southern is hilly
    northern is liberal, southern is more conservative - except for the big cities, they are all liberal across the state. The democrat strong holds infrastructure is degraded, crumbling.
