What are some things to do in New York City that are very little known?|167973

We go to New York a lot and we pretty much have seen every main attraction. We_ve seen the museums, Broadway, and all the touristy spots. Are there any little known spots in any borough of the city that could provide a fun family activity?

You can:

Go to the Zoo in Flushing Meadows/Corona Park. Most people only care about the Bronx Zoo. In the Queens Zoo, you can see some animals, and on the other side, there is a farm where you can feed some of the animals there.

To get to that Zoo, you can take the 7 train, get off at the Willets Point/Citi Field stationm, walk to Flushing Meadows and you can follow the signs to get to the zoo.

If you like playing sports, the park on Shore Road in Bay Ridge is great. It_s huge, it has a lot of baseball fields, some basketball courts and tennis courts, and its right off the water so it_s always cooler there.

To get there, you can take the N down to 59th st, and walk west towards the water.

Or you can take the R and get off at Bay Ridge Boulevard, 77th st, 86th st or 95th st, walk west and you_ll get to the park on shore road.

Prospect Park is another cool place. You can take a nice long walk around the park. There is a zoo in the park, there is a lake where you can rent paddle boats and canoes and head out on the lake, plus there is a section of the park that has a carousel and a couple of other things.

Right next to Prospect Park, there is the Botanical Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum.

To get to Prospect Park, you can:

Take the B/Q to the 7th Avenue Station or the Prospect Park Station.

Take the F/G and get off either at the 7th Avenue station, or the 15th St.- Prospect Park station.

Or you can take the 2/3 to the Grand Army Plaza station or the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum station.

Try a rooftop bar/restaurant at sunset. 230 5th comes to mind... Very memorable.

What is there to do for FREE in Kansas City during the DAY for a young married couple?|168747

I_m not interested in nightlife, and I don_t want a list of restaurants/movie theatres. I need to know what to do during the day for free or really cheap. We are kind of new to the area so we_re friendless at the moment. Luckily we have each other.

The Nelson-Atkins Art Museum is lots of fun. I haven_t been in a while but I believe it is free on Fridays. You can walk around on The Plaza, visit Crown Center. Walk around on Westport. There are lots of things to do in KC during the day. I hope this helps!! :)

Check the website for the city of Kansas City and I don_t know what city you_re talking about since there_s one in both Missouri and Kansas.

Downtown Dallas. Doesn_t cost you much and it_s ok.

Is it okay to bring a camera to a broadway show?|191069

I_m going to the city tomorrow, and I_ll have a camera with me. I_ll be seeing a broadway show and I have no intention of recording it. Will the theater be fine with this as long as I_m not recording? And if not, will I be able to leave it somewhere safe?

It is absolutely okay if you have a camera in your purse or pocket at a broadway show!! Getting it confiscated is all nonsense. They don_t even usually check bags. I see shows quite frequently, and I always bring a camera with me to take pictures at the stage door. As long as you don_t have the camera out in the theatre, there isn_t a problem.

Uh...no. It_s NOT okay to take cameras into shows.

That should be common sense! The shows are copyrighted.

You aren_t generally allowed to bring cameras into most live performances!

I believe they confiscate them, when you enter, if they see them.

And if you were to use a flash, they would definitely remove it. That is a major distraction to the actors and the audience alike. And so many cameras automatically use their flash....

I don_t think so. My family and I went to a show a few years ago, and there was a girl below us. She was taking photos and it was funny because the performer actually pointed it out and people began laughing, but yeah, I wouldn_t recommend bringing a camera. Leave it in the hotel room maybe?

Well, if ur not using it, then maybe it wouldnt be a problem, but id leave it home or at the hotel anyway.

It is illegal, they say that at the begining of the show but if you don_t get caught and post it on the internet it is illegal for cops to arrest you without letting you know to take it down.

I brought one because it was my aniversary....BUT just to take pictures before the show inside the teather....I think its kind of rude when their flashing in the middle of the show.....so defenetely NO NO..

What are some great nieghborhoods less than 5-10 miles away or in downtown Chicago?|170337

I_m considering moving there. I already live in an _urban-esque_ atmosphere and I_d like to stay in a busy, urban, cultured, near local shops and resturants and of course night life area. Thanks!

Try Wicker park, Logan Square, Andersonville, Edgewater, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, West Town...

Below are links to two websiter about Chicago neighborhoods. One has info on the average rent, demographics, etc. The other has photos from the various neighborhods. Just click on a neighborhood on the maps to see the info.

Gas Guy is right in that the South Side can be really great, and is the most rapidly changing area of the city, but Beverly (no offense Gas Guy) is WAY south, like end of the earth south...beautiful, and extremely nice homes, but more like a suburb in a lot of ways than a part of the city (which is why a majority of city cops and firemen live there). If you still want to go for South Side atmosphere, which is a mix of young professionals buying their first condos and families who have been there for generations, as well as (just to be honest) some of the affordable housing in the post-housing projects era, go for Bridgeport, Taylor Street/UIC, and South Loop (where Mayor Daley now lives). The area is just a few minutes away from the Loop but it_s got amazing restaurants, bars, and street festivals.

I_m more of a North Side type, and feel that there_s a little more cultural activity and artsy fartsy stuff to do up there, and prefer Old Town, Lincoln Park, Bucktown, Logan Square, and Wrigleyville. For now, steer clear of Rogers Park...crime_s been troubling lately!

You could consider Oak Park. It is 15 min by Green Line from the loop and about 25% cheaper to rent or buy there than Lincoln Park and Lakeview. I think they are still pretty urban and people walk everywhere although it is technically outside the boundaries of the city of Chicago. There is a multitude of shopping there and restaurants, but for _nightlife_ you might be coming back into the city because there aren_t any night clubs there.

You could consider Evanston. It is convenient to public transportation, has a feeling of its own and is part of Northwestern University_s culture and atmosphere, and has great restaurants.

well were i live is great on the S-O-U-T-H S-I-DE the neighborhood is called mt.greenwood/beverly area. there are alot of good restaurants and great bars/clubs around. sure we don_t get to see that beautiful skyline that downtown residents see but hey thats what makes us southsiders and not yuppies

I live on the Southwest side of Chicago...9 miles southwest of downtown....Its the Garfield Ridge neighborhood...Midway airport is in this neighborhood...The neighborhood is very nice...If you are white, it will be even better for you since it is a majority white neighborhood...the only bad thing is I hope you have some money because the prices of the houses are a lot and you will get raped on taxes too since Chicago is trying to keep the minorities out of my neighborhood. Party neighborhood!

What do I do when I print the tickets for the greyhound?|164125

I_m boarding the greyhound soon and I chose to print out the tickets at home. Are the tickets my real tickets or do i have to exchange them for real tickets. Any tips for the greyhound would also be nice. Thank you so much for your time!

I don_t understand how you printed out tickets at home. Greyhound does not offer that option. You can ORDER the tickets on line...then they will mail them to you or you can pick them up at the ticket window when you go to the station. According to the site below and to my experience also, you cannot _print out_ the tickets at home. Maybe they offer that option in cetain locations...but not on their national website.

Exchanging them: fine idea

What are some dangerous areas in Miami?|175516

I_m planning on moving to Miami in about a year for college and getting an apartment with some roommates. That being said, I don_t want to find myself in a bad neighborhood. Could anyone please tell me what areas of Miami I should stay away from?

Most of the police stations are safe once inside. Otherwise it is pretty hairy in Dade County. Don_t get me wrong there are a lot of people who don_t get killed. It is hit and miss. Good luck.

ok stay the **** away from the projects,nw miami,hialeah,opa-locka,carol city,little haiti dem haitians will rob even yo shoes..stay aqay from lil havana ,overtown,n miami and brownsville good luck lol watch yo bak

what college are you going to? If you_re going to UM then def. stay in the coral gables/south miami area and you_ll be fine. Don_t go any more south than 152nd st and US1 and don_t go to Little Havana or Little Haiti....or downtown Miami llol

The only areas you should stay away from are - North Miami,Little Haiti,Carol City,Opalocka,Liberty City,Wynwood,Overtown,Perrine,Naranja,Go��
