Fun place to visit and take the family! We stayed at the Millenium Hotel, right in Times Square. What a great location. Right across from Good Morning America. Clean hotel and friendly, helpful staff. Make sure you utilize the Double Decker Busses. We were able to see so much more by purchasing the bus passes. Another great thing was the "Beast Boat Ride." We almost didn't make it onto the boat because we were so busy, but glad we did. This was the best part of our trip. Flying across the New York Harbor at 45 mph was wild! Takes you right up to the Statue of Liberty and the staff is just crazy. The staff took pictures of us on the boat ride and made it a very memorable part of our trip. And the shopping can be very affordable if you just look around. There are many reasonable shops right near Macy's. Ellens Stardust Diner is a great place to take the kids for a meal. They serve hamburgers/hotdogs, spaghetti, chicken; almost anything a kid would love and the waiters and waitresses sing. Was a very enjoyable place to eat. Would highly recommend it. Everyone should visit NYC!
