I’d recommend The Egde at Hudson Yards for your skyscraper experience … outdoor viewing deck, glass floor, 100 floors up. Pretty mild here right now for mid-January; low 40s today but getting colder with snow back end of next week. Where abouts in Jersey is your work visit - I live in Montclair but work in the city at the WTC. Never seen a City shirt on a tourist in +20yrs of living here!

Definitely. Amazing how the mind plays tricks on you when walking on the glass even though you know it’s safe but still think you are going to fall down to your death!

Bump!
I'm in Noo Yoik for Paddy's day, staying in Times Square area.
Any tips for watching the game at 07.15 local time?

If you need somewhere in NYC to watch the footy, I'd recommend the Football Factoy at Legends. I went to watch Arsenal Chelsea years ago there, was like a speak easy, sneaking in and going downstairs whilst it was still dark outside.

Loads of screens, Decent atmosphere and an "interesting" breakfast menu including Chicken Curry and Rice

We watched the England vs USA game at The Triple Crown Ale House, 330 7th Ave, New York, NY 10001, loads of tvs above the bar and was a good atmosphere i think the locals don't really get football .

Legends bar, right outside the Empire State building. They open at 7 and do a breakfast as well.

5.15 for me, I have seen Legends mentioned on other forums, sounds a good bet. The closest I have got was a Brewer in Breck who gets in at 6 am on a Saturday and said I would be welcome. I would have to watch the first half in the car. No chicken curry but dog is welcome.

Think I will be watching in bed.

Hey buddies!

Just booked a trip to NY for 4 days. Keep any suggestions coming! I’ll browse this thread again before going.

Got tickets to see the Yankees…in the cheap seats, on $12.
Anyone been there before? I’ve no idea how to get to the stadium. Uber? Underground?

I went on the underground in NY on my only other trip there and was totally confused. I lived In London for 10 years and was fine but couldn’t figure NYs system out at all!

We went to the Yankees in April and got the tube - it was pretty straightforward. It's more of a spectacle than an actual sporting event but is worth doing for the experience.

Google maps worked for me while I was there. I found the underground system confusing too but the maps made it easier.

My favourite thing to do was the 9/11 museum but I believe this has been closed down now. I thought the Empire State was a waste of money and best for views was the Rockefeller centre.

9/11 is still open. We went up the Rockefeller rather than the Empire and it’s definitely the way to go.
Beer Culture is worth a visit if you like craft beer.

That’s good news. I thought I had read the museum had closed. I’m planning on going back next year so hopefully still is then. Will definitely be trying Beer Culture.

There was a much smaller museum sort of thing a little bit uptown from WTC, close to the Hudson, that one has closed, whether people might be mixing you up with the main one.

Some good craft beer bars in Brooklyn and a nice walk back to Manhatten over the Brooklyn Bridge with spectacular views, was there in October unfortunately all my teenage kids wanted to do was go shopping

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. We went to see the NY Rangers last time and my daughter loved it…all the Razamataz!
So after we’ve been, the sporting events we’ll have been to together are these…NY Rangers, NY Yankees, Hamburg vs St Pauli, Newport County vs Coventry City.
