I live in Brooklyn, New york and need a not so expensive limo service to take me and my friends to Manhattan for my birthday. We will be mostly staying in Manhattan for the whole day I just need the limo to take us around. It’s going to be roughly 16 people and I need the price for the limo service. I only asked 1 and the price was 0 an hour so my guests would have to pay 0 per person. i want something cheaper if possible. please help thank you^_^

I’m planning to visit NYC with my family from overseas in early July. I’ve seen how crazy driving is in Manhattan and the surrounding area so I’m not planning to drive but rather park my car at the airport. Is there a parking place where you can leave your car for 2-3 days? If so, is this a safe place to park with little possibility of stuff stolen from your car? Thanks. Any advice will be appreciated.

I live in nyc and my ceremony is going to be in manhattan and my reception in queens about 20 minutes away (not counting the traffic) which may make it longer. When i started telling people where the wedding was going to be a few cousin of mine told me that they won’t be making it to the ceremony but only to the reception because it would be hard for them to get to manhattan and then to queens. I understood because they don’t have a car. But this weekend i was talking to an aunt of mine who’s like my second mom and she was telling me that she rather go to the reception and not the ceremony (she doesn’t have a car either) and it actually hurt me alittle. She’s been like my second mom and besides my mom she would be the second person that i wanted to be in my ceremony.
The problem is that my groomsmen are also my cousins and they are the drivers in the family and the ones that have cars but because they are going to be in the limo. My aunts will have to find their own way to get to the ceremony and reception. This would mean they would have to get a cab from their home to manhattan and then another cab from manhattan to queens which i understand that is not cheap especially in this time.
It doesn’t bother me that some people won’t come to the ceremony but it does bother me that my aunt won’t be going? Should i say something? I don’t want to act like a spoiled brat because i understand where she is coming from.
First off i didn’t suggest a cab i said that i understand her point of view because she would have to take a cab from her home which is only 10 minutes away from the church. The reason I chose my church in manhattan is because is the church i have been going to since i was a little girl so i always knew i wanted to get married there. I love the idea of telling her to go in the limo with us. I will tell her that.
Thanks everybody for your opinions
alittle more info. My aunt live 10 minutes away in bus from where the ceremony is going to be. I live in the upper west side and she lives in the upper east side. If she would actually take a cab from her home to the church is actually a 5 minute cab ride. She is really close to me and i think that’s the reason is hurt me alittle that she said she won’t go to the ceremony. I will pay her the cab ride that will be ( I know because i take the cab ride all the time and i live across the street from the church). I understand the traffic here in nyc i’ve lived here all my life but i was kind of shocked that she told me she didn’t want to go to the ceremony when she’s so close to it.

I will be in Manhattan doing some sightseeing on Wednesday, 5/26. It’s going to be 6 in my party (3 adults + 1 teenager + 2 young kids) We have to be at JFK airport no later than 5:30PM to catch an international flight that night. So we have the whole morning to roam around and do some sighseeing in Manhattan (We plan to check out Empire State building, Ground Zero, Time Square etc.) We will wrap up our sightseeing by 4pm. What will be the cheapest and quickest way for us to get to JFK from Manhattan (mid-town)? I can think of few options :

1 Take a cab (but will one cab accept 6 of us? may be I can send 5 of them by cab and I can myself try public transportation)

2 We all take public transportation. But I am really not sure what kind of public transportation is available and what I need to do there. Also, when 6 of us take public transportation, it’s probably going to cost a certain amount as well, so not sure if taking cab for 5 (if possible all 6) is better

3. Another option is keeping my rental car, which I will be returning on Wednesday morning, all the way till Wednesday late afternoon and then return the car at JFK instead of returning in Manhattan. But this option will cost me an additional 0 for my rental car, as they will charge me for a full day of rental if I return the car after 11:30AM. (My rental is expensive because I am dropping off at a different location)

I am completely at a loss as this is my first New York trip and have absolutely no knowledge of what I am getting myself into.

I’m flying to N.Y. this week and was advised not to take a shuttle or taxi from JFK into the city because it’s just too expensive. Any native New Yorkers out there have any advice on the cheapest way to get into Manhattan? I’m going with the family so it’ll be 4 of us.

I am flying out of JFK Airport early on Saturday morning. I am coming from Boston. I will most likely take the Bolt Bus around midnight into NYC. I should get in around 4:15am or so. What is the best way to get from Manhattan to the airport?

I’m going to NYC for the first time from the 8th-15th of May. I’m staying in the Ozone Park area of Queens near the JFK airport. What would the best way to get around Queens and what should I see there? And then I plan to go into Manhattan and sightsee. What’s a metrocard and would that help me as well? I just want to save some of my money and not have to take cabs and such.

Thanks
