Comment by schotzi on April 18, 2014 at 11:32am: It really depends on what you want to spend - I would just do a search - the ships are on the west side of Manhattan and are docked near the Intrepid Museum - don't miss this - it's a terrific exhibit - you might want to purchase tickets for the shuttle exhibit before hand - I think they're limited. You could drive for convenience of getting in and out of the city; however, plan on either taking subways, taxis or walking everywhere in Manhattan - no sense in taking your car places - where there is some street parking - the way to get around is non-vehicle. Plan on taking comfortable shoes. Subways are pretty much from 7th avenue to Lexington looking east west and boundless - north and south. I live just outside the City and am from NYC. Plan on getting to the boats early - there will be a long line the later in the day it goes. As far as hotels, try some of the boutique hotels - weekend rates are usually cheaper in NYC than weekday rates - which would be more expensive for business travelers. If your son's boat is on Staten Island, you might want to bring your car in - that is more easily accessible by car. However, a trip on the Staten Island Ferry will give you great views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. There is no shortage of things to do in the city.

Comment by spomss on April 18, 2014 at 11:28am: nice Barbiew!! yup I know where Victor is...love the Eastview Mall...I am just up the road in Oswego...love the Amtrak to get to NYC...nice 5 hours or so and you are at Penn Station...and the subways make it so easy to get around...hope you can connect with others going-would be nice to stay at the same hotel??

hi mariekg-thanks for those great tips for places to stay!!

Comment by mariekg on April 18, 2014 at 11:20am: Hey NY Mom's! I am the Mom of an SR in Basic week 3 right now. I live in Staten Island and I can say if you plan to stay in Manhattan the Marriot Marquis great view of the west side!!!..Close to the 9/11 museum .Staten Island has a Hlton Garden Inn (1100 South Ave, Staten Island, NY 10314 )not close to the manhattan side but it has a great Brunch on Sunday, it's new and only about a 15min drive to one of the Staten Island Piers they dock ships at...maybe even your sailor's!!
