So hopefully central to everything we want to see and do, or without too much of a taxi ride or walking.

We used the subway, when we were there. It's actually quite safe, and also 'felt' safe (even as PTSDer!). It actually felt a lot safer than London's underground system. And was quick and easy.

Anthony I found this online -
Madison Avenue in NYC is home to some of the most extravagant shops in the entire world. Passing through Midtown, the Upper East Side, Spanish Harlem, and Harlem, Madison Ave has become a shopping haven for NY tourists as well as local New Yorkers. Named after Madison Square, which was named in the honor of former President James Madison, this historical avenue embraces the diversity of New York by maintaining lots of character and enchantment. Along with Fifth Avenue Shopping, Madison Ave shops include some of the world's most upscale boutiques, jewelers and hair salons. With most of the shopping on Madison being located between 57th Street and 80th Street, you will have plenty of luxurious shops to choose from that will satisfy all of your retail therapy needs.

Have fun carrying Nicolette's bags :)
Happy Vacation guys!

I checked the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Agency) website and they have some excellent information for tourists, including maps and also a page with iPhone apps with subway and bus maps, schedules, and tourist information. Some are free and some cost $2.00 to $5.00. You might find something to help you plan your trip.

Personally, I love public transportation and believe it to be the best way to get to know a city and its inhabitants.

Congratulations on the vacation! You both work so hard and deserve this break!
