Re: Visiting New York!
Did you make your reservation by giving the hotel your credit card no.? In addition to Elvira's suggestion, I would also call your credit card company (taking note of time, date and name of person at cc company) to inform them not to make any payments to the hotel and that you will dispute any charges from them if they appear on your statement.

I called my credit card company & informed them, they made a note on my account & said to call back if I got charged & they would refund the money straight away. I always keep a note of when & who I talk to & what is said, it has come in handy many times! Thanx girls.

Are you getting excited Partystar?
Do buy the 'Time Out' magazine when you arrive as it has all the latest event listings.
Meanwhile, here's a list of attractions and a great interactive map:

Re: Visiting New York!
Yes, very excited. Hahaha, I'm definitely a bit psychic (or is that psycho?!?). I'll try to remember to buy it, guides are always good. I still need to find out what my friend wants to do while were there. Right now, I'm just a tad worried because I have no warm clothes, we only wear 1 layer here. I suppose I can layer my clothes to keep warm, thank god I bought my coat from England!

It's only a 20 degree (f) drop from here, so it can't be that bad! We're having a cold spell here at the moment, so we're getting a little taste of winter!

Re: Visiting New York!
Yeah, it's 73 in my house, average of 55 degrees outside & in NY it said it was 35 degrees. I like it hot, so my heating bill is through the roof, even though some would call this mild! I usually have the heating at 80 degrees, but we're trying to save money at the mo.
