[nagdu] We're going! We're going! We're going to NYC!

[The Pawpower Pack]

Hi, Daryl! 
Oh, you lucky girl. I love New York.  I am not sure what all is involved in the ny pass thing, but central park is beautiful and fun.  Also, if you can go to a Broadway Play. I had Sign Language interpretation for Phantom, and it was amazing.  
One thing to think about is that everything in NYC is more spendy, so you may, if you have room, want to pack some snacky-type things for the hotel to cut costs, like jerky, or dried fruit or whatever.  
I love working my dog in NYC! It was one of the defining moments of our partnership. I'm Deafblind, so the only thing I could tell is that she was wooshing around things, people, other dogs, hotdog and food sellers, cars.  It was the most amazing experience.  We actually got separated from the sighted hearing members of my group because my dog just cut through that throng, like a hot knife through butter. It was amazing. So my best advice is to just trust your dog.  NYC is unique and there is no other place like it.  
I have no experience with hotels but you are right, they do cost.  Perhaps you could find a cheaper one on long island in the not rich parts, lol.  I hope you get that worked out! 
Good luck, and enjoy!

>> Hi!
>> I posted earlier in the spring about wanting to go to NYC over Christmas. the first - and most volatile - part of booking this is now completed... we bought our flights!  We were able to book a nonstop flight for the price of a 1-stop flight with layovers in Chicago or Houston... so one plane, no worries about deplaning and having time/ability to take Jenny out to relieve... Both flights are nonstop through Newark.
>> 
>> I have several questions:
>> 1) We are not impressed by size and price of hotels in NYC.  We are considering staying in a B&B or with a host family in the city. Has anyone done this? Pros/Cons?
>> 2) We're buying a New York Pass, including entrance fees for like 75 attractions in the city. Any recommendations?
>> 3) I am slightly intimidated by the amount of people in the city, the size of Grand Central terminal, etc.  Any pointers on how to just chill out and not pass this freaked-outness onto my dog?
>> I am sure there's more... but we're GOING!
