Make plans to attend NY Comicon Feb 6-8

[Flynne]

Crap! Now I have to come up with the money for a NYC trip for the wife and I, becuase there's no way I go to NYC without her (she'd kill me), and no way we both get near Broadway and not see a half a dozen shows. My wallet curses you, Doc!

[drmego]

Just doing my part to help New York City's economy.

[Mego Milk]

DOC!

2 for 5 bucks!
Looks like I'm not bringing home profit this year...just lots of MEGO goodness!

don't know my table number yet...but I'll be there!
aw yeah titans!

I just booked a room at the Best Western - about half-a-block from the Javits Center.
It was $139 a night.

Go to Hotels - Hotel reviews from people like you - Welcome to hotels.com and enter Javits Center as the location. I saw a Comfort Inn
on W 36th for $125 a night for Friday-Sunday.

I'm there. I now live just across town on the east side of NYC so if any old timers are coming and would like to hook up just send me a PM.

[BlackKnight]

and I'm selling all China items 2 for $5.

Man !!!!
Why do I live on the other side of the United States..... There's probably going to be a figure there too huh ? ........

[The Sentry]

Man, I hate not being rich! I would so go if I had the money!

I wasn't planning on going-I hate crowds-but the pressure is mounting.

For those of you who may be put off by the price of hotels in Manhattan, I recommend looking at prices in the suburbs where subway train access is usually very good and perhaps rooms are cheaper. If you can get a room in Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Elmhurst or Rego Park, NY a train ride to NYC is usually 30 minutes.

If you check Flushing, NY it's usually 1 hour by local train, the #7. Flushing is like China Town in the suburbs here but there are some decent hotels like The Marriot. The advantage to the #7 is it's elevated and before it goes underground you are treated to vistas of Old and New Shea Stadium and some really great views of Manhattan.

You can access train info here:

MTA NYC Transit - Subway Service Information

You could stay further into Queens or even Long Island and take the Long Island Rail Road, LIRR. Travel times are longer and the fare is more money for this train service, ( $5 and up per trip compared to $2 per ride on subway), but those trains are better quality and have less stops:

You could also stay North of NYC. Maybe there is a member here who lives upstate and could recommend a place to stay? Here's the map but I can't say what areas are good; just don't get a hotel room in the Bronx:

I wanted to go for the Wonder Woman movie showing but this an added surprise. Can't wait to see what's going on.

Got an email from NYCC saying Seth Green, Matt Seinreich, and Breckin Meyer from Robot Chicken will be hosting a discussion panel and signing session. Should be cool.
