So I will be travelling solo to the MSG shows and was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat? Never been to NY before either, so if you are from there and wouldn't mind showing me around the city, that would be awesome! I can't afford a hotel by myself so I will probably stay in a hostel, I will only be using it to sleep in anyway. That is unless some other singles want to share a room.
keep on rockin' in the free world.

    I'm going solo too, done it many times including up to NYC (I live in Virginia). I am cheap, so I will be staying in a hostel. Check out American Dream Hostel. Never stayed there, but looks decent.

    First time in NYC!? Awesome! I can recommend Chelsea Hostel, it's really clean and downtown (which is way better than midtown). Also, for the ladies... if you're on FB, check out the group PJ Touring Girls, there is also PJ Touring Guys ;)

    I've done solo, many times to NYC. My hotel stay were just across the MSG. The subway was easy to do from msg to Radio City Music Hall. That's where you want to go, right up the top & check out the sweet view of NYC. :)

    I have been traveling solo to see Pearl Jam all over the North East since 2003.

    Taking 12 hour road trips is a norm for me. But this time I think I will be flying. I am getting too old to drive for long distance :)
