    So I just booked a room @ Fairfield inn on 40th ave in queens by the queensboro bridge.

    @ only 2.6 miles from Central Park, I can't imagine a cab or uber would cost too much.

    Can anyone offer some advice on good places to grab a mid-afternoon pre-show dinner around there?


    You don't want to cab or uber from there. The subway is right there! Take the N/Q line to 57th street station and walk a few blocks to 59th street Columbus circle and hop on the A train from 59th street station to 81st or 86th. This will take you half the time of an Uber or Cab and cost you MUCH less.
    You're assuming that all those trains will be running well on a Saturday.

    Sounds like you had a traumatising weekend subway experience ;)

    Heh. Not traumatizing but certainly not worth the headache. I bought a bike in 2008 and prefer to commute that way (except in icy/snowy winter conditions, of course).

    Now that I've moved to the Boston area, though, I miss the MTA. Weekday trains here are worse than weekend NYC trains. So I'm biking here as well, but it's not set up as well for cyclists. Nowhere near as safe as NYC.

    I joined in 2012, and I've received other emails (on and off) since then. Weird.

    Maybe GC *did* want to interview me for the managing editor job last fall, and I just didn't get the email.

    Got email. Lost again. Interestingly, the Stubhub GA count has grown by the hour today.
