Los of free activities - parades, tons of free museumes - notably the Air & Space and Natural History (great for kids), the National Zoo, plus things that relate to what they study in school, such as Revolutionary and Civil War reenactments, the Nat'l. Archives where they can see the Dec. of Independence, a ride to the top of the Washington Monument, and watching money being printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. <BR/>Then take a quick drive to DC's version of Niagra FGalls, Great Falls Nat'l. Park. <BR/><BR/>And all of these are FREE !!The DC Travelerhttp://www.thedctraveler.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-1167925831882153552007-01-04T09:50:31.883-06:002007-01-04T09:50:31.883-06:00I'm a tour guide for Gray Line here in NYC and came across your blog. I'm glad you all had a good time here in the city.<BR/><BR/>FYI, for 2006, the rack rate for the Marriott Marquis between Christmas and New Years for a standard room with a King sized bed was $550 per day and triple that on New Years Eve. (I had some newlyweds aboard my bus who spent their honeymoon here in NYC and who told me how much it cost when I asked.)<BR/><BR/>joelterryfriedland@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-1154581765780566202006-08-03T00:09:25.780-05:002006-08-03T00:09:25.780-05:00We staued at the Marriott Marquis on Times Square. My husband's company picked up the bill so I have no idea how much the room was. The hotel was nice (and definitely clean) but the elevator situation was enough to make me sure I'd never stay there again.The Family CEOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05604192093510402102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-1154387515078210662006-07-31T18:11:55.080-05:002006-07-31T18:11:55.080-05:00hello,<BR/><BR/>quick question...where did you stay? i'll be visiting NYC w/ my son in about 3 weeks and so far, we'll be in midtown. found a decent rate at a hotel i trust & love (read: clean, clean, clean!) for $239/night. i have seen a cheaper rate for the same hotel on Hotels.com and will probably buy through them...but i just wanted to know if you've been able to find some cheaper (yet SPOTLESS) alternatives. btw: i used to live in NYC so i know the city well.Common Centshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03897253253099859428noreply@blogger.com
