Hotels near New York Skyports Seaplane Base - NYS, New York

Long Island City is a very mixed neighbourhood - industrial, working class, and areas being gentrified. Not everyone would feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood. But there is hip stuff developing.

The best way to understand Manhattan is to do a lot of walking and use the Subway. We visited all the well established attractions plus walked the length of Central Park from N to S as well as taking in an NHL game at Madison Square Garden & an NFL game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Our planned "expensive" meal was a Club A steakhouse (7/10), and out favorite meal was at Grimaldi's Pizza Restaurant just over the Brooklyn Bridge. If you are keen on Sports, go to Finnerty's Bar near Penn St station on 34th Street.

Wonderful place to walk around. Food is amazing. Walking the Promenade is over the op. Go down to the pier and catch a ferry for a terrific Manhattan view. Stop at Governor's Island and tour the old fort. Back in Brooklyn walk along the river catching views of all the converted piers. Loads to see, bring good walking shoes. That Brooklyn Bridge will get you into another world.

Great location and a reasonably comfortable bed, with basic coffee/shower amenities—that’s where the positives end. Housekeeping was disorganized (no English, gave me a duvet insert with no cover and never delivered it over three days; didn’t make the bed, didn’t restock coffee pods, no trash liners). Free Wi-Fi was ~10 Mbps and too slow for most apps. Not recommended.

We saw the Rockettes Christmas spectacular. And it was. We Ate a wonderful dinner at “Butter”. We enjoyed both Chelsea Market and Hudson Yards. We walked the Highline. It was mid 30s but we enjoyed the weather. The only drawback was the taxi fees to get to midtown. On some occasions we could walk faster. There is only one NYC and everybody should have NYC on their list of places to visit

Need to stay at more places and explore more around Brooklyn, mainly explored Manhattan rather than Brooklyn so cannot say much for now. Can only say that DUMBO is an amazing place and everyone that can visit there should visit.
