A short walk away from BlogHer (Hilton NY)

If you’re pressed for time, but still want to get out and explore on your own, the Hilton New York is centrally located in Midtown. You’ll have NO problem walking to many of the MUST SEE spots in the city.

Here are a few of MY favorite picks within a VERY short walk of the hotel.


Carnegie Deli – I NEVER go into the city without stopping in for a big bowl of Matzoh Ball Soup and a GIGANTIC sandwich (worth spending the extra money to split it, you’ll never finish the whole thing). Located one block up and 1 1/2 over (at 7th and 55th). The Carnegie as well as the Stage Deli (a block away) are what the NY Deli is ALL ABOUT.

Looking for a little CULTURE? The MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) is a quick block away on 53rd. Admission is free for all visitors during Target Free Friday Nights, held every Friday evening from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.(or $20 at other times).

A quick three block walk down to W. 50th and you’ll find yourself at Radio City Music Hall. They offer Stage Door tours and maybe if you’re lucky you’ll get a peak at the Rockettes rehearsing!

If it’s tours that you want – one of my favorites is the NBC Tour at 30 Rock (a few blocks from Radio City). You’ll be AMAZED at how SMALL the Saturday Night Live set REALLY is! Who knows, you might just run into Jimmy Fallon or Meredith Vierra in the hallways!

The Ed Sullivan Theater – home of Late Night with David Letterman is a mere block and a 1/2 up from the Hilton at 53rd & Broadway. Next week I’ll tell you how you might be able to score FREE tickets if they happen to be filming while you’re there.

Me? I just enjoy walking down Broadway (a block or so away) down to Times Square to see what’s doing (oh and visit my friend Richie, who sells tickets on the street by the  TKTS booth).

Even if you’re pressed for time with all of the sessions and parties going on – you should be able to take in LOTS of sights right in your own NEIGHBORHOOD.

Have fun and see you in August!

    and electrician electrical cables/wires from online retailers.
    Most of the times. If the battery is low, investment in small, easy to manage, repair and
    maintain electrical system while others can also install the electronic controls

  13. You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I to find this matter to be actually something which
    I think I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for
    me. I am looking ahead in your subsequent submit, I will try to get the hold of it!

Michael Phelps won his first individual gold at London 2012 – and his 20th Olympic medal – by beating Ryan Lochte in the men’s 200m individual medley.American Phelps, 27, led from the front and looked as if he might break the world record.He missed out but claimed a 16th gold medal,Beats Solo, becoming the first man to defend an Olympic swimming title twice, having won this event in Athens and Beijing.Hungary’s Laszlo Cseh was third, while Britain’s James Goddard was seventh.”Somebody told me that, with 25m left, I was under world record pace, so it’s a little frustrating not to get that,Beats By dre,” said Phelps, who finished in 1:54.27 – 0.27 shy of the mark held by countryman Lochte.”But to win a gold medal and be the first to three successive titles is something pretty special and something I’m pretty happy for.”Lochte, 27, had entered the men’s 200m backstroke final earlier in the evening and looked a little jaded in his second race of the night. But his silver means he has now won two golds and five medals in all at London 2012.Phelps has won two golds and two silvers at the Aquatics Centre, having already overtaken former gymnast Larissa Latynina as the Olympian with the most medals.

He told me that everyone is supporting me. It was very special and he said to say ‘hi’ to my mum.”Goddard clocked a time of 1:59.05 and said: “I tried to go for it and paid for it down the back, but it’s a been a fantastic experience.”

  21. Your style is so unique in comparison to other folks I have read stuff from. Thank you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I’ll just book mark this web site.

  24. When I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I receive four emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is a means you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

  27. This is the right webpage for anyone who would like to find out about this topic. You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a topic that has been discussed for years. Wonderful stuff, just wonderful!
