Lightbulb "The Big City"

Little post for anyone who might be going to "the big city" for the first time and might be feeling nervous about it -

I'd like to suggest picking an easy-to-find place to meet in case someone gets separated. Maybe I'm stating the obvious there - but it really is "the big city" and it might be "a smart thing to do," as the saying goes. And it really is easy to get separated, especially when you're sightseeing - it literally happens every day there.
But really, it's nice these days - it's a lot "cleaner" than it used to be. Just remember that it's the big city. And watch for traffic, too - especially crossing the street - there can be a "Walk" sign and you can still have taxicabs speeding through a right turn. That actually (i.m.o.) is the most dangerous part of the traffic in Manhattan - people see the "Walk" sign and start crossing, not realizing there's still traffic making a right turn.

But anyway, here's wishing you guys a FUN DAY!!!

P.S. - It's REALLY easy to get re-located if you get lost, in Manhattan. ALL the North-South streets are easy to get to using the East-West ones. Just know whether you're south of Central Park or not - the Southern boundary of Central Park is at about 60th Street. The numbers increase going from South to North.
So if you're below the number 60, just head in the direction that the numbers start increasing as you're walking. That'll get you to Central Park, and you can get re-situated from there. The best landmark to use might be the Empire State Building; that's about 25 blocks south of Central Park (on or near the corner of 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, I believe.)

Be careful with the subways, they usually or always have the same numbers going south and north, but they're separate trains on separate tracks or even separate platforms. Crime-wise they're pretty safe these days though; just crowded.

Ghost Tracker or any other city savvy person - can you tell me the best way to get from Grand Central to the area of the book signing? How long a walk is it? Subways?

Take the Green Line to 14th street/Union Square. The Green Line is the 4, 5, or 6. They all stop there.

What he said... but the 4 and 5 are express trains, so they will go to Union Square in one stop. Also, B&N is at the north end of the park, so in the subway look for the exit signs for 17th St.

OMG! I wish I had known! I've totally planned my weekend wrong. I'm visiting NY for the first time ever because my friend is there for a few months for work. I'm supposed to be leaving on Sunday though. May have to call in for the next couple of days...

I hope she comes back to Chicago to do a signing! I would think maybe she would since it was filmed in Chicago... SO jealous of the East Coast right now!

As far as cameras, almost everyone has a camera on their cell phones these days, so I wouldn't think they would be able to stop anyone from taking pictures while in line. I could be wrong, because I've never been to a signing like this before, but someone mentioned it probably meant no posed pictures which seems like it might be more likely.

Have fun everyone!!

The NOTS thing is pretty cool. Might mean the day will be entertaining. I guess I'll have to take the day off of work.
