What kind of neighborhood is 101st Street on Manhatten's Upper West Side? 
http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=dspv&&itid=161199439&itdx=&itty=add&from=f

Thinking of staying at a cheap hostel and walking the 4 miles from Hammerstein.  Is it feasible to walk from that location on 101st to Yankee Stadium also?  Does anyone recommend visiting the 9/11 site or is it just all under construction now? 

Put me down for 2 attending the 17th preparty, although not til later in the afternoon.  I'm flying solo the 15th to it. 

Fuck, just being at a bar that plays 5 hours of straight GNR is going to be a highlight.  Although some may view it as stupid, I think it'd be cool to have sticker name tags just so I know who the hell I'm talking to.

that link doesnt work anymore.

the area is ok but not great. im not familiar with a hostel there- you should do some research on it to make sure it is alright!

aside from that, you can take a subway for $2 to the hammerstein. you can also take subway to yankee stadium.

do not walk to yankee stadium.

i repeat.

do not walk to yankee stadium.

you can visit the 9/11 site if you have some free time. it's not too exciting, but if you're interested you might as well check it out. again, subway is the best way to get there.

Sounds like my dorm room!  I've had the GNR going 24/7 for about a week now!  Hell, even when I'm sleeping it's playing.  My neighbors are probably getting a little pissed, but they can wait another 18 days or so.

[Anguro]

Well, I'm going to stay here.... www.1291.com in case it's useful to someone....... shared dormitory.... but it's really well located.... and really cheap.... . 20 mins walking to Hammerstein Ball...... hope I find some more gunners there..... 

[oldgunsfan]

I'm coming in from Morristown, NJ; NJT to NY Penn Station; and walking from there.  Meeting a friend that lives in Manhattan and staying there.  Due to family obligations however, I'm only going to the 17th show.

[GeorgeSteele]

I work in Manhattan and for the May 12th show will walk to the venue when I get out of work at 6:00-6:30.  So I'll miss the Mustang Harry's pre-party that ends at 5:30. 

Speaking of Mustang Harry's, what's the plan after 5:30?  I know many will immediately get on line for the best floor spot, but what about the rest of you who, like me, don't plan on entering the venue until later in the evening?  Where are we drinking?

Party will go on after 5:30 if there is still people, they won't boot us out if we're drinking!!!!

I've got a room at the Sheraton New York, 811 7th Ave. on 53rd street.  Within walking distance?  Safe walking back?  Any advice would be appreciated....thanks!

[welshrose]

bazgnr,

it will be a safe walk because you are in midtown and there are always lots of people. However, its about 20blocks, so I'd say its about a 30minute walk.

Cab it...won't cost you that much and will be faster/easier then walking. You're fine walking if you want to though, very safe.

It will be very easy to get a cab at that time which will cost around $4-5, but its a really nice and safe walk no matter how late and it will take you between a little under 30 minutes

Cab after the show?
F-that, it's time for the after-show party to begin!

Exactly! everytime i got to new york I worry about catching public transportation back home the following morning. Some booze, energy drinks, fast food, starbucks keeps you wide awake. There's so much to do in NYC 24hrs a day! It's not known as the city that never sleeps for nothing!
