NYC Chuseok Festival 2010 Oct. 9-10

[MochaNutz]

Kara? Hyori? Free? daaaaang!

I'm totally considering this. I'm a maybe.

[Rickker708]

Damn, moneys, tight but this I can probably get the time off for. Put me down as a maybe.

[limitbreaker02]

With Sungyeon's situation, I hope KARA is still able to go to NYC one way or another. If not, my interest in flying down will drop considerably...despite Hyori and KJK being there.

[Kimuuu]

Jersey City hotels (across the Hudson river from NYC) are slightly cheaper but still pretty expensive. There are a couple of hotels in my town which are next to buses that'll take you into the city in 15 minutes. Don't know how expensive those hotels are though. I'll check if you guys are interested.

Could you please let us know which hotels these are and where these buses drop you off?  I'm planning on checking out the NYAF on Saturday for Rika, too.  There's quite a distance between the convention center and Randalls Island Park.  :\ Recommendations?  Pick a hotel somewhere in between those places? Somewhere on Manhattan Island?  Somewhere in Queens?  Jersey?

Edit:
Saw limit's post. Ah, right I remember reading something about Sungyeon's back? Ack, KARA's the main reason for me wanting to go to the Chuseok Festival! Well, I hope the KARA camp keeps us informed on her progress.

These are the hotels in my town. I recommend the Courtyard at $99 a night. The bus stop is right outside the hotels and drops you off at the Port Authority Bus Terminal which is within walking distance of the Convention Center where the Anime Festival is being held. To get to Randall's Island you would take the subway then a shuttle bus to the festival.

[Kimuuu]

AWESOME.  Thanks for the help, Jay!

[Ping]

Lol "walking distance" he means a 15-20 min walk, which is actually pretty normal in NYC.

[Kimuuu]

^ That's fine. I walked all over the place last time I was there in the 100+ degree weather and in the rain. >__<  I'm hoping the weather that weekend will be kind to us.

OK, so I checked out the courtyard and noticed that it is further away from the city.  About how long would it take to get to the convention center/Randalls Island Park?

[jaysonnj]

^ Depending on traffic its a 15-30 minute bus ride into the city and then the walk to the convention center. Getting to Randall's Island from Midtown by subway might take around 45 minutes.
