It is so easy to get flustered when you are stressed out and in a hurry - particularly in a new city. When you are in your home area you can laugh off and dismiss scammers like you encountered - but during travel it is a different scenario. Hats of to you for sharing your story - it should help others in the future.

If you have been scammed, I’m sorry to hear that Dispute the payment and hope for the best. Don’t let that thought cross your mind because when that happens it’s only gonna end up driving up the wall. Try your best to request a charge back because if the parking dud is charged you $38 and instead charged you $100, that’s wrong that’s called stealing you’ve got the rights to dispute the payment. I’ve been scammed a couple of times I went and requested the charge back from my bank and they did it straight away. There are a lot of scams in this world that we all have to be aware of

I’m from an outside borough of Manhattan If you had jumped on the ferry you could have stopped by. Hint hint lol. I’m sorry you got scammed. Happens to a lot of people. Like you said lesson learned. Always use a parking garage. There’s almost always specials. Icon parking has an app. I leave mine on my phone. you can book prior to parking there and there’s almost always coupons. I hope it didn’t ruin your trip. I saw the hotel and have seen it from the outside. It’s really cute inside! I’m going to try it next time we do a weekend away. If you have any questions about the city or you’re planning another trip I’d be happy to help where I can! Happy birthday to your sister. Stay well. Vickie

I went to NYC for my HS senior trip and it was a blast I could recap the entire thing but I’m just gonna list the key things I did & places I visited - Times Square - Rockefeller Plaza - Central Park - Statue of Liberty (We went on a cruise on some other boat to see it; we didn’t ride the Saton Island Ferry like you did) - MET museum - saw 2 broadway shows (Aladdin and the Lion King) - 9/11 museum & memorial The highlight of this trip: I was going on a tour with my high school fine arts programs. I was in the band & the orchestra went with us and we had a performance at Carneige Hall, the most iconic concert hall in the country first opening back in 1891. I know you couldn’t fit this into your trip but even seeing a concert here should be something on your bucket list. PS: happy birthday to Alicia! Y’all are so lucky to have each other in y’all’s lives ❤

My wife and I traveled last week to NYC with my BIL & SIL. It was my BIL first time. We have been many times before having relatives that live north of the city. The weather was great and a little cold but we walked and subwayed all over the city. Sorry you were scammed but you should be able to dispute that charge. We booked all our 'tours' on line with the venues and we were warned by the carriage ride tour company to NOT talk to any of the people that will ask you if you want a carriage ride in the park because there are a lot of scammers. Also, driving in the city, as you probably found out, is really not necessary. We took the #1 subway down from mid town to South Ferry to get on the boat to the Statue of Libery and Ellis Island. Oh, and as one mention in another post Liberty Bagel is 'the best'! Plus Stage Door Deli down near the World Trade Center is great too!

Julia, yes, people have been living in that hotel for years. It has had a varying reputation over the years. Most recently for its association with punk rock culture and Hollywood personalities staying there. From what I have heard it’s gone over a huge makeover and has moved a lot of the people who actually live there to a different location in the hotel. Several documentaries have been made about this hotel and it’s residence.

As a native New Yorker my advice is take the subway to the Staten Island Ferry they have plenty of subways that go to the terminal you get the ferry and it's a lot faster and cheaper than driving and find a parking spot since parking in Manhattan is nonexistent. If you take the Staten Island Ferry it takes you near the Statue of Liberty but not to Liberty Island they have their own ferry for that (which also takes you to Ellis Island) and if anyone ask you for money to take the Staten Island Ferry those are scammers the ferry is absoulutly FREE. Hope you learned your lesson so this doesn't happen to you again.
