Excelsior Hotel Upper West Side

Might be a bit of a daft question but can anyone tell me if there is a Kettle in the apartments to make a cup of tea each morning.

Also what would a Taxi charge to get to Madison Square Garden from the above hotel

Thanks in advance

Taxi will cost around $10. It is 2 1/2 miles from hotel to the Gardn

Great location....if hotel site doesn%26#39;t state why not call and ask if they have coffee/tea making facilities in room....a cab down to MSG should run around $10-12 depending on traffic:) Enjoy!

Superb

We get there from the UK around lunchtime and i%26#39;ve sorted tickets for a Ice hockey game, Not realising a game could last 3hours and with the Jet Lag i don%26#39;t want to be walking back home.

I%26#39;ll find out if the Hotel as a e-mail address and i%26#39;ll call them otherwise i%26#39;ll be taking a Kettle

Us Brit%26#39;s can%26#39;t start the day without a cup of tea in bed in teh Morning ;o)

Have fun!

Thanks very much

Just e-mailed them, I thought i%26#39;d be a bit cheeky and ask if i could have a room with a view of Central Park

If i don%26#39;t ask i%26#39;ll never get ;o)

Stayed in The Belvedere last March which was great but in a very hectic area, I thought this time round we would go a stay somwhere a bit quiter but only a Subway ride away

Can%26#39;t wait to get there now and i%26#39;ve heard the St.Patrick%26#39;s Day parade is great

Cheers

E-Mailed them and they told me they don%26#39;t have Tea makin facilities in the room

no way can i start the day without a cup of tea in bed

I%26#39;ll have to pack a kettle

The subway is almost outside your door. If you get on a B or C train heading downtown, it stops right underneath Madison Square Garden (the stop is Penn Station).

Is that a big station

I mean will i be able to buy a week subway pass from there

I noticed last time some stations where small ones without a kiosk

Tony!

If you%26#39;re getting in at midday, don%26#39;t bother packing a tea kettle. Hoof it to Broadway between 80th and 81st Streets, and pick up a kettle at Zabar%26#39;s. It%26#39;s the ultimate bustling New York deli, with great takeaway food and a fantastic (and reasonably-priced) housewares department on the second floor.

Zabar%26#39;s is worth a trip anyway, and it%26#39;s just three blocks from the Excelsior.

Wishing you a great visit!

SlateNYC gives you excellent advice :)
