Hi I am first time traveller to new york. Will be going to us open tennis in august and am travelling alone. Given that some of the night matches play till very late am looking for safe, decent hotel - dont know whether it is safer to walk or get metro. Looking for advice, can anybody help.
Thanks Isabel from Scotland
US open
Here%26#39;s an excellent older post about where to stay when coming for the open.

The tournament is played in Queens near LGA airport, so some of the airport hotels are closer than staying in Manhattan, but not such a nice area. You wouldn%26#39;t really want to walk around too much.
Lots of other folks will be taking the subway or the Long Island Railroad after the matches so you won%26#39;t be alone. Stay in Manhattan somewhere along the #7 train which runs across 42 st. The Fitzpatrick Grand Central hotel (Irish) might be a good option. I like the Shelburne Murray Hill (it%26#39;s suites with kitchens) which is also nearby. Look on affinia.com for it and check against prices on quikbook.com
OR, if you use the Long Island Railroad which some say is a nicer way to travel, that goes to Penn Station. The Affinia Manhattan and the Metro hotel are 2 of the nicer ones near there. I don%26#39;t know whether the LIRR puts on special trains for the night games.
