Alright, we're leaving from Michigan in the early hours of Thursday, October 6th to begin our trek through the worst state in the country (Ohio), through the land of enablers (Pennsylvania) into New Jersey.
Our current plans include stopping at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH and eventually arriving at our hotel is Iselin, NJ around midnight. Then we have tickets to visit and ascend the Statue of Liberty at 11am on Friday. F̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶(̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶u̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶1̶-̶2̶p̶m̶)̶ ̶w̶e̶ ̶w̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶d̶r̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶C̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶I̶s̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶c̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶i̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶a̶x̶i̶/̶U̶b̶e̶r̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶N̶Y̶C̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶f̶i̶c̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶T̶i̶m̶e̶s̶ ̶S̶q̶u̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶b̶a̶s̶i̶c̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶ ̶w̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶i̶t̶y̶.̶
So, as someone who has never been east of Niagra Falls is this even possible (̶f̶i̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶s̶a̶f̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶k̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶C̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶I̶s̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶r̶s̶)̶ or is there a better way about this in general? We're going to the Statue of Liberty from the NJ side if that helps. Also, what are some must see/do things in the Times Square/NYC area within walking or subway distance? I know there's plenty of threads on things to do around New Brunswick and RU but never really seen anything about NYC. So any help would be appreciated.
As for game day we were wanting to go to a boardwalk in the early afternoon.. Is any worth a visit in early October with enough things to do?) before heading to High Point and RU a few hours before kickoff. As for post game, we're high tailing it to our rest stop for the night near Philly. The Lions coincidentally play in Philadelphia that Sunday but they suck so I'll just take being able to listen on the radio on the way home.
