What exit?
Alabama game 11/8
- Thread starter Basketballguy800
- Start date
double lmao, born in Bklyn, lived there for 25 years, moved to N NJ suburbs where raised family, it's beautiful and a half hour to mid town, plus or minus.
Love both NY and NJ.
If I was from Alabama, I might feel better in NJ, just saying.
And Jnaw knows what happened to the Russian in the woods in the sopranos
Plus if we win the game we become Bama fans for the rest of the season cause the better they are, the better our hypothetical win will look
Plus we do like bamafan
And they have a healthy disdain for Calipari and Arkansas.
Even if we were to lose we want our OOC scheduled teams to do well as it affects our rating based on strength of schedule. (PS you should already be rooting for Bama for my sake-passitback excepted because I know how much he hates the SEC-as they are my third favorite college hoop team behind us and Dayton two schools I attended
).
N/AWhat exit?
. Center of the state, so nowhere near the parkway or the turnpike
Not sure about location to the arena but i was in Atlanta this past June for a company meeting, we stayed at The Intercontinental hotel Buckshead and the area seemed nice and safe.
Buckhead is the prime suburb of Atlanta but it's a hike to downtown.
Wrong thread Tommy - this is Alabama game in NYC.
Alabama, New Jersey, toe-may-toe toe-mah-toe

Your head must be spinning from all the suggestions. I lived for 42 years in New York (Flushing), 16 in central New Jersey and the last 14 in North Carolina (Mooresville). They are all nice places although if I had my druthers (I probably won't lol) I'd stay in NC.
We are headed up to NY (Queens) for a memorial service at the end of November and are staying at the above Best Western in Bayside. Decent hotel in a very convenient location with a very nice old school Spanish restaurant on the ground floor and 4 blocks from all the restaurants and bars on Bell Boulevard - somewhere between $250-300 per night. It is also only a four block walk from the Long Island Rail Road station where the train will take you directly into Penn Station right below the Garden in 25-30 minutes, a very relaxing ride. It is an easy Uber to and from LaGuardia. We have one daughter in Brooklyn and one in Weehawken and until 2021 also had one in Jersey City so we do the NC to NY/NJ trip 3 times a year and I stopped flying into Newark airport two years ago as LGA is just so much nicer but that's just me.
You have lots of good options. If this is going to be your second trip to the Big Apple, I'd recommend trying to see a bit of it when you're in there. Agree with BrookJerseyRedmen on Keens being a great place for a pre or post game meal if you are willing to splurge a little.
or when you paid 800 for a sleeping bag at bringing man 2025Best Western for $250 a night. SMDH. Reminds me of when I paid over $200 to stay at a Motel 6 outside Santa Barbara on a summer weekend like 10 years ago.
TommyO and Pitin-o going head to head for best year.
If you are coming to Manhattan, stay in Manhattan unless you want to spend a lot of time travelling. You can find cheap hotels on Expedia, and if you wait until day of arrival you can get 4 star mystery hotels with unsold rooms at a fraction of the rack price. Keep in mind NYC is not as safe as it was and if you will be travelling by subway at off hours, it can be dangerous. Better to be in Manhattan. Better restaurants and music scene.
