AboutTina M Kinney Expertise I can answer questions about NYC neighborhoods, where and what to eat, how to get around on the subway, how to get to and from NYC, what to do, where to shop etc. I can not give recommendations on hotels, however, since I only stayed at a few myself. When I go to NYC, I stay with family! I am honest and if I don't know the answer I will tell you. Often you have to do your own research on the internet and that will give you an answer. I will point you to useful websites but you have to do your own research, I can't do it for you!
Experience I am a native New Yorker. I was born and grew up in Manhattan on the Upper West Side. I love showing NYC to newcomers and understand how the city works. I also understand that a city like NY can be very overwhelming to a newcomer. I am here to make your visit to Manhattan fun and exciting!
Education/Credentials I have a BA from Binghamton University, NY and a Masters in Public Administration from SUNY Albany.
Expert: Tina M Kinney Date: 4/9/2008 Subject: What to Wear?
Question Hi: Myself and 2 daughters are going to New York May 9-15 for our first visit. Should we take a coat or will a light hoodie or jacket be adequate? Will it be warm enough to wear capri pants versus long pants? What would be appropriate attire to the Broadway Theatre at night? We would like to keep our luggage to a minimum.
Thanks

Answer Spring weather is notoriously unreliable in the NE. I would check the weather forecast for NYC right before you leave for your trip and pack accordingly. Irregardless you will need a jacket in the evenings. For Broadway, wear nice pants/skirt and shirt. Pack comfortable shoes because you will be walking a lot!
