The Moderne

Manhattan north of 8th Street is laid out in a grid. Avenues run north and south, streets run east and west (crosstown). Twenty blocks going north and south or 10 going crosstown equal approximately 1 mile.

Walking is a popular option for sightseeing, window-shopping, and experiencing the flavor of the city. Taxis are relatively easy to hail, except during rush hour or inclement weather. Visitors should use yellow cabs only. The cab is available only if the center panel of its roof sign is lit. Subways and buses are efficient and inexpensive (less than $5). MetroCards for subways and buses can be purchased in subway stations and from designated merchants. A subway stop is one block from the hotel. Because of expensive and limited parking, as well as challenging traffic conditions, rental cars are generally not recommended.
