    Budget friendly places to eat in near Times Square

    8th between 42&43 IS A .99 PIZZA place that, to me, for the cost and taste is some of the best pizza in NY!! We eaten at Johns and for the price to me is the atmosphere. Anyway. It's where we eat a lot for the taste and cost. It's off the main street behind a Flower shop. It's more standing room...

    Other Florida Vacations??

    Not sure what all you like or dislike, but just reading the Disney and Universal and then not breaking the bank, I think I'd suggest this. Make my "home" base Orlando. Use Priceline, and get a Resort for the week.(now they do express deals, so you could go online now and put in your dates to...

    SiriusXM offer I just received

    Just cancelled. They couldn't or wouldn't come down to the $95 per radio. We had all the channels and internet. They tried to do "all access" on 1 and Select on the other. That doesn't work for me and I can't see paying more for what we paid last year. Oh well, I tried but must have not...

    SiriusXM offer I just received

    Tried to renew but could not get the same rate I paid last year. The other thing I'm wondering is what packages people are getting. I'm looking for "all access" . This should have both xm/sirius stations and the ability to listen online or smartphone. They tried to get me to do all access on...

    Hotel thoughts

    I'd suggest Priceline. Put in the dates. On the first page you will see hotels and their strar rating plus price. On the express deals (sometimes they have a 5%discount code) Book with confidence on 2.5 star and above. As long as you stay above 2 star, we've always had great results. This way...

    Carribbean Cruise or Mexico all inclusive. WWYD

    We have used the cruise line tours, and found they are expensive. We didn't know any better the first few times we cruised. Then we found cruise critic and trip advisor and things change. For 3 of us this time in Grand Caymen. $150 for a 3 person jet ski. Stingray city tour. WE got a $50...

    Williamsburg, VA

    Maybe a day trip to VA Beach, you'll only be about an hour away by Interstate 64East!. I'm not sure if the Trullis is still open? Been there twice and both times had "death by chocolate". It's in the heart of the colonial district. Williamsburg also has the "outlet" malls. Been a few times...

    Carribbean Cruise or Mexico all inclusive. WWYD

    We like to cruise! I've been told a cruise is what you do when you are trying to find out what island you like. Then you can do the AI. But for us, the "value" seems to go towards a cruise (if you find a deal) Next week 3 of us $1635 (+tip $215)$1850/6nights=$305 a day/night. We do have to...

    Better rain gear then a poncho

    Another for Frog Toggs. Walmart carries certain sets in the camping section. $20 for pants/jacket. They are lightweight, breathable!!!!! and easy to pack/carry. That would be my choice!

    Leather sofa suggestions please.

    Looking to change our 13 y/o sofa/love seat. Was thinking about Leather. We currently have Broyhill and it has held up well. Is there such a thing as quality leather furniture and "cheap" prices? If so, any suggestions. Where to buy. I even looked on CL, but not sure I want to buy used...

    Tell me about Busch Gardens Williamsburg

    The 2 park may be BG and water country. If so, I think that's the better deal. If you are staying in VA Beach and going to BG/WC the traffic can be terrible at certain times of the day. Sometimes you can make better time going way out your way to 664 and not fight the 64 tunnel traffic...

    What's everyone paying for Sirrus/XM these days?

    Thanks Belle....That would be the difference. They know that most people will want both or either or. Once again, like HBO or Showtime. It's the same on satellite. I'm with you on the sex channel, but I really, really like, almost love listening to Howard. He has a way of interviewing people and...

    Please tell me if this is a good price on this car

    I've always used Edmunds because I was told they took what others paid (by way of DMV taxes and estimate the true market value? Then I price it like Edmunds suggest. If Edmunds says 9900 PP, then I'm good with that. If you can meet somewhere in the middle of trade in value and private party...
