Re: Approval to see Dr. H

[Guest guest]

Flights are into JFK or La Guardia. I am typing fast here.

Taxi from airports are flat fee, varies $25-50 dollars depending on

where, etc. Do NOT rent a car.

Hotels. Recommended: 4 star Excelsior is great location if you

plan on staying an extra day and doing some sight-seeing. 45 W.

81st St., NYC on the upper west side DIRECTLY across from the

Planetarium and the Natural History Museum. Rates $139-$200

depending on time of year and very nice.

For ease, but more like 3 star in terms of furnishings, is the Mt.

Sinai Guest Residence. But at $169 or something like that you can't

beat it. DIRECTLY across the street from Mt. Sinai hospital. Upper

east side. Markets within 1 block. And the rooms have mini-

kitchens, with frigs, stove, etc. Ideal for kids with breakfast,

lunch, etc.

For those of us who " fly in and fly out " , I recommend the Mt. Sinai

Guest Residence. . Ask for Sonsia to make your

reservation. 3 E. 101st St. between 5th and Madison.

I believe that the drive is about a 10 hour drive? So that would be

very long. Conceivably, although this would be expensive, you could

fly in on an early morning flight for a 1pm appt (give yourself 2

hours between arrival time and appt time), take a cab directly to

the hospital, have your appt, and then take a 7pm flight back home

again, the same day....

Good luck, and keep us posted.
