Row Nyc

About Row Nyc

Row Nyc suits travelers who want a Midtown base and a short walk to the Theater District. Couples on a theater weekend, small groups in town for a show and business travelers with meetings near Times Square all fit here. The address on Eighth Avenue puts Times Square about 0.2 miles (0.3 km) away in a straight line, so evening plans need little organizing. Families who prefer a central location with easy subway access will also find it practical. Book through the IMPT app to check prices and availability.

Row Nyc is a four-star hotel in Midtown Manhattan with a substantial record of guest feedback behind it. The booking supplier gives a guest score of 3.6 out of 5 from 10363 reviews, so the property is well known to a large number of past guests. Expect a busy, central hotel rather than a quiet retreat. The Eighth Avenue address keeps arrivals and departures simple by subway or on foot. Prices and availability for your dates appear in the IMPT app.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities cover the basics for most trips. Couples get air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a fitness center and gym, and families have luggage storage plus 24-hour security. Business travelers can use the business center and meeting room, then a bar in the evening. Late arrivals will value 24-hour check-in. Pets are listed as allowed, and car parking and shuttle service appear too. Confirm parking terms, pet conditions and breakfast details with Row Nyc before booking, since these arrangements vary.

The supplier's list is broad rather than specialized: concierge, laundry service, elevators, a safe and wheelchair access sit alongside breakfast and bars. For a couple, that means a straightforward base after a show. For a family, luggage storage and 24-hour security matter more than extras. Business guests can pair the meeting room with free Wi-Fi. Ask Row Nyc directly about breakfast times, parking access and shuttle details, and check the total price with taxes and fees in the IMPT app.

The setting

Row Nyc stands at 700 8th Avenue in Midtown, a stretch of the avenue that runs through the Theater District. Times Square is about 0.2 miles (0.3 km) away in a straight line, and Broadway and the Theater District share that distance. The Museum of Modern Art is about 0.6 miles (1 km), the Intrepid Museum about 0.7 miles (1.1 km), and Grand Central Terminal about 0.7 miles (1.2 km). Central Park, at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, is about 0.9 miles (1.5 km). Penn Station is about 0.6 miles (1 km) away.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown and Times Square sit at the center of Manhattan's transport network, which matters most on the days you arrive and leave. Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are both in the district, and Grand Central Terminal is a short walk east along 42nd Street. Trains and buses run late, and the subway runs all night, so a delayed arrival rarely strands you. If you land before check-in, the hours are best spent walking the grid or sitting in Bryant Park. Check current airport connections with the transit authority before you set out.

Late arrivals have their own rhythm here. The streets stay busy well after midnight, and the Theater District empties in waves as curtains come down, so walking back to Row Nyc rarely means an empty block. Times Square is the brightest and most crowded crossing at any hour; side streets north and east of it are quieter. Subway service changes happen on weekends and late nights, so check the transit authority's service notices the evening before an early departure. For a dawn flight, allow slack: security lines at the airports can be long in the early morning, and road traffic into Queens or New Jersey builds quickly.

Getting there and around

From Row Nyc, the three airports sit at different distances and different connections. JFK is around 14 miles (22 km) away, reached by AirTrain to Jamaica for the subway or the Long Island Rail Road, or to Howard Beach for the A train. Newark Liberty takes a similar time by AirTrain and NJ Transit or Amtrak into Penn Station. LaGuardia is closest by road, with the free Q70 bus linking to the subway. Grand Central Terminal is around 0.7 miles (1.2 km) from the door, and Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are walkable. Tap a contactless card or phone to ride the subway, which runs around the clock.

Nearby sights and food

Most of the district's sights sit within a few blocks of one another. The Theater District runs north from 42nd Street around Times Square, and Bryant Park, behind the main library building, fills at lunchtime in good weather. Rockefeller Center is a short walk east, and the observation decks there, at One Vanderbilt beside Grand Central and in the Empire State Building, each show the grid from a different height; reserve a timed slot and check visibility. Fifth Avenue's flagship stores continue north to Central Park South. The Museum of Modern Art is on West 53rd Street; check opening hours and timed entry before you go.

Food in Midtown is built for people in a hurry and people killing time before a curtain. The blocks around Times Square and 42nd Street run to slice shops, diners, ramen counters and steakhouse dining rooms, most of them busy from early evening. The Garment District north of 34th Street has delis, taquerias and Korean kitchens, often cheaper and quieter than the Theater District. Ninth Avenue in the west forties holds a mix of Thai, Greek and Italian places. Book ahead for a pre-theater table, or eat late after the show; many kitchens serve past midnight.

A day from Row Nyc

A day from Row Nyc starts early if a flight is waiting. Walk to Bryant Park for coffee and a bench, then cut east through Grand Central Terminal to see the concourse before the commuter rush thickens. Work north on Fifth Avenue to Central Park South and enter the park at its southeast corner; the paths by the Pond and the lake suit a short loop. Lunch near Rockefeller Center, then an afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art or on an observation deck. Eat before a 7 or 8 pm curtain, and check the show's start time. For a late arrival, reverse the plan: the park at dusk, dinner after 9, and a quiet walk back.
