We're located in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side, only two blocks from Central Park, two main subway lines, Columbia University, lots of bars, restaurants and neighborhood shops,  a 24 hour grocery store and only a 20 minute train ride to Times Square, Penn Station, Port Authority, Grand Central Station and many other landmarks that make New York City one of the leading tourist attraction in the world!  You can spend your evenings in our sunken patio (Manhattan's largest privately owned “Green space”) or on our 2nd floor balcony-- rarities in space-conscious Manhattan-- or join one of pub-crawls, or clubbing nights. If you feel like staying in, our in-house theater offers a perfect opportunity to rest up and reinvigorate for the coming days. Our billiards room or interactive Wii are great ways to meet fellow hostellers while spending time relaxing. 

We plan daily tours and events to help you make the most of your stay. But, if you'd prefer to go it alone, our helpful info staff (on duty 24/7) will gladly provide you with a map and advise you before you leave to help make the best of your adventure.   HERE IS A LIST OF ACTIVITIES & EVENTS AT HI-NYC
