New York city hotel after the hurricane
We were transferred from an appartment which was overcrowded , to the Hotel Pennsylvania on November 3rd 2012.only a week after the hurricane Sandy had hit New York and caused the cancellation of the New York marathon.We were part of the Achilles South Africa team for disabled athletes.This hotel opposite Madison Square Gardens provided all the facilities required for a wheel chair bound amputee.All the hotel facilities were unaffected by the disaster that had struck the City only a few days before.The closeness to all the NYC sites were easily accessible by wheelchair kindly pushed by my wife.The safe and easy pedestrian crossings day and night made it possible to be close to all the shops.Only two blocks away was the Empire State Building which allowed us a friendly and swift transfer the top of the tower with those unforgettable views of the city.The restaurants and diners inside the Hotel Penn allowed us to enjoy a warm atmosphere and good food.There is a 24hour coffee shop on the ground floor serving the best take away drink we tasted in NYC.
