CREATE YOUR OWN MANHATTAN TRAVEL GUIDE

Since the Directors Forum is a self-guided program, we recommend that you print and refer to travel directions in advance. To create your own personalized Directors Forum location guide for each day by subway, bus or foot visit: www.HopStop.com For taxis this website can estimate the fare to a particular location. You can also find hotels, restaurants and attractions that are convenient from any location. Manhattan is one of the world's great walking cities and the best way to see the sights. Consider taking advantage of the experience whenever possible.
