Coney Island Excursion...

 

Gangue,

I'm back home from Fairborn Ohio and can stop thinking FDIM thoughts. Its back to QRPme stuff....EXCEPT... my daughter is on a panel of 'experts' on Harpo Marx at the upcoming Marxfest in Coney Island this coming weekend. I've searched for inexpensive hotels near there but inexpensive and NYC just don't go together. AirBnB had some spots but not for this weekend as everything has already been booked. We tried to find a place to camp but have not found spots until AFTER Memorial Day, again a few days late and a few dollars short. We have 3 Marx Brothers fans scouring the net for someplace to stay and coming up empty. I'm now seeking help from 'MY QRPme base' who might be able to provide some local knowledge. Looking for a motel, AirBnB, campground, driveway, or unused room for this weekend withing 'easy' commuting distance to Coney Island were the MarxFest is takig place. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hey Rex, take a look at Jersey City, NJ by the water front. Or something near the Newwark airport. Things are definitely less expensive in NJ. FYI, I'm on a project in Branchburg, NJ. Good luck!

And you may be able to take the trains and buses to get around! When last in NY/NJ and not worry about where to park, i stayed in Elizabeth, took the hotel shuttle to Newark, then the train to Hoboken or Penn Station, then off to my jobsites. All convenient. I was able to get a decent snack at Penn Station on the way back to the hotel in the evening as well.
