Have an extra day with a friend to go anywhere in Europe. We'll be leaving from London in the morning and from that city back to the US the next morning, which city can we see in just 1 day?

Prague. Good luck getting direct flights back to US though...

In NY, for $17 you can walk in to the Manhattan location to get a short BC. I do not know if that will be enough to cross the border.
However, to get the long GC, they will mail it.

How far are you willing to travel?

Define too hot?

Looking for a destination that has an easy shabbos arrangement for family with 4 young children. Panama hotels are all high floors and I'm not comfortable using shabbos elevators...

Turks and caicos

You'll have hotels on a beautiful beach (but please don't just stay on that beach...)

Don't know if any have a plunge pool/tub

Does anyone have any ideas for me for a 3 day trip? (I know it's pretty specific, but I'll try anyway)
  • Within about a 3 Hr. drive from NY
  • Within a 20 min. drive from a minyan (with Shachris 8 or Later)
  • A Marriott or IHG hotel where I can use certificates and get either a 2br suite or adjoining room (for points)
  • Affordable things to do in the area
  • Not a place with a lots of Yidden (the hotel and main attractions, not the shul)
  • Prefer: cooler then NY

That's not one of the places "everyone goes" like Lincoln, NH and Jiminy Peak?

Don't remember exactly how many but there are definitely Yidden there. I thought it fit most of your criteria though


Any logical destination will probably have ppl there....


What did Yogi Berra say again? Nobody goes there anymore-its too full

I would imagine that a place that checks all his boxes would definitely have lots of yidden. So this place probably wouldn’t exist.

When I did my Denver trip, other than Minyanim, I only bumped in to a handful of Yidden. The same for my Albany-Vermont trip.
I was hoping for something else close by.
