Did this several nights. BTW: During the walks realized the northeast citizens love their halloween decorations.   Earl Senior Member Username: Myramstein Post Number: 586 Registered: 11-2007 Posted From: 99.205.246.67 Posted on Saturday, January 23, 2010 - 01:41 am:    Other option to see NYC and stay in military lodging is stay at Earle NWS, NJ. Drive to Little Silver (short drive from NWS) ride train into NYC. Know talking about Ft Hamilton. But, this may offer other options to someone wanting to see NYC and stay on other military facility to ride train into NYC.   steve fontaine Member Username: Sfontain Post Number: 13 Registered: 12-2008 Posted From: 162.90.192.254 Posted on Friday, January 22, 2010 - 11:35 pm:    The nearby subway station is the 95th Street station on the R. About 7 blocks from the Fort Ham gate. That neighborhood - Bay Ridge - is probably the safest neighborhood in Brooklyn. I lived there for 15 years until 1996 - walked to Fort Hamilton each weekend and never once encountered any quirks or hassles..   Lester Green Advanced Member Username: Rtgreen5 Post Number: 249 Registered: 03-2007 Posted From: 69.143.223.11 Posted on Friday, January 22, 2010 - 11:29 pm:    Fred: I agree with you about the convenience of Fort Hamilton to the subway and NYC, but the walk from the base to and from that dirty local subway station left my wife a little unsettled because of the nature of the neighborhood. No problem in the daytime, but didn't you have some concerns about this after returning from NYC late at night?   Fred Hanna New member Username: Fhanna Post Number: 3 Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 149.101.1.126 Posted on Friday, January 22, 2010 - 05:35 pm:    I made reservatins for my brother/wife, son and myself/wife (3 rooms) 10/23/09-10/26. Great stay, close to subway, made serveral tripts to Times Square. Pricy (77.00)but worth it. Made reservations 30 days out but believe rooms available when we checked in. One of the more pleasurable stays at a military base.   donn c martin New member Username: Stix11b Post Number: 1 Registered: 07-2007 Posted From: 68.80.109.141 Posted on Saturday, January 09, 2010 - 04:11 pm:    My family and I spent Christmas night 2008 at Ft Hamilton. Accomodations were great. Left my vehicle parked on post. Pleasant 5 block walk to subway and a 30 minute ride to Times Square. All day rail pass was around $7. Looking forward to doing it again.   RICHARD GARBE Member Username: Garbalu46 Post Number: 22 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 24.186.145.64 Posted on Sunday, January 03, 2010 - 04:09 pm:    I called the reservation number at 1pm on friday 1/1/10.

For how long? Do you make the reservations via phone or email or....? Did your Category matter (i.e. AD vs retired)?   Garland Summerall Advanced Member Username: Garland Post Number: 203 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 206.251.14.87 Posted on Sunday, January 03, 2010 - 01:47 am:    Thanks Richard,Give all the detail information you can.
