Comments: Nice venue for sure. Pre-race expo was about 10 stands mostly local run shops. Swag included a nice wicking tee, stretch band, popcorn, and some soap. Race was on time, well marked, enough refreshments, and plenty of volunteers. Post race included a bag of pretzels, apple, and water. Also some live music. Most people just left after the race.
If you are staying in the city for this race for one night. Stay downtown world trade center area near the finish. Nice hotels close to the finish. There is a train station 2-3 blocks from the hotels that takes you straight to 96th street. After you should be done by like 10 and in your hotel room and able to shower and everything before noon checkout. Worked out really well.
Also if you are carb loading try The Halal Cart on the SW corner 53rd and 6th ave across from the hilton. Really good food and cheap ($6). Got the chicken platter with lots of white sauce. Go after 7pm though for the real cart, not the fake one before.
