We like your idea of booking something now in Manhattan and try to get
better deal as time gets closer. But we do not know how? All these
internet hotel booking sites requires you to PAY now when booked, and
almost impossible to cancel or changes, once you make the purchase.


Quikbook and Venere generally do not require pre-payment (though it is
required for some hotels).

Last trip to Manhattan I used Quikbook, and it saved quite a bit. But
that was in April, not peak time (though it was Spring break for many
schools so it was still crowded). You're going a a peak period when the
weather is good.

Remember, there are other parts of Manhattan than the Times Square area,
with more character, and cheaper hotels.
