Paul & Pan - Hotel Recommendation NYC - Advice Sought
I don't know your budget, but the Marriott Eastside on Lexington at 49th has
occassional specials, with rates in the $179/night range. "Shawn P. Good" wrote in message ... Thank you Paul and Pan for your energetic debate on where my wife and I should stay ! I truly do appreciate both of your opinions. However, we're taking the train from Vermont to NYC, and once there, we want to be close to everything we want to do. My wife and I are not old (we're both 34) and we love to walk and walk and walk - but with the intention of seeing the sights and other things as we walk. We won't really want to have to travel around alot once we're there just to get somewhere interesting. So - while our primary reason for going to NYC will be to see Cirque du Soleil at Randall's Island Park, the day before and the day after the show, we also want to do the tourist things around NYC. So - no offense, but perhaps a B&B on Staten Island, for the purposes of this trip, is not going to be best suited to our needs. I think somewhere on the middle or upper east side is going to work best. I think I may look for hotels along Lexington Ave. Now - if someone has specific recommendations in THAT area, I'm all ears ! Thanks again - Shawn "Shawn P. Good" wrote in message ... Hello : I'm surprising my wife on her birthday in June and taking her to New York City to see Cirque du Soleil, which is performing on Randall Island Park. We've never been to NYC before and so we're completely at a loss in terms of booking a hotel and knowing 1) if it's a good hotel and not a dump, and 2) where it is in relation to Randall Island Park. If at all possible, we want to be in a hotel close to the location, but still in a nice part of the city. From what I can gather on maps I've found, Randall Island Park seems to be near Harlem ...... and again, I could be completely wrong not knowing the city, but I'm not sure if Harlem is an area we want to stay in. Anyways, I'm looking for good advice on reasonable NYC hotels that are close we can contact. Hotels with websites would be a plus. Thanks ! |

[snip] Part of being in New York is taking subways and buses, and with few exceptions, it doesn't take a long time to get around Manhattan by subway (surface transportation in Midtown is a nightmare at peak hours, however). But Shawn, since I'm a New Yorker, I've never had to stay in a hotel here and, therefore, can't recommend a hotel for you! Michael If you would like to send a private email to me, please take out the TRASH, so to speak. Please do not email me something which you also posted. |

Thanks again - Shawn We regularly stay at the Omni Berkshire on 52d St between 5th Ave and Madison. Very nice hotel, very centrally located, and not a wallet buster (by NYC standards, at least), although its not inexpensive. Look on the internet. |
