Hotel Recommendation NYC - Advice Sought
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 ! --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |

That's correct. If you're coming from Manhattan, you need to go through Harlem to get there. 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. I don't know either, quite honestly. I hang out in Harlem from time to time and have enjoyed walking through different parts of it many times but have never stayed there (I live downtown). Anyways, I'm looking for good advice on reasonable NYC hotels that are close Look at anything on the east side. It's easy to go uptown via the Lexington Av. subway line (4, 5, 6) and change for the bus on 125 St. (I forget the number offhand; check www.mta.info) that goes to Randall's Island. If you end up staying on the West Side, that's not so bad either; you can always take the 7th Av. Express (2 or 3) to 125 St. and Lenox and walk several blocks over to Lexington Av. to take the bus. A walk on 125 St. is an interesting thing to do, anyway. As I'm a New Yorker and have never stayed in any hotel here, I can't give you specific hotel recommendations.
