Re: OT: New York Info Needed

e, My husband brought our two daughters to NY this summer. He

stayed at the Sheraton Four Seasons in the Chelsea district. He said it was

affordable and clean. The rooms were small, but functional. It was in a

safe area. He took the subway or walked wherever they needed to go. He

said that there were so many cops around, if he got lost he would just ask a

policeman. If you want to talk to him, let me know. (n, 15,

systemic) FYI --He said of everything that they did, that the water tour

around Manhattan was the best deal. It was $27 and you toured the whole

island of Manhattan and got a better view of the Statue of Liberty than if

you went there for a tour.

Hi e:

I have a lot of family in NY and a friend that goes for the shows. I will

ask them for the ins and outs for you.

Take care.

Hi e,

My boss loves the city, and goes frequently. She is also very cost

conscious. She uses Expedia for her hotel reservations, and likes to stay in

the Times Square area. She got my 20 yr old daughter and her roommate from

Philly to Central Park via turnpike, NJ transit and subway with no problems.

They had a wonderful time. I was down in the theater district area one night

last month and it was quite safe, and fun. New York is expensive, but my

understanding is that Seattle is as well, so maybe you won't have as much

sticker shock as you are thinking.

I will ask her tomorrow about hotels and costs and touch base with you

again.

e,

I talked to my boss and got a little more information. She said that she has

been using HotWire so that she can pick a district. She usually stays in

midtown Manhattan, and expects to pay around $150 a night. More between

Thanksgiving and New Years. Be very careful about cheaper places. Even if

they are in a nice area they can be very dirty. Another alternative is to

stay in Jersey and take NJ transit in.
