When I was a student 20 years ago I stayed here:
Guest Rooms at Vanderbilt YMCA | New York City's YMCA
Cost seems to be around £60/night.
Recommended.Comment

Originally posted by SandyD View PostWhen I went last May, I managed to get an amazing cheap deal (flight and hotel) on last minute for THE WALDORF ASTORIA... it was really good, and you must go to their Sunday brunch...that was a wow.
However years before that I went to the best western hotel.
Central Manahattan, walk to Central Park, or Water taxi at East 34th I think to Battery Park and Brooklyn.
911 museum is interesting not that they may remember it much. 5th Avenue for the EXPENSIVE shops.
Go up the Rockefeller building, a life moment. Better than Empire State IMHO.
Statten Island Ferry for experience, see on tv and in movies so frequently.
Statue of liberty and Ellis Island. Eliis Island is very interesting, showing waves of immigration etc
The first time you go its just great to see all the places you have seen on the big and small screen all your life.Last edited by Scrag Meister; 4 February 2013, 08:25.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

If they want Boutique style then look for one of the Ian Schrager hotels eg the Hudson or Morgan. Not cheap but they'll love it. The bars are fantastic for celeb spotting.
Others that would appeal would be one of the W hotels (Sheraton group), in fact most of the Sheraton group of hotels are well placed, meaning most of the sites are walkable.Comment

Trump Soho was well plush hotel. Expensive but not as much as the ones nearer central park.
Staten island ferry is a good laugh for free. Central park, empire state etc.
Thought the cabs were crap though. Takes ages to get one, then you sit in traffic jam and pay loads, quicker to just jump on the subway.
I was most impressed by how safe the place felt. Not at all like that film - 'the wanderers' lol.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

get somewhere around Washington Sq or Union Sq - where all the NYU students hang out - more fun for the youth.
Having said that I like to stay at that really tall hotel on Cental Park South above 44th floor park view - cheesy old style hotel but the views over the park are amazing to wake up to.Comment
