  ...please!

  i am planning on visiting nyc in a few weeks and i've never been before. i'd like (economical) suggestions on which hotel/area to stay in so i can see the most museums and make the best out of the trip. any particular restaurants i must eat at? any places i absolutely must see?

  i will also need to go to edison, nj for half a day for a wedding. i am not planning on renting a car.

  any and all suggestions would be wonderful. thank you!

  • carroll gardens. sorry!– lvl_131/3

  hotel: the more economical the better. i understand this is NYC so less then $100/night might be difficult. but whatever works.

  how long: planning on staying for 5 days

  what's important: museums, food, art scene, sight seeing, culture -- night life is least important.

  • culture, art, food sights only happen at night, NYC is closed for repairs all day.– e-pill1/6

    these things can happen at night, sure. by nightlight i meant the bar scene, clubs, chicks -- the patrick bateman lifestyle– emukid2/6

    lifestyle. i live that enough as it is.– emukid3/6

    patrick bateman was from chicago– 7point344/6

    i have stayed at http://www.hotel17ny… before and its super cheap...but how about http://www.thepodhot…– pixellette5/6

    the pod had audio, ew.– version36/6

  What 500 a night? 200 night? 300? Whats your ideal? Whats wrong with people afraid to give dollar numbers. I am not going to rob you

  • So just assault and battery then?– locustsloth1/8

    haha. ideally $100 a night but i realize that might be difficult. so as close to $100 as possible. that is what i was trying to say.– emukid2/8

    i am poor. feel free to rob me though.– emukid3/8

    You drink? Got healthy liver?– JourNYC4/8

    yes and yes. will drinking a lot reduce my hotel costs? if so, i am all for it!– emukid5/8

    it will reduce your standards to be sure, emu.

    drink until the gutter looks like a 5-star hotel– 7point347/8

    sounds like a regular evening– emukid8/8

  don't forget to visit the memorial piece of sidewalk where e-pill broke his wrist after slipping on the ice.

  it has more ambience, obviously, during the winter months, but do see if you have the chance.

  e-pill can be found there sporadically at the gift shop. he'll sign your "i slipped on a piece of shit patch of ice on the way to an interview and all i got was this fucking t-shirt" tee

  • careful, he may attempt to get you fired– locustsloth

  This is what I would suggest for hotels. See the link and see which hotel you want to be in. Ideally, midtown / timesquare works because its central and you can go to all the museum with an ease.

  After you found a hotel, post some of the names here and we can tell you how good / shitty it is.

  After, do not book through the site BUT call the hotel and ASK for 5 day discount. Usually cheaper.

  And just say NO to Pod hotel. Unless you want to share bathroom / room with someone at the same price of an average hotel.

  • no bathroom sharing please– emukid

  That hotel would be cool, you were in to most night life in east village but far away from most of the museums
