I'm thinking about another trip to NYC maybe sometime near the summer. I LOVE NYC and I haven't been back in over a year. Any suggestions for new places to try and visit? I've already been to quite a few of the usual touristy stops but any/all suggestions are welcome!
Oh, and any affordable hotel recommendations? In Manhattan and near subway stops preferably.
The next time I go to NYC, I plan on getting completely lost in the Lower East Side and in Brooklyn.
I booked a room at the Gershwin Hotel through www.quikbooks.com (dc recommended the site on FH and later ST a lot). They're located in the Flatiron District, which is about five blocks away from Herald Square (hugs subway hub) and also near the 4,5, and 6 lines (which take you up to Grand Central). I paid $143 for a Superior room for one night. The only thing I would advise is to, uh...not put all your beauty stuff on any glass shelves int he bathroom...my BFF and I tried to do that and broke it by accident (they were really nice about it though).
next month we are going into the city and staying at the sheraton four points chelsea. it was only $205 and looks pretty cool, good location near subway too. i'll let you know what it's like after the trip.
