NO SUCH THING AS WHAT YOU ARE SEEKING--NOT AND EXPECT TO BE ALIVE IN THE MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!I have a Jew buddy who flies into NY to buy rags for his clothing stores. He takes a limo from the airport to his hotel. His hotel has an elevated walkway into the rag exhibition building. He buys, he walks back to his hotel via the walkway and he sleeps after meals have been brought to his room. The next morning he settles with the hotel front desk via phone using a credit card, waits for a call from the front desk that his limo to the airport has arrived, goes down the elevator and makes a mad dash through the lobby to his limo which takes him back to the airport and he flies out."I do it this way for years," he said. "I am still alive. This is right way!"Get the flavor?I suggest you bed down in Boston, hire a limo to run you in and remain on stand-by until you are ready to get back to Boston and catch your plane. You TOO may get back out alive if you follow my advice.

It's best to avoid NYC hotels period! They are very expensive and their customer service sux. If you don't believe me,check out Tripadvisor (tripadvisor.com) and you will see pages and pages of unsatisfied customers of every hotel in NYC and if they do have good reviews expect to pay top dollar! It's best to stay at a bed in breakfast in someone's home and they are usually 50% cheaper than the average NYC hotel and the owners are very accomodating. On top of that, they offer some kind of continental breakfast. My parents in law stayed at a bed in breakfast in Manhattan (yes manhattan!) back in December 2005 for $95 per night at a B&B and they had a very pleasant stay. I even checked out the owner's place prior to reserving it and it was very clean and pristine. The owner even had an apartment on the 2nd floor that you could rent if you are traveling with a group of people. The apartment has 2 beds, a kitchenette, bathroom, and a washer and dryer. This apartment you can rent is for $140 per night! If you are interested, click on my nickname and email me. I can give you the owner's name and contact info. It's best not to wait too long otherwise, the apartment can go to someone else.

Hi, Try staying in Midtown or either side of Central Park on East Side or West Side. Have a look at www.Hotels.com or Travelocity.com or Expedia.com.Here are some ideas of what you can do while in NYC. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.UPPER WEST SIDE:Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.MIDTOWN:Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.St. Patrick's CathedralMuseum of Modern ArtSony BldgRockefeller CenterGo west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.Empire State Bldg.The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.CHELSEA:Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun.WALL ST:Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve.
