Off Topic planning trip to NY

Hello all my friendly Fam!!!! I am writing and it's off topic. Some may or may not know I had a trip to NYC last month. That was my first time and I am addicted already and ready to go back. Well I am planning another trip there for July 21-24th of 2005. We are planning it early so we can get all our airfair and hotel paid and really enjoy our trip there. Here is why I am writing, you were a big help before so I am trying my luck again. Last time I posted I was on a budget and I was told to stay in Elizabeth NJ. And that is what I did. I got a nice hotel and a great price. But I am not on such a tight budget this time and am looking for some recommendations. I want to stay near Time Square. For what ever reasons I don't want to rent a car if I don't have to. If I go clubbing and can jump in a cab I would prefer it. Parking is something else down there. With that said can any of you recommend a nice hotel right near Time Square that is really nice for like $200 a night. I looked at the W and wow that's like $500 a night. Gosh can't do that. Historia was rocking $300+. We may still rent a car but want to settle the hotel first. Please give me a couple names and recommendations if you will please. I know you will all come thru for me you always do. I want to really shop and shop and club (I didn't do that last time and I never do that hardly so I am going all out & hope to be at goal by then hey maybe have my tt done) THANKS NAT PS Cookie where did ya'll stay on your trip there.

Have you checked Orbitz.com or Expedia.com? I've gotten some real deals on combination packages through them. Just a thought!

I don't think they like me whenever I try them I get timed out never goes through when I do a search. I am checking out travelnow.com and travelworm.com

We've been a few times and really like the the Best Western "President." It's located on 48th Street in Manhattan, an easy walk to Times Square. It's not fancy, not pricey, but clean and in a great location. We took the subways or buses, and walked everywhere. I would NOT want to drive in NYC! I loved the shopping in Soho and stayed in that area once. I prefer the theatre district! Have extra fun for me!!! Hugs, Becky

Hey Becky so they were clean huh. Were you able to talk to time square from there or did you have to take the bus or train. We want to walk to time square and don't mind busen it other placed or taxi but want to be close enough to walk to time square. I looked at the photos and it looked nice. I will consider. Only $140 a night for 2 beds not bad. Is that by where they have the plays on broadway? Thanks Nat Oh and how far is that from the soho shopping. Anything helsp NAT

I've never been to NYC, it's my dream to go and become a singer... I know you'll have a great time! God Bless, Tiffany.
