Suprising the wife with a lil trip to NYC in november. Can anyone recommend a good hotel. Price range is open but don't get "Pat O' Brian" on me, i want to keep it reasonable. Hmm, time to break out my 93' championship stuff.
So you're gonna wear all your Bulls stuff huh? That's a nice surprise, check out the Edison if you're lookin' for something in Times Square . http://www.edisonhotelnyc.com/index.asp
If you can get a list of hotels, check out www.tripadvisor.com for reviews (or you can just go there and browse NY hotels, for example).
http://www.hotwire.com is also a good site for hotel reservations. I got a room at the Hyatt New Orleans during Mardi Gras weekend for $99 per night.
Surprise? Oh, sh*t... I dun' told her... my bad, sexcharged... I even told her you wanted her to make her crazy and get blow'ed up with white stuff... and... oh, man, you're gonna kill me when you get back to work... sorry, man...
xcharge if you wanna do something a little different and really surprise the wife. Check out some of the "boutique" hotels in New York. http://www.hoteltravelcheck.com/search/search.php?search=Enter+City&search=New+York&x=15&y=6
If you want to go old school 5th Ave classy, try the Waldorf, Sherry-Netherlands, or the Plaza. New school downtown hip Soho Grand, Tribeca Grand, Gaansevoort I think the W is overrated personally and wouldn't stay there if I was in NY. The Peninsula is very nice I hear now too. YOu'll pay through the nose for a lot of these places, though I think the ones in the first group might have some deals working. But mc mark's suggestion is a pretty good one, I think.
I stayed at the Peninsula in Chicago two weeks ago, and it is totally pimp. One of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at in fact. I had a freaking huge room and all the lights/blinds/electronics were controlled by touchpads. If the one in NYC is like this you should stay there. Sam there are multiple W's in NY. I've stayed at a couple of them and got typical NYC rooms - small. Very small.
you can try craigslist and look for people renting out their apartments. i found a really nice place (kitchen, kingsize bed, direct TV, broadband) in the city for 100 a night. you usually have to pay a small refundable safety deposit.
We put up a bunch of people from our wedding party at a couple of these hotels. They loved them. Some had kitchenettes. Made you feel like you were "in the know" instead of a regular hotel. They can be pricey, but you can find deals and they're fun.
Who are you kidding Swolen One...you have about as much chance of showing up for work today as Tom Cruise being straight. thanx for the responses...I should have put...I'm looking for a Ride Ride in NYC and this thread wouldda been Huge.
