Hi guys, I'll be going to NYC for the first time ever...
going there with my gf...
and I need some suggestion for the hotels...
I want a safe place that is convenient for shopping and etc...
I checked out the Ritz Carlton...but it's pretty expensive per night...

thanx in advance

 

Luting,

Any decent hotel is going to be pretty expensive...especially that type of caliber. Welcome to NYC!

Actually, I know the new Westin by times square is offering a 199.99/night special. You might want to call them and see what the restrictions may be/if any. Also, i've heard decent things about Roger Williams Hotel.

As always you can never go wrong with Peninsula, St Regis, Pierre, Plaza or Waldorf. A lot of money, but, right on/off 5th ave for your GF to shop, shop and shop.

 

hahaha...check pierre...650+ a night ^^

 

The hottest hotel in NYC is the new Manderan Oriental in Columbus Circle (but it is expensive, 800 buck a night for a regular room with a central park view)
A nice "bargin" hotel is the Essex House... good prices (200-300), 4 star, and it is on central park south with views of the park...

 

Luting, when are you going to NY? I might be able to help you out...I'm a manager for the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, we own The Plaza in NY. Let me know and I'll see what I an do

it'll be great if you can help out...^^
thank you so much in advance

 

Luting,

Check out www.quikbook.com. I visit NYC about 3X/4X a year. I usually spend between $200-$300 a night. The Palace has some very good deals. It depends where you want to stay, how trendy you want the hotel (not sure how old you are). Le Parker Meridian is nice too. I have stayed at the Omni Bershire, and it is very nice, with big rooms, and is located right off of 5th Ave., so it is very close to the shops. The Plaza is very nice too, Waldorf, but the rooms were a bit small.

 

I like the W....(tried all of the NYC ones except the times square one)...
Omni Berkshire when I stayed there was a crazt 500 a night or something...

 

Hi guys....
Give me some suggestion for the restaurant...^____^
what's the best steak house's name?
other restaurants such as Japanese or French or Italian food are all fine...hehehehe
no cost limit...b/c I love good food...^^ and that's where I spend most of my money to... besides car...wahahaha

 

My cuz is over there, if money isn't an object when it comes to food/dining, then you should talk to him, he knows the best steak houses/ restaurants

Pm me for details.

 

Best Steakhouse is in order

Peter Lugers Only takes cash and need to book at least a month in advance.. Not fancy at all but the steaks are great

Morton's of course

Sparks old style steak house with great service and nice atmosphere

 

Definitely check out Aquavit!!! Excellent food by a renowned chef...

 

I think Sparks has gone down hill over the last 25 years, used to have incredible steaks, now theyre just ok. Peter Lugers is still good, but, most of the people left and started Mark Josephs downtown, which right now I think is one of if not the best steak place in manhattan.

 

W is a safe bet, nice trendy hotel.

 

Mark Josephs prepares an excellent steak as does Bobby Vans.
Puter Lugers in Brooklyn is great, the one in Great Neck is average.
Sparks is nothing special.

Blue Ribbon Sushi for the finest sushi in NYC.
TAO for a good meal and a nice ambiance.

Le Cirque is a must.
