I don't make travel plans 'til the week b4
unless you're into the tourist madness thing stay away from midtown. You can always just take a quick train to times sq.

Very clean, very nice staff....worth looking into.

I would think about Skellys idea last trip out i stayed in Brooklyn and loved it, away from all the tourists, real locals who i found very friendly and helpful

I'd agree with that, I recently stayed the Wellington on 7th Avenue/55th Street, very good location for the usual tourist spots but I think I paid about £80 a night for a little pit of a room. I think that any hotel in NYC just doesn't have the time to be refurbished and as they're busy 365 days a year.
I wouldn't worry too much though as there's so much to see and do you'll spend very little time in your hotel!

It's not too cheap but buy your dollars now and you will find that 60Thompsin is a good'un. I stayed there in December and had a great few days.

Visit NEW YORK 🇺🇲 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by pauljunk on Apr 7, 2008 16:24:26 GMT 1, I recently stayed at the Union Square Inn.
www.unionsquareinn.com/
It's clean, quiet, small and cheap. This place is primo access to all the subway lines.
While you are in NYC I HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking the L train 1 stop into brooklyn and getting off at the Bedford metro area. This neighborhood is the new grenich village. Fun place to walk around.
Quick question for our U.S friends... I am travelling over to NY for a trip in september and want a place to stay quite central if possible. Has anyone got any tips, guest houses or hotels where i could stay which is nice without breaking the bank. Much appreciated... J

The W Holtels are very decent and sometimes you may be able to get a room for $150 - $200 which is very good for NYC. One is located right on Time Sq andthe other in Union Sq, further downtown, but also a great area, within 10 mins walk from the Village, Soho etc. My favourite thing to do there, was hang in Central Park, it's a very chilled vibe and easy as hell to pick up hot women there, just ask some for directions and within the first several tries you'll most likely get the whole "accent" thing and bob's your uncle. The Chelsea Hotel, mentioned above, has a lot of history, especially concerning artists who stayed/lived there, but it's a bit grotty imo.
Paul's recommendation is also a good one, check out that part of Brooklyn, it's a very happening place!
You'll have a great time! NYC rocks!

Visit NEW YORK 🇺🇲 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by bobbymeachamjr on Apr 7, 2008 22:55:48 GMT 1, Most new yorkers would avoid midtown (if they could) like it was the plague. If you like being packed like sardines then go for it. Its basically millions of people on the brink of insanity going to/back from work. Visiting times square is a unique experience but I'm not sure about staying there. I would suggest union sq as theres a subway right there that you can take to visit the luxe/historic upper west/east sides (central park), or Grand Central on 42nd st, walk below to soho/chinatown/little italy as well as being adjacent to the hottest 'hood in nyc - the west village and the meat packing district.
oh not sure if anybody mentioned - union sq is the mecca of young Huppies. NYU and its well to do students run that area.

Visit NEW YORK 🇺🇲 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by bobbymeachamjr on Apr 7, 2008 23:11:11 GMT 1, if you're staying for a while you should definately make it out to Coney Island. One of the last historic ghettos @ the very end of Brooklyn. Home of the most famous Roller Coaster in the world and Nathans hot dogs. Experiencing a tourist revival. Still very dirty and still quite dangerous!

If you want to stay REAL cheap and since we're on an art message board, go for the Carlton Arms not too far from the Gramercy area, right off 3rd avenue. Every room was designed by a different artist and the place is insane inside.
Get a room with a private bathroom though... they have ones with shared, which can be a whole different experience.

Haha! Coney Island is as safe as any other neighborhood in NY. Now East New York on the other hand...
In all seriousness...there are tons of places to stay in midtown 34th street to 59th street and most are perfectly fine. I would recommend staying somewhere south of 23rd street. The boutique hotels are fun (Mercer Hotel, 60Thom) and you'll dominate the dollar. I would stay at Hotel Gansevoort, it is on 9th ave and 13th street. You won't be surrounded by American tourists and will be within walking distance of a TON of galleries. The other option would be The Maritime Hotel around the corner from the Gansevoort...both will set you back between $400-$500 a night.

I sayed there 3 times over the last two years. It's quite near everything. You can walk to most places from there. It's on 30th Street between Madison and 5th.
I like it. It's reasonable.
Or.... The pod hotel on the upper eastside. Looks funky. but too far away from most things.
Have fun - it's a great place. I was going to go back for the Dface exhibition in December, but the credit crunch bites hard.

Visit NEW YORK 🇺🇲 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by vital on Apr 9, 2008 14:49:58 GMT 1, i stayed at this place a few years back and it is so cheap it is ridiculous ($25 per night)
www.whitehousehotelofny.com/
location on The Bowery in east village opposite CBGB's so it is PRIME location
make sure you get a proper room on the second or third floor - the first floor is like a load of small sheds built into a big space - the doors lock and you have your own space but the walls dont go all the way to the ceiling so sound travels very easily..but for $25 what do you expect in central manhattan?
but if you are on a very tight budget then i doubt it can be beaten for price or location

Any idea or advice, anybody?
Also open to ideas for visiting music/dance/theatre venues/events with a bit of urban edge.
I just know that it's too much to hope that a NY equivalent of Martin Bull's Banksy locations book might exist?
