i go to new york

washington heights is in manhattan but very far from the parts of manhattan you are likely wanting to visit

if you dont want to pay manhattan prices just stay in brooklyn like dayo said

Accepting all info with gratitude and an open heart and mind but it must be presented in turn to an fierce ogre whose thought process consists only of the word MANHATTAN repeated over and over

manhattan, a mere ten miles away from the manhattan you wish to be in

maybe try demonstrating using a map

No such thing as free demonstration under this regime but i will do what i can

brooklyn is super cool and hip ive heard too

sometimes even people from manhattan even travel to brooklyn just to eat dinner they say

Here ya go dmac http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan,_Kansas

There's another borough called Queens, that's close to midtown but cheaper. But a lot of the locations are really shitty. If you like ethnic foods it's good. If it's cheaper than Brooklyn it's good. It's easy to get to brooklyn. Unless the G train isn't running. Which is often.

queens is the new brooklyn, by which we can logically infer that brooklyn is the new manhattan, ergo you can stay in brooklyn (new manhattan)

There's another borough called Queens

?

never heard of it

Washington Heights is lovely IMO but yeah, depending what you're trying to do you'll spend a LOT of your visit commuting. Like if you go out for an evening in Williamsburg or something hep and fresh like that, it'll be an hour to get down there - - - and then possibly 90-120 minutes to get back as the good trains don't run frequently late at night. Worth thinking about. It's not so bad for Manhattan sight-seeing, and you're well-placed for some more forgotten/out of the way destinations like the Cloisters/Fort Tryon Park which is totally lovely, but not a "must do" if you only have a couple days in New York! I think you're better off looking for Airbnb places in, like, Fort Greene - sleep in a cute brownstone on a pretty street, paying Holiday Inn prices, and a short jaunt to nightlife and tourist activities in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

fixed

Well, okay, and stuff in the Bronx and Harlem! They play baseball somewhere up there I think.

There's no help until everyone knows WHERE in manhattan your ogre friend considers manhattan.

Thks all

Also im now gonna call her shrek the unmusical i'll report back

Lots of Irish people in queens too, dmac.

queens seems to suffer from a dearth of non-airport hotels, although there are a few in LIC I think, which is very convenient to both manhattan and brooklyn

also Flushing if you want to stay in the "real" Chinatown

That's strictly for experts

I actually thought about telling my parents to stay in Flushing because there are nice clean hotels there and it's so close by. Last time they stayed in Jersey City which makes no fucking sense.

If I was a good son though I'd just buy an air mattress and we'd sleep in the living room and give them our room.

makes no fucking sense except being 1/2 price of manhattan, I mean

no one shd stay in hotels when theres airbnb

i think my parents are too old and set in their ways to airbnb

man once you get a sweet ass apt for less than a hotel theres no goin back, there are even ones thatre defacto hotels that don't have anyones weird stuff in them cause no one lives there

wait what you stay in peoples homes, and meet them? eugh weird

no you don't meet them but its often someone's apt and they are not there but there stuff is

although some people do rent out rooms so they are there

but then theres lots that are strictly airbnb

well maybe u meet them when they give u the keys

tho some people use managers for that

sometimes there's just a Keybox w a code tho prob not so much in ny

didn't NYC crack down on airbnb recently?

btw it looks like the Wyndham in LIC is like 100ish a night. Pretty good.

tons of hotels in LIC and Flushing, some even in walking distance to some kind of transportation and or culture. But BEWARE, many LIC area hotels in really terrible areas really far from everything and offer no help other than being halfway between LAG and Manhattan.

What if you get one close to the 7

You're just one stop away from Grand Central then

Bet they're expensive though

yeah that Wyndham one is actually not too far from Court Square. Don't know about immediate vicinity, but it's close to the water so it can't be that bad.

eh i dont think theres much they can really do unless they want to declare a war on pretend hotels or something

it's just not worth the effort, like busting weed delivery services

do not come to queens.
you are not welcome here faggot.
