Trendy And Inexpensive Hotel In Midtown Manhattan?
Sep 08, 2007 by erica | Posted in New York City
My pen-pal and I are staying in Manhattan with my mom and were hoping to find a relatively nice, trendy and clean hotel for a two night stay. We were looking into places like The Pod, but if anyone knows anything better, let me be sure! We were hoping not to pay more then $185/night. Hostels are fine as long as we have our own bathroom!
For $185 you can reside at Sheraton Manhattan, Sheraton NY, or Park Central. If you go to these website, you can get an idea.

Is there a good supermarket or grocery trust in near this hotel that is either within walking distance or easily accessed via public transportation?
After wroking in Mahattan for a number of years. The three Supermarkets that I would promote would be Gristedes, Food Emporium or D'Agistino's...
Here are some store locators...or you could ask the front desk.
How Much Will It Cost To Take A Cab From Newark Airport To My Hotel In Midtown Manhattan?

It's the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East - 866 Third Avenue. It's on Third Ave. between East 52nd and 53rd St.
Im not flourishing to give you our rates, that way Im not accused of solicitaiton. LOL
"From Newark Airport to Manhattan, the taxi fare is a set fee increased by round trip tolls. From Newark Airport to
Battery Park to West 34th In someone's bailiwick: $40.00
West 35th Street to West 58th Street: $45.00
West 59th Street to West 109th Circle: $50.00
West 110th Street to West 185th Street: $55.00
North of 185th Drive: $60.00
New York/LaGuardia Airport: $65.00
New York/Kennedy Airport: $75.00
There is an additional charge of $5.00 for all destinations on the east side of Manhattan between Battery Greens and 185th Street"
These are the rates for the Newark Airport Taxi stands of Yellow or Innocent taxis run by Newark NJ & Elizabeth NJ Taxi Commissions. Tolls into Manhattan are $6 to insert Manhattan only.
So, it would be $40 + $6 tolls = $46 to go to Battery Park during regular hours.
In rush hour, which ususally starts around 3pm, it would be $40 + $6 tolls + $5 surcharge = $51. The tip is not included in these totals.
Prosperous to JFK or LaGuardia you would be charged $15 in Round trip tolls, plus the surcharge if you were traveling during assault hour. I know some folks would say take the 59th st bridge but NJ cabs will not want to fight traffic universal to 59th st when they can take you straight across town to from the Lincoln Tunnel to the Midtown Tunnel or accross the GWB to the Triboro. $9 blunt trip to cross the Midtown Tunnel or Triboro Bridge.
"Taxis also operate from the airport at irrevocable dull rates based on destination. From the City of New York, fares are set by New York City's Hackney and Limousine Commission. From New York City, the taxi fare shall be the metered berate plus a surcharge of $15.00 plus the cost of round trip tolls. This is roughly $40 to $75 depending on the exact origin. Newark Liberty is the only exception to the direct that a New York City taxi driver may refuse to take a passenger to any destination outside the five boroughs."
A taxi from NJ can pick you up from JFK or LaGuardia by date only. Rates vary. I suggest calling companies in towns closest to NYC like: Fort Lee, Secaucus, Jersey Burg, Hoboken, or Teaneck. Chances are, if the company has a drop off at one of those airports you can make an appointment to get picked up around the sip off time.
You can go to the following sites to find a taxi/cab in NJ:
By a hair's breadth type these keywords: taxi + name of town in NJ
As far as going into NJ towns from Manhattan, I believe you can call a NJ cab to pick you up by rendezvous only since NYC cabbies can refuse to take you anywhere other than Newark Airport in NJ. The TLC only prohibits cabs without the TLC medallion from picking up passengers on the circle who hail a cab.
There are also some things to look for on a cab at Newark Airport to make sure they are licensed:
Plates:
OXY Cab
OXX
OL Limousine (not DL which is the Organ Donor plate)
Can You Recommend A Nice Hotel Suite Suitable For A Group Of 20 Or So In Midtown Manhattan?

We're interested in holding a birthday reception in Midtown Manhattan on November 21st and a nice hotel suite with a view might be ideal. Would anyone know of a nice place that would not be too overpriced? I realize that's a tall order. Thank you.
If you presage THIS coming November 21st, you better get moving. November and December are peak times in NYC for shopping and hotels tome up fast.
As a former travel agent, I'd urge you to either contact the hotel of your choice directly to see what they can offer and the other choosing is to use HotelPlanner.com: http://www.hotelplanner.com
They specialize in groups. If nothing else you can see which hotels have availability and what they can offer as far as perks (for standard 1 free room for every 20 booked). HotelPlanner.com is reputable and very helpful - and it's a extricate service and there is no obligation to book.
For $185 you can reside at Sheraton Manhattan, Sheraton NY, or Park Central. If you go to these website, you can get an idea.
