Will have a week there, only plan to stay in the city
Not chosen a hotel yet
Thanks flatbutt, some good suggestions there
My only experience of NYC was 2hrs at the bus station waiting for a change of bus around mid-night on my way to Canada. I was a tanned white boy just off a bus from Florida, still wearing beach clothes in the depths of winter.

Most frightened I've ever been in my life as there were a few strange characters hanging around
