How long is the subway ride from Midtown to Williamsburg?  Coney Island?

Williamsburg is just over the river.  From grand central maybe 20 mins, there is a transfer.
Coney Island is a lot further out.

Are you talking about going this September, or next September?

My sister has a rather decent apartment right in Manhattan that is empty right now. I could probably get her to let you stay there...
Aww, that would have been more than perfect, thanks, but it's next September I'm aiming for :(

I think my favorite (in realm of NYC affordable) is The Muse. Generally Kimpton hotels are nice.

On the cheaper end the Holiday Inn Express near Madison Square. Area around Madison Square isn't all that lovely but the hotel is alright for a Holiday Inn.

I haven't stayed at them but I know the hilton and doubletree that are near the UN building are much cheaper than their other namesakes.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Maybe you can do some kind of house share thing. When I went I was there with two friends who live in Paris and they swapped houses for a week with a couple that lived in a fancy part of Brooklyn.

I'm a bit out of touch - mostly give recs to people coming in on expense accounts.  i'd defer to garbo.

I know it's a year out... but Minsky, you would very much enjoy meeting Brazen when she rolls through town. :thumbsup:

NYC is a terrible place.  With terrible people.  Go to Boston instead.
PDH!
