Hello! I go to NYC yearly for the past 5 years and have been staying at some hotels and apartments. Stayed in the Flatiron district 2 years ago and stayed in Columbus Circle area last year. I don't mind staying in these areas again, but would you have recommendations on other central areas of NYC? I would love to be in a hotel near shopping and great restaurants (don't care about bars of night life). I could cut the trip and stay in one hotel for half the trip and try another hotel in another area for the second half of the trip. Budget is around $250-$350. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions! :) Many thanks! Sam
