Well, while I have read up , not sure if these are the best zones for what we want to do Here goes zones - which would be safe, well connected and have lot to do at night - clubbing, drinking ,eating Central Park South, Chelsea, Empire State Building Area, Lower East Side,Madison Square Garden,Midtown East & West,Soho & Times Square Please let me know how I should proceed. If 150 USD for a 3 star is unrelaistic, then perhaps can go upto 180 ( all inclusive) Thanks
