Hi Thereuare, Thanks for the information - i'll make sure to complete this thread once the transaction is done :) Sorry about my oversight. As an aside, i'm also willing to spend more then $150/night - i'd be content in the $200-225 range (does that give me more flexibility?). While i have no issues with the downtown financial district, i'd prefer to stay somewhere that more convenient. So i'd say let's avoid the financial district for now. Otherwise, i think these zones (Which were mentioned in the old post) - MTE, MTW, TS, CPS, ESB, MSG, Chelsea - are fair game. Also - let's avoid the Hudson Hotel :) Thanks for your help. Andrew.
