Thanks so much for replying, this forum is great! This is our wedding anniversary and first holiday since our little one was born so I want to make it a very special vacation, husband has never been in NY. Our budget is about $250 a day (less would be big bonus though) as our little one goes to bed at around 8-ish , it would be nice if the room is a bit larger than the usual NY hotel room so we can watch television , read book etc. Minimum 2.5 star rating. Husband is quite fussy :) , accommodation has to be very clean as toddler eats everything from the floor. We don't want to be anywhere near Times Square, we would prefer to be in the more trendy, urban areas like SOHO, Chelsea and Greenwich. I will check out the Salisbury though, thanks for that. Checked Salisbury, whilst it is a posibility it is not a favourite as we prefer more trendy, contemporary accommodation.
