thanks so much for all those info.. i have come up with a solution of stayin' at the Marquis (sp?) near Times Square (i think) what would parking be like there?? does the hotel have parking there?? or I should just park at the Park & Ride in NJ and then take the train in.. and also about the Marquis. is it a nice hotel?? cuz my sister told me to stay there cuz she stayed there last time since she is an employee of Marriott.. thanks
