gladroger Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 At the end of the strategy I kinda lost faith so I added MTE with no success from 200$ to 248$, then at 250$, I got Intercontinental The Barclay. However I'm happy and I think it's good price for NYC, thanks a lot for your effort! Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you're pleased with the results for this busy time of year (and these dates specifically) in NYC.You're also near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Enjoy your stay.

slruud Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Ess a Bagel doesn/t look too far from the Omni...will check it out next month. Link to comment
