saravision Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 hello All, I love this site!I am planning a surprise getaway for my husband and myself for a weekend. Looking for a 4.5 star + I've been to NYC once and I only recall not wanting to be anywhere near the Times square madness. I think my preference is to be near central park but am flexible. Am I correct that the rebid zones are Brooklyn, Hells Kitchen, Long Island City, Lower East Side, Madison Square Gardens, Harlem?Can you recommend a strategy and price target?Thanks in advance!

thereuare Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 There are a total of SEVEN re-bid zones when bidding 4.5* in NYC, see if you can identify and confirm the seventh one, or ask questions if you're unsure.Which zones are you willing to accept? What is your maximum budget for a 4.5* property, as i think you're likely looking in the $250-area for your dates above, is this within your expected budget?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

saravision Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 The 7th one is Upper West Side right?I am willing to accept any of the other areas except for Times Square. I'd prefer to not be in midtown west but I'm not closing the door. If there are any zones that are likely to get be a poor result, I'm willing to avoid them. I think I'm pretty flexible. My first prize is around Central Park I think. My budget is what it has to be to get a 4.5 star or better I guess. I want to find a good deal and so I suppose I'd hope to stay under $275. Thank you for the help! Link to comment

saravision Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 whoa, that was a lot of work! I won the New York Palace for $228/night. Thanks for the excellent help, can't wait for my trip. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Congratulations on your success! This looks to be a very nice deal for this time of year. Glad to see you're pleased with the results and looking forward to your trip.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.
