Congratulations on your win!

Hope this works well for your plans. Since i believe you're moving to the Hyatt the following nite, if you don't have a car you may want to check the Shuttle schedule to the PATH station (it's walkable, but you may not want to if you have luggage) as this will basically take you right there and no need to pay for a taxi :)

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy this leg of your stay.

We'll be driving down from Toronto and will be arriving relatively late, so we figured that we could compromise and save a little by staying the first night at the Candlewood and the other two nights at the Hyatt.

Would it be a big mistake to drive into NYC on a Saturday night? Just wanted to cruise around the city and get a feel for it.

how about taking the PATH train and use a Hop on-Hop off bus and leave the driving to someone else? :)

You won't get a feel for the city by driving around at nite as you'll likely (hopefully) be concentrating more on the road, other cars, and pedestrians... driving in NYC is not like driving in most other cities, and something i would get comfortable doing during the day before attempting at nite (if you really felt the need to drive in the city, although i don't recommend it).
