Advice on going to New York Needed

Hi Guys,
I am off to New York for the first time I will be arriving the day after boxing day, as this will be my first visit I am unsure which area to stay in, I am looking for somewhere near central park (i think) but not to far away from all the sites, does anyone have any advice???

I hope she can give me some advice, I really want to pick the right place to stay.

Hmmm...there was just a post about this.
As far as anything near central park is concerned it's going to cost you some good money.

It was here http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/showthread.php?t=54777, in that thread they have some links that may help.

 

[min0 lee]

It was here to be exact.

Thanks for that, I dont mind spending some money for a good hotel, we will only be there for a week so am looking for some luxury, I just need to know where the best base location would be?

 

[min0 lee]

Oh......hmmmm, well then if you plan on staying by central park then I would suggest staying at the lower part of central park. In the middle it's ok but at the top most of central park I don't think there is anything worthwhile.

If you have money the Hilton is right across the street from central park.
Great scenery.

I was also considering 45 West 44th Street, i think this is by Times square??? What it like there?

 

[min0 lee]

Times square has changed but it's still rough. You have to be careful with the riff raff.

There nothing like local knowledge!

I like the look of the Hilton and the Trump hotel looks nice.

Is there anyone else here from New york who can advise on which area to stay in?

 

[min0 lee]

P-Funk and GoalGetter are pretty good.

Why does you avatar say "pumping Iain"? Do you know IM's Iaindaniel? Are you going to New York as a stop on your route to stalk him?

I stay in hostels in Manhatten, because I can spend more on entertainment, and I'm not going to be in my hotel room in NYC anyway. I'm going to be walking the neighborhoods and playing.
