Trip to NYC to see Martha!

Hi all,

Your advice is great! Here is my situation: I have tickets to see Martha Stewart's new show, which tapes in Chelsea. We will be driving in from Detroit, and I am looking for the best options for where to stay and how to get to the Studio (on 26th Street between 7th and 8th) once I get there (taxi, subway?).

I've never been to NYC, and I am SHOCKED at the hotel prices for Manhattan! $400-500 a night is WAY out of my price range, so is it better to stay in Jersey and take a train or something into the city? Or are there any "cheaper" accommodations in the area - and how does parking work (I drive a large SUV - hey, I'm from Detroit!)....

Thanks for any advice anyone can give!!!!

What time frame are you trying to book a hotel for?

Parking will definitely be better at New Jersey hotels, which is something to consider. The inconvenience of taking the train from NJ may balance out that of having to find parking in NYC.

That being said, have you looked into flights? There seem to be a lot of fare deals running right now, and with the cost of gas, surely that could be a cost-effective alternative...

On a side note, why does Martha look good on her talk show, and almost weird on Apprentice?
