I think the go downtown idea is a good one - but go uptown is just as good an idea - esp if you head to the upper west side - from 70's up to Columbia and even further.'
Tons of reliable not expensive hotels, many dozens of inexpensive restaurants of almost every possible ethnicity and great public transit.

Good article. The author is saying a lot of the stuff that is said on this board - despite the continual criticisms.
"The best way to save money in Midtown is to spend more time downtown — advice many a New Yorker has foisted upon visiting friends. But I spend enough time in other people’s cities to know that certain zones get tagged as tourist traps for a reason: they have attractions worth seeing. Such is the case in the heart of Manhattan."
