New York rates are down, Josey. It's the most expensive city in the nation, however, and the rates reflect this. Last night, I was researching a trip in October and found many nice places under $200. This is NOT the norm! Don't expect $75 rates in NYC...ever!

What do you consider extremely high? Are you expecting Motel 6 rates at 4-Star hotels? You say "there is a drop in the number of visitors to New York but the hotel rates do not seem to drop at all?? "" So, you think the hotels should drop their rates significantly in addition to experiencing horrendously lower fill rates? What's your point? Hotel rates are "extremely high" in New York City because overhead is high. If you were hoping for "fire sale" rates, please stay home. In March, I shopped the web and hotels like the dickens for a terrific rate for our trip in October. As usual, I'm still shopping, and I can tell you that the rates are significantly lower. I guess you just have to be a practiced shopper. But, the rate I got in March is still superb, all things considered. Shame on you.

Josey: So, if this devastation had occurred in your home town, you'd expect the hotels to offer low, low, rates to attract visitors? Do you think that would attract visitors? You can get really low rates in Hilton Head during hurricaine season. Please go there and take advantage of those low, low rates.

If you are willing to travel to New York City anytime soon, lots of others are as well. Many wish to see for themselves the horror that was ravaged upon us and cannot be appreciated on a TV set. Others genuinely wish to contribute their travel dollars to a magnificent destination at this moment in great need of support. Too bad you wish to take achieve personal benefit from a disastrous situation. Ditto: Shame on You.

Josey, Try calling the hotels. Some have not updated the websites yet. I don't see anything wrong with looking for a lower hotel rate. I guess some people don't realize that unless an extraordinary deal is offered, some travelers wouldn't even consider staying in New York. Many airlines are now offering incredibly low rates, which just might entice travelers who otherwise would not have considered a trip as it was out of their budgets. If the hotels are offering lower rates, they obviously value your business, even if you're not paying top dollar.

I would recommend trying Priceline as well. I used it for the first time in August, bid $75 for a 3-star in Times Square, and got the Hilton Times Square which I thought was an excellent deal. This was before the attack and I would think you could get even better deals now.

I second the notion of trying Priceline.com. You specify the general area, i.e. Midtown and the number of stars 1 to 5 (the caveat is: Who knows how Priceline determines the number of stars). However, a friend got the Marriott in Times Square for $70 for late this week. Now that's cheap.

Josey,
I just booked a room at Quality Hotel Eastside for 4 nights Dec 13-Dec17 for $80 a night. This hotel is in the Murray Hill district, on Lexington Ave. Clean and comfortable, $80 a night is a deal anywhere, but for NYC at Christmas it is a steal.
Go to their web site at www.choicehotels.com.
Hope this helps

Josey,I went through Priceline last
Thursday for the first time and got
The Inter-Continental-The Barclay
on East 48th STreet off Park Avenue
for $100 for this coming weekend.
If your party doesn't have more than
two people you might want to give it
a try.
