New Yorkers Please Help Me Out....
 

Okay, i have narrowed my hotel selection for the days of July 31st to August 4th to the following hotels: Salisbury, Hotel Metro, and the Roosevelt Hotel. We are two adults and a 16 years old boy. PLEASE tell me which hotel would offer me the BEST location for sightseeing. It is our first time in NY and want to make it a memorable one. THANKS!

Hotel Metro? Is that the Metropolitan on Lexington Avenue at 51st Street (formerly the Loew's)? If so, that's a very convenient location in a nice area (compared to other midtown areas). There are zillions of restaurants just east of the Metropolitan on Third & Second Avenues, and there's a subway stop on the corner next to a coffee shop. <BR><BR>I can't picture the Roosevelt or Salisbury, so I can't comment on the location.

All are near public transpotation so if that is how you intend getting around choice is of little consequence.<BR>You can walk to CEntral PArk, 5th Ave. Times Square and theater district from any of the hotels. Price could be the determining factor.

Thank you Ted and A....<BR> Hotel METRO is located between fifth and sixth avenues.<BR><BR>

I'm quite fond of the Salisbury. It's across the road from Carnegie Hall, and within very easy walking distance of Times Square, the theater district, etc. There's a good deli/coffee shop down the street, and it's also easy to walk to Central Park and Fifth Avenue from there.

Susie: If the Hotel Metro is located on 35th Street, I'd recommend either the Salisbury or Roosevelt as better choices regarding location. Both also appear to be much more substantial hotels. Do a search on both hotels, there have been several recent threads on each.

I also like the Salisbury. Great location.

Cindy, Frank, and X....<BR><BR>Thanks ahead....will research both....<BR>leaning toward the Salisbury

Don't know anything about the hotels, but with a 16 year old boy, you DEFINITELY should go to the ESPN Zone down in Times Square. Great food and lots of fun.

Sharon,<BR><BR>Thank you.... and by the way i made the reservation at the Salisbury hotel.....$209 for a suite....
