Want to spend my 4th year anniversary in NYC--live in MA and can't stay out for too long b/c of work. Anyways, looking for achic, trendy hotel(wondering if the Ian Schrager hotels are still in?), and if have any nightlife musts, please pass the info along. We are both 30 going on 20, fun and partying is still a must..Thanks for the reply in advance...Some restaurant suggestions will also be appreciated, but I know Zagat is a good reference..

W hotel at Union sq and 18th street, very trendy indeed. Lovely lobby and downtown is where I like to be.

Maggy, if you want to move your post to the top for others to see just 'reply' to your own message , rather than reposting. That way, all your answers will be together.

Also, if this forum's search feature is working (it doesn't always...) just try a search for 'NYC' or 'NYC concerts'
There have been a lot of NYC posts in the past couple of weeks with many great suggestions.
Hope this helps

The Tribeca Grand Hotel has a very happening bar scene.
there is a very cool restaurant in Alphabet City called Chez Es Saada that is a very cool French/Moroccon.

Thanks Sarah, Philip and anonymous x for your replies..I will keep these in mind while I keep researching..
