Thanks for great NYC advice!
 

Thanks to all for some great advice for our NYC night on the town. This is what we did:

Stayed at Millenium Broadway (got it for $120 on Priceline). Great location for our purposes. Room was adequate and clean.

Saw RENT for the second time & LOVED it once again. We got 1/2 price tix using broadwaybox website.

Took the NJ Transit train from Hamilton, NJ - would have been cheaper to drive and park and the hotel!

Lunch: Marseille (great!)
Dinner: Osteria al Doge (very good)
Breakfast: Blue Point (very good)

On Saturday night (at the suggestion of someone here), we went to Don't Tell Mama - piano bar. It was GREAT!!!! We had a ton of fun:) Thanks so much (I think it was mclaurie) for that suggestion. We will definitely go back if we ever get overnight babysitting again;)

Thanks again for the great advice that can always be found here.

Glad you liked Don't Tell Mama! Blue Point is new to me so I thank YOU for that. Their brunch looks terrific. Did you jsut find it or did someone recommend it? What did you eat there?

Thanks for the tips. Glad you had a wonderful time.

mclaurie - we brought our laptop with us & searched through various websites for brunch ideas within walking distance to the hotel. Blue Point was close to Don't Tell Mama - we walked by it to get there! The food was tasty & it came with a free drink:) It was also very inexpensive for NYC - I think $12 a person. I had brioce french toast & DH had a crepe. They had some seafood choices (lobster roll, egg with crab) as well. The place is small, but cute. There is a long bar & a handful of tables. The decor is blue/green tiles & lots of silver/chrome. Kind of a modern vibe. I liked Marseille better, but the food was good & service was excellent.

Thanks again!
