I would skip 230 5th. I've never been on a weekday, but on the weekend it's a miserable mix of B&T 21 year olds. I once saw a security guard wrap a girl in a garbage bag and carry her out as she was vomiting on herself.

I've been to Please Don't Tell. The phone booth thing is cool and all. Make sure you call at exactly 3pm on the day you want to go to get the reservation though. One time I wanted to take my sister and we could only get a reservation for 1:30 am. IMO Rain's Law Room is a better speak easy. A butler answers the door. It's pretty neat.

Well I'm equally sorry you have comprehension issues and do not understand any of the legal matters since they pertain to the person who is listing the space and not the client staying in the space

Oh and here's some friendly advice that will serve you well online, read your own articles before posting them - especially if they prove the point of the other person you're disputing

lol

Or you could walk down 5th Avenue from MMA to Rockefeller Center and take in the beauty of one of the most gorgeous urban streets in the country. That's about 30 blocks, or 1.5 miles. You will love it.

Have fun!
I wanted to add to this that the American Museum of Natural History (which is on the West side of Central Park) also has a suggested contribution instead of fixed admission meaning you pay what you wish. I believe it is also the same for the Museum of City of NY (which north of the Metropolitan Museum also on 5th Avenue).

Thanks everyone and yes def checking out the museums for sure!!

Thoughts on The Pearl Hotel, Eventi, or The Bentley Hotel - Bentley about 2.6 miles from Times Square but the views and rooms look AMAZING!!!

I think we may just book our flight and wait on booking hotel for a bit, watch the groupon and other online deals etc....right now groupon just scheduling thru March so in Feb should have April deals.

It is good to combine Chinatown with Little Italy as they are next to one another.

OP: Since you've a few day visit, try to stay Midtown. Please DON'T stay in Times Square. It's just a tourist attraction. I lived in NY 14 years, and visit often. From what you describe, I'd recommend you stay Midtown in the 50s perhaps on 7th Ave. That's in walking of Central Park, Times Square, Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, etc., etc. And gives you the best access to all subway lines to get anywhere.

Great food is everywhere and very reasonable. If the hotel charges, WIFI will be $12-$15 per 24 hours. Pay for hotel location, not for included b/fast or WIFI.

Honestly, don't worry about breakfast/free wifi, just try and get the best location possible for a decent price in a decent hotel.

People like the old Edison Hotel in the W. 40's. They have a small restaurant locals refer to as "The Polish Tea Room," which is a low cost restaurant/diner that has unusual charm.
