Don't forget to use the attached map * Maybe you’re wondering about where to stay in NYC: I would suggest to find an hotel in Manhattan. • The west side is charming. In the Village/Soho/Chelsea/Meatpacking you’ll find plenty of options, maybe not the cheapest ones. If you choose to stay a little bit more uptown, you’ll be able to find better deals and enjoy Central Park. • Midtown is sometimes more practical and convenient, but sometimes too crowded. In any case, I would suggest you not to go “too uptown”, to be able to visit Brooklyn without being too far away.
