We have
all sorts of offers and suggestions, and we are sorry some of this stuff gets
expensive…
The Doubletree in Midtown (51st and Lexington):Waaaaay
down the street (Lexington) from us (a cab ride or subway ride away), this is a
big hotel with all the amenities you’d expect in a Hilton property. Laurie’s mom’s good friend Mary has
secured an excellent price, and if you need more info on this, please let us
know.
The
Franklin Hotel: A block from our apartment and with very quaint and
cozy rooms (read small and creative with where they put the bathrooms in each
room), the well-appointed Franklin is actually pretty reasonable. And as far as
location, you literally can’t get closer!
Marriot Courtyard New York Manhattan/Upper East Side
(410 East 92nd Street): About seven blocks from us, this is another big hotel
with everything you’d expect a big hotel to have, including parking at $45 per day. Book early and online to lock in the lowest prices.
Air Bnb:
This is a relatively new thing for us…we plan on using this service often when
we travel for our honeymoon. Basically, you stay at someone else’s place and
pay them a nominal fee. No pillow chocolates or turn downs and you may have
noisy neighbors with no one to complain to, but you will save significantly!
When you do your search, select our neighborhood (Upper East Side) where the
wedding will be, or Union Square, which is close to Edi and the Wolf where the
reception will be. Rhonda, Dan's mom, is the expert on using this if you have any
questions or just need a quick tutorial.
