I don t know too much about hotels.For restaurants, I can recommend a couple of things. Times square and theme restaurants are overpriced and usually mediocre. Two blocks west of there is Ninth Ave where you will find score3s of restaurants where locals eat. Many ethnic cuisines are represented here. They are mostly concentrated between 42nd and 57th street. A little further south, at 37th street is an NY icon known as Manganaro s Hero-Boy. Italian style plates and heroes reasonably priced. Possibly the best Hot Dogs in NY can be found on 7th ave and 37th street at Papaya King.One restaurant that I have always enjoyed going to is a Spanish restaurant simply called Spain and is on 13th Street, just west of Sixth Ave. Skip the appetizers, they will bring several complimentary.Many people enjoy walking around Greenwich Village, which is where this place is. You can also find music clubs in the area. While in NY look at those boxes on the corners with the free newspapers in them, they have a lot of entertainment listings in them and usually come out on Thursday. The best ones for that purpose are Village Voice, NY Press, and Time Out NY. You could also check the internet for their websites.
