Nora, your best deal on Priceline for a weekend will likely be way downtown in the financial district, even though they'll call it "downtown/Soho" BUT it's really not that hard to get around Manhattan. I saw $200/night for an unnamed 4 star (out of 5) just the other day, when randomly browsing.
50th and 10th is on a rapidly gentrifying strip of a slightly gritty area. You can get a $15 cocktail nearby, but might have walk by a crackhead or two to get there.

Heck, I walk by a crackhead on my way to the grocery store--if my neighbor's awake and out on the sidewalk smoking at that hour, anyway.
Allyson, you ROCK!!! Congratulations!!!!
oh god, ita, I forgot to mention that Bev&Mo has Ting!

That's part of the charm!
Seriously, the only reason I mentioned it is because a very good friend lives across the street, so I knew it was there and pretty cheap. The C/E is only two blocks away, and you can usually get a cab on Tenth.
I'm spoiled because I never have to get a hotel room, with her living there.

Dude. And there's one in Simi! I hope they have it here.
RE:Ting. They had it in Pasadena yesterday. I saw it in the soda aisle after I had already left store and was walking past their windows. I almost went back to get some.
I think I might have a beef patty tonight. I blame Jesse and you.
Congratulations, Allyson! That's fantastic, and I can't wait to read the book!
