Birthday

I want to take my boyfriend in to the city for either dinner and a hotel room or maybe a play....im trying to keep the money reasonable and staying over night on a saturday is expensive. so i was thinking maybe just dinner and the hotel room -- Any Suggestions?? (25 year old couple)

How about a compromise?

Let your boyfriend see a play and take ME for dinner and a hotel room (LOL).

Seriously, though, what kind of food does he like? About how much do you have to spend in total?

Remembering back a few centuries ago to when I was 25, I would%26#39;ve preferred dinner and a hotel room to a play...and you could have eliminated the dinner!

For finding a good price on a hotel

1)Look on travelzoo.com and see whether any of their (hotel) deals will work for you. Very often the specials are for a weekend but may require a 2 night stay.

2) The Park South Hotel has theater weekend packages. Try looking on their website (parksouthhotel.com) to see if that would work for you. They also have packages that just include a voucher for a meal in their restaurant. This would be nice but it%26#39;s not a trendy rest.

3)Go to playbill.com Register for free. See if they have any hotel specials.

4)The cheapest way to get a hotel room in NYC is to try bidding on Priceline for a 4* room, but you MUST know what you%26#39;re doing.

Set aside at least an hour of time to read biddingfortravel.com. First read the FAQ under hotels. Make sure you understand free rebids and all the zones. Then get them to help you construct a bid.

Thanks for the input. I think that I am going to stick with dinner to the city. When I first saw the hotel room prices, I considered just doing a limo and dinner but i think thats a waste of the limo.

I am going to look into the hotels in times square.

I thought about priceline and did research on biddingfortravel.com and I would settle for any of those 4 star hotels. I saw that someone got the hilton for 110 a night.

as far as food....he will eat anything. italian, american, japanese....i thought it would be nice to go to a place thats fun and trendy but not too too expensive. maybe like 100-150??

Try one of the hotels in the Greenwich Village area. I took my girlfriend for a romantic dinner at Chez Michallett in the west Village, corner of Bedford and Grove. Tiny, candlelit bistro, only 12 tables, wonderful food, very cozy, good wines. Edith Piaf music in the background. She absolutely loved it.

There%26#39;s a fairly new hotel downtown with the unfortunate name of the Clarion Collection Solita Soho Hotel. Haven%26#39;t stayed there but it has been getting rave reviews. It%26#39;s more in Chinatown than Soho but you may get a good rate.
