My wife and I are going to stay there for our anniversary trip in April and I was just curious about what you think of it. We're getting an amazing rate through a friend of ours who's sister is an executive there.

Default I've stayed there but not in an executive suite. I prefer the W on 47th and broadway but it's too

cool of a hotel for you ;P

We'll be going out for dinners and shows. I'm sure we'll spend a lot of time indoors, though.

I agree. I'm not up for a "cool" hotel.

Default As other will chime in, NYC is a great place to be at that time of the year.

The cool weather is awesome to just wander around the city as well as hang out in the many parks.

You should make a point to check out the parks in lower manhattan.

An early congratulations to you and your wife! How many years?

Default Don't forget about Central Park as well.

have never really hung out there til recently. Let me tell you that will be a great place in early spring.

Hey maybe you and your wife could do a drink w/my g'friend and I. I swear she walks upright and is a respectable human unlike myself.
