Here is a different perspective for you. My wife and I spent this past Saturday evening at the Andaz 5th Ave. We were mega upgraded (paid stay with Diamond confirmed suite upgrade) to one of the 2 bedroom corner suites on the top floors of the hotel. The spacious living room came with floor to ceiling windows and a truly killer view of the New Your Public Library/Bryant Park and the Empire State Building, a slice view of Times Square and what looked to be “the ball” and even a sliver of the Hudson River… Not to mention the wide selection of historic and newer buildings ringing Bryant Park. A truly exceptional multi layered view that rivals or might even surpass a Central Park view.

So what’s the different perspective? Our plans for the weekend were not “Rock and Roll”, but even our more modest ones were never realized as we just hung out in our suite and marveled at the impressive view. We did venture across the street and saw the original “pooh” at the NYPL and managed a slice... but that was about it.

So… If you are coming to NYC to see the city… pick a place that is a good location and is marginal enough that getting out of it is a pleasure… but also nice enough to not suck.
