Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Hi Tara, Any specific reason you are looking in Brooklyn? I'm in Westchester so I can't help much in the Brooklyn area, but I thought I'd suggest you check out some of the Manhattan hotels. Many of them have greatly reduced their prices because of the dip in tourism. I've been over to Brooklyn a couple of times in the last month and for some reason the weekend traffic is KILLER coming and going into Manhattan and on the BQE (Brooklyn Queens Expressway). Wouldn't be bad if you are taking the subway tho.(or you could drive in but I'd only recommend that if you already know Manhattan, it's kinda crazy right now). Also, near NYU there is the Hotel Thirty Thirty located at 30th E. 30th Street between Madison and Park. The phone number is 212-689- 1900. They charge $80.00 a night for NYU patients but they might also be reasonable for anyone else. Another suggestion would be to stay in Westchester County. The hotels are much cheaper and you could take the Metro North into the city (or drive, again, if you dare, lol..I drive in but I know my way around, I don't know what it would be like for someone who doesn't). I'm in Bronxville and it's about a half hour train ride for me and costs about 9 dollars round trip. You could check for hotels in Yonkers, White Plains, etc. Maybe someone from Brooklyn has more info than I do. Hope you have a great trip! Barbi > Hello!
