Spending the weekend in NYC

You could look into the plaza too..FH and I stayed there one weekend for valentine's day..

def check out the waldorf..

also, I know exactly what you mean about the sharing bathrooms thing.. I saw that they have alot of those here in NYC as well..

Check out: City Search

Summer months are off-season for NYC...you should be able to find some really great deals.

We've stayed at the Excelsior Hotel - it's across the street from MoMA - and the Park Central. Both were very nice.
