there wud be about 8 of us.. and we are looking for THE cheapest hotels (since we're all students and kinda poor :-\!!) in a safe location, preferably near downtown
we're all googling like mad, but so far the ones we found are like $300+ per night... is that the cheapest?

any kind of help/info would be MUCH MUCH appreciated..

also cheap restaurants/food places.

oh and cheap outlets for shoppingg

(wow we're so cheap )

It is difficult to get cheap hotels in downtown.. maybe find cheap hotles in other areas and just use subway. For cheap food, check local/small resturants, they are cheap compared to the big names. cheap shopping...lol.. i guess go to china town even on fashion ave you will find lot of small stores that are not too expensive... rest I hope a yankee will be able to give you better answers lol

have fun!

Zyxw, have a look a Welcome to the Central Park Hostel - the Best Budget Accommodations in New York City Take a full 10-bed dorm room. that will cost you approx $280 per night (for all 8). Ask them for group discount as they do group sales. All the best!
