[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone -
I am thinking of taking a short weekend trip up to NYC with my 8 year old son.  I've never really been (maybe when I was younger, but not for a while) and am looking for the touristy things to do with him (empire state building, central park, maybe the Trump towers, the zoo, maybe radio city music hall?...)

When I started looking at hotels, it was hard for me to figure out where to stay (meaning which neighborhoods/areas - not the actual hotels) that would be relatively convenient for all these tourist places since I don't really know 1.) what exactly we'll end up doing/seeing and 2.) where those places are.

I googled "hotels NYC" and got places that said SoHo, Upper East Side, Manhattan something-or-other.....

So, I'm hoping those of you travelers or ex-New Yorkers may be able to help me?

Also, when I looked for hotels I saw prices for as cheap as low $200s to as high as $800s per night.  If you can't tell by my lack of traveling, we're not real wealthy so I'd like to stay in the lower range, if that makes a difference in locations.

Any suggestions of what neighborhoods (or how I can narrow my hotel search) to look for that would be decent (or even any specific hotels you are aware of)?

Any other touristy attractions that you think we'd have fun doing?  I'd really like my son (and me)  to experience NYC at least once and get the most out of it.

Thanks everyone[/quote]
