I want to stay at a cool place in NYC, that is not anywhere the tourist traps. I hated the DoubleTree at Time Square. I heard SOHO or East Village is fun. Any Suggestions?

Sounds like you don't need to stay at the Plaza Hotel or the Waldorf Astoria. Here are some cool smaller hotels for you.
-Dylan Hotel. It is a small boutique hotel in Midtown. Saw the daughter of Ralph Lauren here.
-Exchange Hotel, formerly Manhattan Seaport Suites, next to South Street Seaport near Wall Street and NYSE.
-SoHo Grand Hotel, owned by pet-food maker Hartz Mountain. (And yes, dogs and cats are welcome; they even receive perks such as body pillows.) Hangout of many celebrities and fashionistas.
-Tribeca Hotel, an abundance of empty space that you'll wonder is probably a waste of space, but is also rare in Manhattan. The atrium lounge and adjacent bar are popular gathering spots.

My chum, in case you do no longer elect to spend $60, could I advise taking the Staten Island Ferry. Its loose and it passes the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on its thank you to and from Staten Island. In regard to taking a cab, my advice, in case you do no longer elect to get caught in Midtown site visitors take the subway instead. in view which you inn on West 52nd highway between 6th and seventh Avenues, you may take the downtown (southbound) #a million subway line (purple Line interior of sight) from fiftieth highway and Broadway to South Ferry. you additionally can, walk south alongside seventh highway, from 52nd to 40 ninth Streets and take the downtown (southbound) "R" or "W" subway strains (Yellow Line interior of sight) from 40 ninth highway to Whitehall highway - South Ferry. there is an front to the 40 ninth highway subway station at fiftieth highway and seventh highway. The fare on the subway is $2 one way, according to man or woman. in case you traveling NYC for a week or 2, you ought to purchase a 7-day or 14-day countless holiday MetroCard, which will supply countless rides everywhere interior the city on the subway and bus device. The 7-day countless holiday MetroCard fee $25 a man or woman and the 14-day countless holiday MetroCard fee $40 seven a man or woman. i'm hoping this strategies is quite efficient. solid success interior of sight New Yorker

try the gaansevort hotel or the maritime hotel.
if you want something more upscale, the mandarin oriental at the time warner center is the way to go.
