Hi off to new york in April. Any good hotels? I like house and hip hop, stuff like J5. Are most places really open 24/7. Good places to eat. Any ideas help. thanks

You MUST go to the Cloisters which is an old monastery in upper NY

Go to SoHo and visit the great shopping spots (Chanel, Louis Vitton, etc.) and eat at Peep - this totally fun Asian fusion restaurant with see-through bathroom walls - well, not really. You can see the diners but they can't see you. Nevertheless, it messes with your head to pee with a bunch of strangers "looking" at you. The food and the martinis are good, too. The restaurant is on Prince Street. Call information to get exact address. And yes, most places are open 24/7. It's my old home. I miss it sooooo much.
As for hotels, stay AWAY from anything under $250 a night. Seriously. They are all dives. New York is expensive. There's no getting around it. If you have money to burn, do the SoHo Grand or W Hotel (the one downtown where the fun is).
Have a blast!

There are many places in NYC that are cool and are missed by most tourist. If you are talking music the place to be is down on Bleecker street many good bars/clubs down there.
For food there is a good place in the west villiage called Boxers that has a great burger and beer is always cold. I also love the restaurants at the South Street Seaport.
The Milford plaza by the bus terminal is always offering cheap rates on hotel rooms.
If you dont want to spend money on the ferry to go to the statue of Liberty you can take the free ferry to Staten Island and still get a glimse of the statue as you go by. They also sell beer on the ferry!

yea there are some really good places to visit you can go to century 21 near world trade center for some good deals on clothes. also some places uptown(harlem) if your into soul food or some great tasting fish. since your intothe area is really becoming built up around 125th so i can prettty much garentee youll see others doing the exact same thing.since your in to hip hop beatstreet in brooklyn is landmark store for records. if your really feelin strong about hip hops roots you can take the train uptown to the bronx on the 2or5 train and lok at the area to see were it all started. it travels above ground so you can really see somemurals and graffetti they have $3 drinks down in the village tho i cant remember the place. also dont miss out on 42nd street they have alot of free fun down there such as the virgin mega store toys r us store m&m store other places. the city is so big you can general finds things to do your whole day.

the Howard Johnson on 42 street is really cheap and really central.......just next to Macys and same road of the empire state building
Most places you will hear about, but there is a huge mall just on the outskirts, also go to Canal street its in China town and its where all the fake named gear is,
have fun
