Thats a pretty okay hotel. It's an easy walk to 30 Rock and the Empire State
building. A longish walk to Times Square, pretty far to the 911 memorial.
There is a diner between there and the Empire State that I used to go to. Old
school, big menu, good food, small money. I can't find it on Google Maps, it's
been a long time since I've been there.
Another thing you might check out, try to be at B&H Photo (33rd & 9th) at maybe
4:30 on Friday. The place is run by Hasidic Jews, they close at sun down on
Friday which, at least in the 90s when I went there "Put down the items and
leave now." It was pretty funny to watch people who didn't know what was going
on.
