I'm having a blast researching this trip. I'm really getting into it! Heh.
I not at all familiar with NYC so I don't know where to get the hotel. So I was messing around with Google Maps trying to orient myself in Manhattan when I found their "My Map" feature. I played with that some and made myself a NYTrip Map. What I've started doing is plotting places Sandy & I are going (and/or might like) to visit. From there we'll look for hotels in those areas.
The NYTrip Map is going to be neat too... Once the trip is all planned I can post where we're going to be and then aftewards I can update/add places we actually visited and link it all to my blog for journal entries and photo gallery for pictures. Sweet. My OCD is in heaven. LOL.

Mr. Elinoire (hey, that's his name in my blog - I like to keep things fairly anonymous :-) ) and I really, really like tripadvisor.com for finding hotels in places we've never been. It's sort of a combination hotel finder and review site.
Lots of really informative (and objective) reviews from normal people who use the site.
We first found this site when we went to Monterey, and ended up changing a hotel reservation based tripadvisor info. When we got to Monterey and happened to see the hotel we'd originally planned to stay in, we were SO GLAD we'd changed. The reviews said something like "great place, lovely old building, but on a very busy and loud street and the sound comes right in." The hotel site, of course, had told us about the location and the cool old building... but didn't mention the busy street or nightclub next door. :-P
Just my two cents. :-)
Thanks for the comments E. Actually Sandy has already been using TripAdvisor based on a recommendation you gave her. I'd just forgotten to mention it earlier in my blog. Thanks for reminding me. :)
