Travelling in Style: NYC

I'm not sure how long I'll stay in New York state, so while I'm here I'm trying to take advantage of my proximity to some of the major east coast cities. This spring we're hoping to spend a weekend in NYC, which I've only been to once before--and that was a for a half day high school field trip, so its safe to say that I know nothing about the city. As always, Kyle and I did extensive research on where to stay. Of course, hotels in NYC are ridiculously expensive, so ultimately our choice will be dictated by budget. But in my dream world, we'd stay at The Greenwich Hotel. In fact, in my dreamworld, we would live in the Greenwich Hotel.
