When searching for accommodation in New York Hotels are usually the first choice in tourists minds. Whilst there are obviously hotels aimed at a wide range of budgets and requirements, with such competition between the many hotels in New York, there are some great deals to be had.
One thing I have learnt from my research on Amsterdam is just how important it can be to get an idea of where everything is situated with reference to other places you want to visit. Although many sites have small maps indicating their address, the Real Travel site lists the New York Hotels alongside a mash up of their database and Google Maps, meaning you can see where exactly your preferred New York Hotels are situated. I had never realised just how geometrical the street layout was in NYC - it looks a little like Milton Keynes! Anyway, you will also find links to blogs and specific posts on the city, should you wish to hear about life in the Big Apple from a personal angle.
