A glimpse of the place I stayed for the entire duration I was in NYC: Chelsea International Hostel.Darn cheap at US$30 per nite; and in a central location. If you do the math, that's like US$300 for the entire length I was there; that's what some hotels go for per nite. I was seriously considering splurging on a nice place on the last night, but the thought of the hassle having to carry my luggage, etc (well, mostly laziness..hehe) made me stay there all the way. Would I recommend this place this? Hell yeah! If you are on a tight budget like I was, it was truly a wise choice. Of course, its not for everyone: staying with strangers can be daunting. Lucky me, all the people that was in my room.Leme see: 1 yugoslavian seaman with the stinkiest feet,2 french guys (one of whom had to open the window to let the air in),a thai guy who's running a business in the States,and an Italian TV editor (pictured with me above)... well, of course not all at the same time! There are only 2bunk beds! I was there long enough to meet all this people; guess that's the experince of staying in a hostel and it's well worth it. No privacy; no bathroom in the room; no breakfast.. but it was cheap so no complains for me (that is so rare for a sporean ;p ) Not everyone's cup of tea for sure. How central was it? Walk 10blocks, you reach Madison Square, a few blocks away is Macy's followed by the Empire State building, and yeah, just another 10-15mins walk is Times Square... how fantastic is that? Btw, there's free internet at TImes Square at the Tourist Office; and if you need a leak, pop by this huge Toys 'R Us with an indoor ferris wheel!! Another place for free internet is at the Apple Store at SoHo.. lots of Macs for you to surf for FREE! - my fav four letter word- FREE!! More free tips, some museums are free on fridays.I went MoMa for free but there were so many people. Even though it was free, I'd probably pay just to go in for the cool museum with really great exhibits... a definite must-see!!
