[nagdu] We're going! We're going! We're going to NYC!

Hi Daryl.
Air B&B is becoming somewhat notorious for turning apartments into hotel 
rooms.  You could try there.  Since you're using someone's apartment, I 
don't think it would be covered by the ADA.

As for chilling out, well, my favorite way is to find a nice place to eat 
and have a glass of wine with dinner.
Bryant Park has an ice skating rink, and it's quite nice to grab a hot 
chocolate from a vendor and sit for a bit enjoying the skating music and 
people-listening.
I think Central Park has a similar setup; don't get up that way much 
anymore.
All along Broadway in midtown tends to be mega-crowded.  A couple blocks 
away is not so bad.

I can recommend some places to eat, but you better bring your credit card. 
Good food in NYC is usually not cheap.
Tracy
