In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <1311867812.18171.YahooMailClassic@web110415.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Per, In my humble opinion, you will be better off being in Manhattan than having to deal with the extra time and hassle of getting back and forth from New Jersey by train. I would look for the best deal you can find and compare the prices to what you find in New Jersey, but then factor in the extra time and inconvenience of having to rely on the New Jersey transit train. That said, I know hotels in Manhattan can be very expensive; this one might have a good price: http://www.thehotelnewton.com/. Tell them you are in town to attend an event at Columbia University and they may give you a discount.

Check this out: http://gonyc.about.com/od/hotels/tp/topcheaphotel.htm You may also be able to find a good rate on Priceline, some of my friends swear by it.
