Boss is sending me to new York for a week to work at his friends restaurant which is located in the heart of broadway. My question is where would be the best place to get a room that is centrally located to the restaurant and some good beer spots in the city. Also which airport is best to fly into?

JFK is best to fly into but LaGuardia is usually cheaper.

good luck on hotels. Is your boss paying for it? keep in mind that in NYC its pretty simple to get from anywhere to anywhere.

Newark is less of a zoo to fly into. But the subsequent hop into NYC can be a tad challenging.

Not necessarily... Newark Airport to NY Penn is like a 30 minute train ride. Probably easier than navigating subways for an out-of-towner.

I like to stay at The Jane Hotel in Chelsea when I’m in NYC. Quirky decor, good views of the river, right on the Highline park and has a great cafe on the 1st floor, Cafe Gitane. I get one of the tiny cabin rooms (inexpensive, shared bathrooms) when I’m paying my own way. When work is paying the bill I get one of fancy captains rooms (private bath and nice views). There are several good beer destinations within 15 min walking distance: Colicchio & Sons, Blind Tiger, and 124 Old Rabbit Club. Keep walking another 15 min into the East Village and you’ve got Jimmys 43, Burp Castle and d.b.a.

I kind of assumed everyone knew why...

"The Big Apple" is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph.
