Recent New Yorker Hotel Review: "I have been to New York about 4 times in the last 2 years to visit upstate BUT I have never been able to go on Full Tourist Mode- stay IN the city and check out the landmarks. Finally we booked the trip and made plans to spend 24 hours in the heart of the city...right across from Penn Station - I was so excited !! The New Yorker is a classic New York  Hotel- built in 1929, it was the largest in the city at the time, with 2500 rooms. It was quite the hot-spot at the time too, the nightlife was legendary- even Big Bands like Benny Goodman's played there. When you walk into the hotel, you immediately get the feel of that era. The hotel was reopened after many years of being closed in 1994 and they made sure to keep things looking as though you've stepped back in time. The Doorman/Valet was great and offered some helpful tidbits about the parking situation ( yes, we had a car since we drove upstate). Parking runs about $35 per day and the garage is about half a block down the side street- I guess that's typical New York. The lobby is sandwiched by two restaurants - the traditional Tik Tok Diner on one side, and the semi-formal Copper's Tavern on the other. We ate breakfast at the Tik Tok- big portions but the food was not great. The rooms are dinky but nicely appointed. As we were only staying one night- we got the basic room but I have seen on their website that they do have larger rooms available. If you feel at all claustrophobic- I would recommend getting the larger accommodations. We were in a corner, with a room right next to us and we heard the guests in that room going in and out and chatting. The bathroom is very small with a tub/shower. Again, I understand that this is standard for the city- I personally am just not used to it. You do get a flat screen on the wall and there is free Wifi but if you want ice, you have to go down about 3 floors. I have to say though, I'm not sure whether it was just real comfy or I was exhausted from walking everywhere but I slept"

Overview
At The New Yorker Hotel, you’ll be just a few minutes from a tour brochure’s worth of classic Manhattan attractions. Step out of this Midtown hotel and find yourself facing Madison Square Garden and Penn Station, both across the street. Shop the sales at Macy’s giant flagship store, just 1 block east. Stop for a juicy burger or a fresh salad in the Cellar at Macy's. Then top your day with a visit to the Empire State Building, 1 block past Macy's. In town for business or a big event? The Javits Convention Center is a half-mile in the other direction. And, if you're heading farther afield, just catch the subway: The 34th Street/Penn Station stop is just outside the hotel’s entrance. The concierge desk, connected to the lobby, can guide you through a Big Apple's worth of tours, show tickets, and restaurant reservations.

Opened in 1930 and renovated in 2007, the hotel itself is a New York classic. The big, bustling lobby retains original Art Deco fixtures like huge chandeliers and a coffered ceiling. Just off the lobby, take a trip back in time to the retro-style Tick Tock Diner, open around the clock. Or try the signature Skyscraper Burger or a sizzling steak at the hotel's Cooper’s Tavern. Befitting the city that never sleeps, room service is available 24 hours a day--as is the fitness center and complimentary wireless internet.

Joe DiMaggio, Muhammad Ali, and Jennifer Hudson are among the famous guests who have slept at The New Yorker Hotel. And now it's your turn. Settle in to your Hotel Rooms, well-located on the 18th floor or above, and watch your favorite HBO show on the flat-panel HDTV. Doze off in the comfort of 300-thread-count linens. You can opt for a room with a view of Midtown, or for more space, choose a suite with a sitting area.

    A short guide to Midtown

    Some of NYC’s best-known landmarks are north of 14th and south of 59th—or Midtown Manhattan. Here, couples kiss atop the Empire State Building. Grand Central Station’s opal-faced clock is a famed meeting spot. While fortunes are made on Wall Street, fortunes are spent at Fifth Avenue’s shops. Other highlights include Madison Square Garden, the United Nations, and the Garment and Diamond districts.
