Frankly, the idea of travalling to New York alone scares the pants off me. Does anyone have any suggestions for a safe and reasonably affordable place to stay? The con is at Penn Plaza Pavillion, across from Madison Square Garden, if that helps. Thanks for any and all input!

I just saw opportunity to wise crack. Good luck, have fun.

It seems pretty central and right next to Penn St station its pretty easy to get to and from. Close enough to walk to Macy’s and the Empire State building. The hotel itself was OK. I though the room we were in was a little on the small side and some of the fittings had seen better days but it was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and we had no problems during our stay. Walking out was fine and, having just asked Gigglebot she said she feels she could have stayed there on her own without feeling threatened. Just stay on the main streets. Hope you enjoy yourself at the con. Faithfull

New York isn't scary any more. I'll gladly do so! Sadly, I really can't think of anywhere to reccomend that would be cheap in Manhattan. Sorry . Its so expensive still! But Jorg is right, NYC isn't really that scary anymore. Especially where the Con is going to be near Penn Station and where all the hotels are. Its much nicer than in decades past. After all, I occassionally patrol the streets
