New York in October

[coopedup]

Afternoon all,
My folks have very kindly decided to send me to New York for a week in October for my 50th. It has always been a place of interest to visit but sadly I know next to nothing about where to stay, best places to eat, nice bars with music, etc.
Any advice of pointers would be very much appreciated!!
Also looking forward to boarding and turning left

Forgot to say I plan on doing all the usual tourist things during the day but anything in particular to look out for would be good to know!

Oooops, thanks for the link
Budget wise I am not too sure but probably around £1500ish for accommodation.
In the evenings I will be looking for nice wine bars or maybe somewhere that has good jazz players, just somewhere to chill out and relax.
During the day it will be the usual touristy things for a first time visit. Ellis island, Times square, Empire State building, etc. along with a few museums.

Many thanks chaps, Washington Square Hotel was the best deal I could find so far, might very well go for that.

Many thanks again all, much food for thought, cannot wait to get there!
