New York, NY 10016

sarah l. writes: the good: it's open 24 hours and doesn't judge a girl for coming in looking haggard from too much alcohol at 4am.

the bad: they will kick you out of their little outside seating area for not being a "patron that bought something from us today"

Garlic Rose Bistro

28 North Ave W
Cranford, NJ 07016

Janelle T. writes: My friend chose to go to the Garlic Rose for her birthday dinner celebration.  It's located right on North Ave in the town of Cranford.  Parking is ridiculous on the street, so go around the block and park behind the restaurant in the municipal…

73 Wortman Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11207

Caramel C. writes: Okay, this place....I don't even know what to call. Its a huge space; they throw many big concerts for reggae and soca artists, if you are interested. Its an okay BK spot but there are better areas. Its located in a not-so-nice area. Roll in packs,…

Victor's Chateau

215 Newark Pompton Tpke
Little Falls, NJ 07424

K W. writes: This is a very little catering place. I wouldn't recommend this place for a wedding unless your party is really small, but it's a good place to hold a petite size gathering on a tight budget. It's situated on a busy road (near a mall), therefore…

47th Street Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan/Theater District

304 W 47th St
New York, NY 10079

Best Western Gregory Hotel
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Bay Ridge

8315 4th Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11209

Mike B. writes: An old building, the rooms are small.  Staff was remarkably casual, and not eager.

Nothing wrong with it, but this hotel is just a place to sleep while visiting family in Bay Ridge.

Seems to book up fast.

311 W 34th Street
New York, NY 10001

Andy H. writes: As a kid I came here a few times to see WWE Monday Night Raw with my friends. I have fond memories of the place as it was a cheesy looking pink and red opera style venue. I agree with an earlier post...carpet in a venue? WTF?

Kearns Larchmont Deli

135 Chatsworth Ave
Larchmont, NY 10538

Mike P. writes: Kearn's makes pretty good sandwiches that are a bit overpriced.  The interior quickly gets cramped, but its not the type of place people sit down and eat in.

Choices is a bit limited but the Chili Cheddar Wrap is truly exceptional and definitely worth…

Wraps & Things

1936 Palmer Ave
Larchmont, NY 10538

Mike P. writes: Wraps is an alright place.  I've stopped in twice for lunch.  The first time because my friend said it was pretty good and because we didn't want to get pizza again.  My wrap was not that delicious.  The second time because I thought (by my friend's…

New York, NY 10017

Kathleen H. writes: I don't consider myself to be very high-maintenance, but I just could not stay here. I checked in and checked out the next day. Maybe it was just my room, but it was dirty and in need of a renovation decades ago. Carpet was old, paint was peeling,…

mandy f. writes: AKA Sohotel Pioneer Of Soho. The name is somewhat misleading b/c it's not technically in Soho-very near it but technically it's in Chinatown/Little Italy.  Hello, the Chinatown YMCA is right across the street! Regardless it is south of Houston, so I…

Hotel Arlington

18 W 25th St
New York, NY 10010

Gourmet G. writes: Rooms that could be cleaner are decorated in a basic, no-frills style. An increase in rates - they start at $129 - makes this budget property a lot less appealing than it once was, especially given its off-the-beaten-track location. For less money,…

New York, NY 10019

Rob K. writes: New York City is rich in a lot of things, but big rooms aren't one of them. I have watched live music in basements, backyards, tiny bars -- all manner of cramped spaces in the city.

The Roseland thumbs its nose at your weakling little venue. And if…

Hotel Salisbury
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

123 W 57th St
New York, NY 10019

Susan S. writes: You may get a decent price online, but the rooms are small and dated.  The location is great, but there are better hotels in the area.  The decent looking lobby doesn't make up for the shabby rooms.

Renovate, please!

Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Midtown East

687 Lexington Ave
New York, NY 10022

Sarah B. writes: The Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel is not nearly as lovely as its brother in Grand Central.  A step down in presentation, professionalism of staff, and location.  The perk is that the rates are most often less expensive than the Fitzpatrick Grand…

Isadora's Cafe
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Midtown East

16 E 52nd St
New York, NY 10022

Nihad E. writes: It's a good bargain in a part of town that has ridiculous lunch prices. It's good for the basics, but don't try to get too fancy. You can get a sandwich and soup for under $6.

Sam P. writes: Now that both my sister and I live in New York and 60% of my mom's family lives here too, my parents are up here quite a bit.  So much so that they decided to purchase an apartment very close to this hotel, (and, by extension, to my…

Windsor Hotel
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

108 Forsyth St
New York, NY 10002

Candice L. writes: Windsor Hotel has a 4.5 star LES/Chinatown location, but a few short comings in the amenities department. That being said, you're going to pay outrageously for a lot of dumpy places in the city so you might as well get a slightly dumpy one that's…

Best Western President Hotel
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

234 W 48th St
New York, NY 10036

Jeremy W. writes: For what it is...it's not a real bad value.  If you're coming here expecting any kind of "Presidential" type hotel, you'll be sorely disappointed.  I'm setting in my room now watching TV (which seems to have a mind of it's own) listening to the…

Hotel Riverview

Meng X. writes: To stay here, I've one word for Yelpers: penthouse. Otherwise it is not worth the trip (after 2005, anyway), in my snobbiest opinion. Although, I do enjoy the round, slate encased bathtubs in the Junior Suites. And I do believe all the rooms are…

Angelique Bed & Breakfast

405 Union St
Brooklyn, NY 11231

Allison L. writes: Clean, cute rooms at very reasonable (for NYC!) prices. Very subway-convenient -- a block and a half from the F line, which runs all night.

Though there was a crying baby and a yappy little dog, neither interfered much with my stay here.

40 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036
