Thanks so much for getting back to me so quick. Is there any other advice that you think you could give me to assist me.
Also, I have heard some bad things about Brooklyn but have heard great things about Brooklyn Heights. Can you tell me why this is so much?Kelly wrote:

Brooklyn is not a bad place at all.
Sure, there are “bad” areas that you’d probably want to avoid, but plenty of good areas too!
Brooklyn Heights is very nice. I used to live there, on Hicks Street. There are lots of restaurants and stores, movie theater, bar, little cafes, etc. There are some beautiful homes, and it is a relatively clean, quiet area. The Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers what I think is the best view of Manhattan anywhere, and you can see the statue of liberty, too. Right “next to” Brooklyn Heights is an area called Cobble Hill which is also very nice and has lots of good shops, another movie theater, and this is where Smith Street is. Maybe you’ve heard about Smith Street? It’s one of the “up and coming” areas of Brooklyn…lots of new bars and restaurants opening and that kind of thing. There is a Macy’s in the area, in the Fulton Street Mall area. It’s a good place to live.

For instance, I wouldn't just wander around in a section called "East New York" or "Bedford-Stuyvesant"....when you turn on the news and hear what crimes have taken place in Brooklyn, unfortunately, this seems to be where they are. Safe areas: Park Slope, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Fort Greene, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights.
All of the boroughs (except maybe staten island) are very very very close to Manhattan. Super close. To say which is closest is hard, it depends on which area of manhattan you want to get to and from where in the particular borough you start out.

Sorry to keep bugging you, but you giving me a lot of good information.
I will be coming back up there in the summer-what months would your recommend?
Also, are there any hotels that you know of that are good and fairly reasonable. I really like to Paramount hotel in TS but the room is really really small. I know NYC is pressed for space, but I have stayed in the Parker Meridian hotel and it was much better but also more costly. Do you have any suggestions for me?
I would also like to be in a semi-central location so we can walk to a lot of attractions.

Unfortunately, because I live in NYC in my own little apartment, I haven’t stayed in many hotels in town. But, what you can do, is “search” in this forum. Up at the top of the list of questions and answers, you see the search function. Just click on it and search “hotels” and you will see all of the discussion that has already taken place and maybe you’ll find some good info there. A lot of people seem to recommend the Radisson Lexington Ave hotel, on the east side of manhattan. I don’t know the rooms, but it is in a good central location and I hear it is reasonably priced.
