I was wondering if you could help me out? I have now started planning to visit New York and have been looking at some hotel reviews (in the link http://www.expedia.co.uk/destinations/north%20america/united%20states/New%20York.aspx). They are quite useful but some mixed thoughts. Can anyone recommend anywhere to stay near the center? Thanks Chris Nice article. I was wondering if you could help me out?

Has anyone been following the 1 Hotel One & Residences proposed for 20 W 40 St. across from the Main Library and Bryant Park? While claiming to be a “completely green” hotel and marketing the fact that the new tower will be “certified LEED Silver” the truth is that this REALLY big building (32 stories!!) will be wedged into a lot next to Bryant Park. The building would be on the east end of the block, across from the library but the shadows will stretch as far as the fountain in the park near 6th Ave. That is a shadow that stretches nearly a whole long block. In order for this behemoth to be built, the developer will need a special permit because the daylight evaluation is well below the allowed zoning regulations. What’s worse -- this “green” hotel did not even conduct a full environmental impact study to determine exactly how this new structure will impact the park and surrounding community. This project is currently being reviewed by the Planning Commission. If you enjoy Bryant Park and don’t want to see the park “go dark”, please click on the link to the planning commission comment page below and let them know how you feel. http://nyc.gov/html/mail/html/maildcp.html BRYANT PARK IN DANGER OF GOING DARK!
