Download the MTA app or use Google Maps for real-time subway arrival times — it saves minutes at every station.
Most Midtown hotels charge $40–70/night for parking. The subway covers the whole city, so consider skipping the car entirely.
Ask the concierge about restaurant partnerships — many NYC hotels hold reserved tables at popular spots.
Hotel minibar water in NYC costs $5–8 a bottle. A nearby bodega or deli sells the same for $1.
If your room faces a busy avenue, call the front desk and ask for a higher floor or courtyard-facing room. Street noise is real.
