Where to Stay

A couple of my go-to spots right in the middle of the action.

Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square

A modern stay with the lobby lifted up to the 11th floor, above the Midtown noise. Broadway, Times Square, and Radio City Music Hall are all walkable from the front door.

Margaritaville Resort Times Square

A tropical-themed resort right in Times Square, with the 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar on the 31st and 32nd floors for skyline views with an island twist.
