Bargain Time: New York City for the Holiday Season
The Big Apple is huge fun to visit with kids, but expensive; so it's good to know about Apple Core Hotels, well-priced properties in central Manhattan. Bargain rates for the Holiday Season are starting at $149.99 per night, and that includes -- as standard policy- complimentary breakfasts and free long-distance calls. (Read more below.)
New York has dazzling Holiday Season festivities: famous holiday windows; ice-skating at Rockefeller Center; holiday shows including a special family production, Wintuk, by Cirque de Soleil... and much more.

I really wish I knew about the Apple Core Hotels before I planned my trip. Luckily, my good friend lives in Long Beach (not too far from NYC) and he graciously invited us to stay at his place.
Being from NY, I highly recommend having an itinerary when in NYC with kids. Do all the touristy stuff (we’re going to the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, etc. and seeing Wintuk) and tour neighborhoods like Chinatown, Little Italy, The Village, Times Square, etc.
