The last time we went to NYC, we stayed in a B & B for several reasons....first was that there were no hotels close to my daughter's apartment in Brooklyn and we wanted to be close and secondly, we basically took the whole B & B for ourselves, there were 5 of us adults (it was half of an old Victorian) at a much cheaper rate than 3 hotel rooms in Manhattan.  It was very nice and the owner provided various items for breakfast (basically whatever we asked for).  It was so nice, I would do it again, anytime.
