The head of the Social Science Reference Section here at New York 
University has compiled this list of reasonably-priced hotels in New 
York City.  I am not personally endorsing any of these hotels since I 
have only staid in two of the many listed.  You should contact your 
travel agent for more information. If you have any questions,
though, I will be happy to at least try to answer them for you!
     
Hope to see lots of you in New York!
