I would let you crash at my place to save you some dough, but I am at the mercy of wind right now. but if expensive hotel rooms are not your thing .. look for HOSTELS in manhattan .. $25 dollars a night, they have huge shared rooms, a total tourist experience.

I say you should do it even if you have all kinds of dough and save the cake to get baked, if you know what I mean
