[edit] Mid-Range Hotels?
Are $400/night rooms "mid-range," even in the Theater District? If so, what's a "splurge"? I find this especially odd, seeing that restaurants where you can get a meal for as little as $10 are listed as "Mid-Range," too. I would think of Grand Sichuan and probably Ariana, too, as "budget" restaurants, which in New York essentially means anything around $25 for dinner or less. $5 for dinner is another category: Really cheap. Mid-range for dinner to me would be in the $40s and $50s per person.

- No, you're definately correct. $400 a night is a splurge. NYC is an expensive city, but it is possible to reserve rooms between $100 - $200 and I would consider that Mid-range, especially for NYC. Go ahead and change that. Also, Michael do you have an account?

- I moved 2 of the hotels to splurge. I kept the HGI as mid-range, because it's generally less expensive than some of the mid-range places. I put the Carnegie Deli and Vice Versa as mid-range. As for the Carnegie Deli, any place that sells $20 sandwiches doesn't seem "budget" to me -- you can definitely do cheaper in that neighborhood. At Vice Versa, a meal for two (w/o wine) came to $75, which again doesn't qualify as budget. The $10 items are available for the penny-pincher, but I think the category should be based on the typical meal, not the low end of the range. —The preceding comment was added by Jonboy (talk • contribs)
- The typical meal cost at Grand Sichuan is $20-25 for lunch or dinner. I consider that cheap, especially given the quality and quantity of the food.
