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 (WT-en) 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.

Removed listings

The URL in this hotel listing is broken, and a Google search isn't turning up much. I'm not sure it is still in business:

This one is "temporarily" shut down. I guess we'll see how temporary that is: (WT-en) Eco84 12:27, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

Guide Status?

I think this article should be upgraded to guide status. (WT-en) Sumone10154 17:35, 17 January 2011 (EST)

It's close, but I would like to see some overview paragraphs for "See", "Do", "Buy", "Drink", and "Sleep". (WT-en) LtPowers 09:35, 18 January 2011 (EST)

Is it mandatory for sections to have overview paragraphs to become guide status? I noticed several other guide articles that are missing alot of them (such as Manhattan/East Village and San Francisco/The Avenues. (WT-en) Sumone10154 13:13, 18 January 2011 (EST)

No, I don't think it's mandatory, but it's something I'd like to see versus a plain list, especially for "See" and "Do". (WT-en) LtPowers 15:24, 18 January 2011 (EST)

I still think this deserves to be a guide. Can anyone else comment? (WT-en) Sumone10154 15:35, 20 January 2011 (EST)

I'll have to demur. The most important component of guide status is completeness. The Theater District is a big section of the most dense and wealthy urban area in the country, and this article doesn't have a single restaurant in the splurge category! While this is not the part of the city I am most familiar with, my strong hunch is that the eat and drink sections (and likely buy as well) are very underdeveloped. --(WT-en) Peter ^Talk 23:26, 22 January 2011 (EST)

Am I missing something here, or is there only one Broadway theater listed? LtPowers (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Price ranges for restaurants

What price ranges should we consider to be "Budget", "Mid-range" and "Splurge" in the Theater District? I think Wondee is budget, but I'd like to know because I want to add a few more places, and I consider Lard Ubol to be budget, Yakitori Totto to be mid-range and Yakitori Tori Shin to be splurge. I'll try to get the name of the excellent Sichuan (?) noodle place in the low 50s on 9th, too, which is definitely a budget place.

I would suggest that in Midtown (including the Theater District), up to $25 for a meal is budget, $25-75 is mid-range and above $75 is splurge. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:17, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

The map is wrong

As every New Yorker knows, Midtown goes up to 59 St. only. Can we please eliminate the extra area north of Columbus Circle? How do we do it? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

That is, the dynamic map is wrong. Shall we delete the dynamic map or fix it? Those are IMO the two choices. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:02, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

I prefer to not lose the dynamic map, but beyond the Columbus problem, a huge chunk of MIdtown West is in gray. I've hidden the mapshape template for the time being. Nelson Ricardo (talk) 23:48, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
