Cheap hotels in Times Square-Theater District, New York
Welcome to New York! Midtown West is a sort of tourist-heaven, filled with big sights, theaters, photo ops... and hotels. Stretching west from Fifth Avenue to Eighth Avenue and north from 37th Street to 55th Street, the Theater District (and "Midtown West") is not only home to all the Broadway babies, but to Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Bryant Park and the Museum of Modern Art.
And then there's Times Square—an entity within itself. Although most New Yorkers steer clear of this congested area, the neon lights, larger-than-life billboards, and wise-talking street vendors keep the visitors coming. (Related: Read our guide to saving on theater tickets in New York.)
