We say half-hearted because there's no technology mentioned that gets us really excited about staying in a hotel room in the future.<p>For instance, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Plaza+Hotel/ian/183167"><b>Plaza Hotel</b></a> when it finally opens whenever that may be will use radio-frequency key-cards that can unlock your room door when swiped past the lock at close range. That's kinda cool. It can save us the frustration of trying to swipe a keycard thats been demagnetized against our knowledge.<p>There's also talk of creating a papercard which would look and work exactly like the plastic keycard, except it's more environmentally-friendly.

If Chinese New Year means the Far East... as in east of the Mississippi... NYC is the place to be. New York's Chinatown is the largest in the country, and with festivities that are "same-same but different" to San Fran's celebration.

If being near the festivities is paramount, we suggest you stay downtown in one of these Soho hotels:

Clarion Collection The Solita Soho Hotel
Soho Grand Hotel
Off Soho Suites
Holiday Inn Manhattan - Downtown/Soho
