So, instead of spending Friday in a post-turkey food coma, you've decided to hit the streets of NYC to indulge in some Black Friday deals. You brave soul, you.

Luckily, one hotel in particular has your health (kinda) in mind, and is offering a tasting menu to help you fuel up mid-splurge. And it's conveniently located: the Paramount Hotel is right near Times Square but is a haven from the mayhem.

Here's what you'll find at the Library Bar on Friday, thanks to The Dalmore Distillery and the hotel's executive chef Mark Spangenthal...

(And in case you were wondering, the theater crowd in question had just seen Billy Elliot.) We hit up the hotel's Library Bar last weekend to celebrate a friend's birthdayand we have to say, at first we were surprised at the choice of venue. We simply had no idea who went to the Paramount these days. The celebs have moved onto <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Standard+NYC/local/795">The Standard</a> and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Jane+Hotel/local/923">The Jane</a>, and the hipsters to the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Ace+Hotel+New+York/local/1313">Ace Hotel</a>.

New York: Hotels Near Times Square :: RoomMate Grace is Kind of an Expensive Broad

juliana — 2008-07-16T11:07:12-05:00

RoomMate Grace Hotel, formerly the Hotel QT, had rooms going for $349 a night on Quikbook for Monday July 21st. Unless, they combined their notoriously small rooms into spacious suites, this is a totally bad rate.

Keep in mind that a "Petite" room is one of the smallest rooms in the hotel, starting at 170-sq.ft. We think it was probably an F Type room under the old QT system.

Granted, it's not a "Quad Bunk" but still for just $10 less we could have a real room at the Benjamin Hotel, scene of the Top Chef filming and complete with anti-insomnia weapons.

New York: Hotels Near Times Square :: The Night Hotel's 'Modern Gothic Gotham'

If you find yourself in New York City this summer with a need to stay near Times Square and without any desire to bask in the glow of the city lights (or you're just a hip and trendy jet-setting vampire), take a look at Vikram Chatwal's Night Hotel.

Situated on 45th Street in the heart of jean-shorted, fanny-packed tourist central, Night offers guests refuge from the technicolor visual craziness of the Times Square area--and they're serious about it. The place, intending to evoke "Modern Gothic Gotham", is decorated almost exclusively with blacks and whites.
