<p>Does anyone have information on the best place to stay close to Pearl Studios for the 2012 Unified Auditions in NYC 2/4-2/5/12?</p>
<p>The New Yorker Hotel is just down and across the street. Excellent hotel without being over the top. Very helpful staff. You can usually find discounts on Kayak or Expedia. But I would look quickly! It also has the Tick Tock Diner on the first floor. It’s excellent, open all hours and has great prices! Across the street from subway entrance that takes you all over and quickly to Times Square for shows. Convenient to Starbucks, Subway, drugstores, etc.</p>
<p>We were stuck there for 4 days during the big September storm when I moved my daughter into NYU, so I know it well!</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip, Christie2! Now I can cancel the other hotel which would have had us trekking a good bit back and forth to Pearl and other studios.</p>
<p>You’re welcome, abparent! Any other way I can help, let me know! This will be a stressful but precious year for you. Treasure it! And my daughter, now at Steinhardt, is joining the crowd that says “you will end up where you’re supposed to!” So best of luck to you and your student!</p>
