We are visiting Marymount Manhattan College and Fordham University on a Thursday afternoon and NYU Tisch on a Friday.
We will be coming into either Penn or Grand Central. Looking for ideas on what area we should look to stay overnight?
We will be heading home after the Tisch tour. ANy suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you

@dramamama3 Personally, for just one night I would be checking AirBnB.

If you are coming in to Penn the Hilton Garden Inn that is just south of there is fine. Not as noisy as hotels N of Penn Stn and very close to subways that go up to MM or Fordham LC and down to NYU.

I would be inclined to stay somewhere up toward Marymount if that is your first visit. Maybe taxi between MM and Fordham on Thursda. Then subway down to NYU on Friday is pretty quick ride.
