From Forbes Traveler comes their list of the top 10 hotels in New York. Really, they're in Manhattan, as eight of these hotels are only minutes from Central Park. Of these, I've only stayed in one (at someone else's expense of course), and that was the Four Seasons. Like anything that luxurious, it was a wonderful hotel and a great experience - but I'd rather spend my own money on tourist activities exploring the Big Apple.

Yes, it's true - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has just announced a temporary increase in the city's hotel tax, by almost 1%. That brings the aggregate hotel tax to 14.25 percent, and an estimated $20 million extra tax revenue in 2009 and approximately $61 million in 2010. As for "temporary", the increase is in place until the end of 2011, or for nearly the next 3 years! To read more details, click here.

From the BBC is this interesting report on the growing volume of foreign buyers of New York real estate, especially in Manhattan. With the steady decline of the US dollar and spiraling property values, international investors are finding great building deals in New York City. Even some "trophy" properties are being bought by overseas purchasers, as well as popular icons like the Chrysler Building. The United States is definitely being sold away bit by bit.
