I am planning to visit New York in July for 1 week. Appreciate recommendation for a hotel.

Prefer hotel in an activity area with restaurants, shopping etc and not too far from usual sights. Budget about $ 100-150 for a double.

This is my second trip but yet to know the city.

Thinking of taking opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. No idea at how far from NY.

Is it possible to do a day trip or just an overnight. By air or road ???

Cheers
