Dawn - NJ
Count me in as another Jersey guy who would love to see Dawn (and others) come to NJ for a couple of days. There are so many hotel rooms in the Meadowlands area - only ten minutes from midtown Manhattan. They run the gamut from RedRoof Inn's to the ulta luxurious brand new Rennaissance (about 200.00 per night). With over 2000 rooms in a five square mile area, I'll say t the average room rate is around $99 - 149.00 - there are also several "suite" hotels.
As with all forms of entertainment, there will always be a hefty contingent of Jersey folk schlepping into Manhattan -but not neccessarily enjoying the rigors of getting in and out of the City. It is always a welcome pleasure when something comes to this side of the river.
For any of the other providers reading this, there are a lot of us Jersey guys who will support you if you stay in NJ. You will save a small fortune on your hotel bill, so you won't even have to see as many clients to pay down a $400.00 per night room or you won't have to have to levy a NYC surcharge to cover some of the highest expenses in the world.
This is not a slam of New York (it always will be the greatest) but merely an option for many providers that have no clue of its existance. I'll be happy to help anyone who needs advice.
Lets hear from more Jersey guys - maybe we can sway acouple if we are vocal enough. Candie, you are welcome to add your two cents also - as you established your little cottage industry here in NJ.
