"We are Novotel fans and have been for more than a decade. We were first referred there by Arthur Frommer himself when we were looking for a good place to stay for the Macy’s Parade. Turns out that it’s a nice hotel right in the theater district, across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theatre. Even better, it’s a great place to view the parade-you get special access to their balcony and get to view the whole thing at balloon height. The cafe is spacious and relaxing, and a pianist often livens up the atmosphere. There’s also a small playroom for kids under 5."
