Fortunately, anything is possible in New York – even when it comes to finding affordable accommodation. As long as you compromise on quality or centrality. That said, some of the best bits of the city aren’t actually in the centre anyway, so don’t overspend to be near to Times Square because you really can have a great time anywhere.
