☞ SLEEP: Mount Morris House

For those who cannot fathom shacking visiting relatives up in a dingy mid-town hotel, this bed and breakfast housed in an 1888 Romanesque mansion might be a good choice. The Mount Morris House is located right off of Mount Morris Park by the historic district and is one of the nicer places in the city to stay on a budget. Unlike many other boarding houses (that's you, Jane Hotel), this Inn has private bathrooms for each guest room. Rates are a steal (for NYC, at least) at around $200 per night and less on off seasons. Quick walking distance to express trains on 125th Street, so get anywhere in Manhattan in fifteen minutes. www.mountmorrishouse.com
