Are you looking to live like a New Yorker while you visit the city? A friend just visited Manhattan and stayed at http://1015nyc.com/. They have five units right near Bryant Park in the heart of mid-town. There are 2 two bedroom suites, 2 one bedroom suites and 1 studio. The two bedroom units can sleep 6 in two queen beds and a queen sofa sleeper. The one bedroom sleeps 4 in a queen bed and a queen sofa sleeper. All have fully equipped kitchens and have been remodeled recently. The only downsides I see is are that it is a walk-up --- no elevators, and they have no luggage storage if your flight is much later than the 11 am checkout. Rates for the 2 bedroom range from $299 to $499, one bedroom $289 to $489 and studio. Although looking at their availability calendar online, there are some great mid week bargains to be had such as the 2 bedroom for $179 per night for a Monday/Tuesday in November.
