<p>We had unseasonably warm, beautiful weather for at least one day during the extended weekend last year (I walked the High Line that day). We stayed at the Wellington, where we found a suite for well under $200 per night. It is a hike from Pearl and that other studio across the street (where DePaul conducted auditions), but it was quite close to the BU audition site, and a short walk from Fordham-Lincoln Center. It is a much more convenient, central neighborhood, but I can’t promise you that the same deal will be in effect. There was a bedroom with a double bed, and a living room with both a double bed and a convertible sofa. There was enough room for an extra cot, when my son’s friend spent the night (along with parents and second son). There is a subway station right downstairs.</p>
