Accomodation
Here are some hotels in Manhattan within walking distance or a short subway ride to Eyebeam. Although we canโt specifically recommend them because we havenโt checked them out in person, this list should get you started. We also recommend checking the regular search engines (kayak.com, expedia.com, etc.) for good prices. In addition to the hotels/hostels listed below, you can also check out Airbnb which is a relatively new service that allows you to rent rooms or apartments. If you’re also going to Maker Faire, check out their hotel blocks here.
