[Police] Who's going to NY?

OK, Finally got the go ahead to go, just got my e-mail from ticketbastard that they're printing the tickets ... next up, flights, hotels, etc. As I've always driven to the shows (easier when I was in Boston!) I haven't done the logistical thing. Can we infiltrate a hotel and get a block of rooms (maybe a discount along with a number of rooms)? Any of you New Yorkers have any suggestions as far as where to stay that's convenient to both the Today show gig and the Hammerstein? Is Laguardia the easiest airport to fly into? Any help, much appreciated! Michelle
