We realize that New York City hotels tend
to be expensive and hope that all
participants will be able to find a
comfortable place to stay regardless of the
size of their budgets. Here are the two
options we can offer:
1. Holiday Inn Soho-Downtown
Manhattan
We have reserved a block of 50 rooms
at the Holiday Inn Soho-Downtown
Manhattan, located near Soho, Chinatown,
and Little Italy, and a short subway
ride away from the conference location.
However, these rooms will only be
held through March 5 at this rate, so
act fast if you are interested.
The Holiday Inn has given us a rate
of $189 for a single or double room, and
$209 for a triple or quad room for the
nights of April 19-22, 2006.
To reserve a room, call 212-966-8898.
When calling, make sure to mention that
you are associated with the Society for
the Anthropology of North America.

Inn Downtown see this web link:

following web links to book rooms at a
