Below Central Park or in Times Square area. Also any tips to maximize points?

LGA is closest to lower Manhattan. EWR would be closer than JFK.

LGA is closest, but the biggest shit show. If you fly AA or Delta you are stuck with LGA and JFK, if you fly United EWR.

For Marriott hotels in midtown, the Times Square Edition is my favorite. Small rooms but it’s trendy and the service is exceptional. JW Essex house/Ritz/St Regis are great as well but mostly out of policy.

W, Westin. I also like courtyard Central Park on 54th street

There’s also a new Le Meridian opening that may be worth checking out. It’s opening in May and replacing the former Viceroy -

The Le Parker Meridian is no a Marriott but right next to it is the Viceroy which is in the process of converting to a Le Meridian. It will be called the Le Meridian Central Park. Kind of confusing.

If you can get a good price, the NY Edition is legit

Any B4 IAM consultants make the move to Accenture? How is the talent experience (employee apps for time & expense, expense/travel policies, well being subsidy, stock options, etc) compared to what you’d find at D or EY? How do you find the quality of projects, and your role as a SC (which I understand is just “Consultant” at Accenture)? Worth making the jump or do you miss B4 life?
