Tonight's NYC hotel price check: $90 to $895

HotelChatter.com today notes that rates at Robert DeNiro's new Greenwich Hotel have dropped to $550 a night, and that seemed like a good enough excuse to see what other NYC hotels are currently offering for tonight.

The Plaza, despite the fact that some publications are still bantying-on about that $1,000-a-night rate, actually has rooms from $755 tonight. (While there, you can hit up the newly opened Rose Club restaurant for the likes of a $21 pomegranate and cucumber mojito, the $34 Angus beef burger and the $17 chocolate pot de creme. For more practical: there's a $45 prix fixe menu.)

Nearby, the Ritz-Carlton Central Park has rooms from $895 tonight.

The Radisson on Lexington has a "hot deal" for $179.

Kimpton's Muse Hotel rates for tonight start at $539.

The bookophile-friendly Library Hotel has a bed from $489.

The once-budget Hotel QT has rooms just off Times Square from $339 tonight.

The normally-budget Pod Hotel has nothing less than $239 a night. (All hotel rates for this feature are what's listed on the hotel's own website, except for the Pod because the online reservation system won't accept bookings unless the arrival date is about a week out.)

Even the Carter Hotel -- which TripAdvisor.com called the dirtiest hotel in America -- has nothing less than $116 for tonight.

In Brooklyn, the Hotel Le Jolie in Williamsburg will put you up for $219 tonight.

The Hilton Garden Inn on Staten Island, which has an indoor heated pool, starts at $225.

And then there's the 45-room Howard Johnson in the Bronx, which the New York Times features today. That's $90 for tonight - including free wi-fi.
