Looking at Travelocity, Times Square hotels are under $200 a night for July 4th week. Thats insane.

Well, most people get out of this city during that holiday weekend. It’s usually insufferable.

Folks getting out of the city aren't the ones booking hotel rooms in the city.

I don’t think New Yorkers are the ones booking hotels… unless you’re referring to tourists?

Anyway, look at any site for Manhattan hotels during a random weekend or weekday this summer and the rates are dirt cheap compared to what they usually are.

It's actually looking cheaper to spend a long weekend in NYC this summer than heading down the Jersey shore.

I was just down in Cape May, NJ last weekend. Almost every hotel & restaurant has a "help wanted" sign in their window(foreign students usually come over in the summer for work). The owners of the hotel we stayed at say bookings are down 40% from last year and their usual influx of Canadians hasn't booked anything this summer.

No surprise there. Not sure who would want to come to this idiot country right now.
