New York, New York! It's a wonderful town all year long, but something magical happens when the city dresses up for the holiday season. If you're planning on hitting the City in December, remember to use recession travel rule no. 11 and snag CVB coupons before you go. When we checked out the "Special Offers" section at NYC & Company, the city's official marketing and tourism site, we found 16 pages of print-out coupons for hotels, restaurants, shopping, and attractions. Here's a sample of lodging deals for families:

20% off at Doubletree Guest Suites Time Square (Midtown West)
20% off at Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel (Upper East)
20% off at Hilton Garden Inn Times Square (Midtown West)
20% off at Embassy Suites Hotel New York (Downtown)
