I'd try either The Paramount or On the Ave Hotel. They're both nice and should be well within your price range.
I ruled out the Paramount when I read a number of reviews that said the rooms were shitty. Thanks for the suggestions though. I'll have to look into On the Ave.
Have you tried the Plaza or the Pierre? They are obviously both quite expensive, but perhaps you could find a special deal to bring it within your budget. And there are both historic and in a wonderful area right on Central Park.

While either would be amazing, sadly it is not meant to be. The cheaper of the two is coming in at $695/night.
The Casablanca is our pick! They have a nice cont. breakfast, capaccino/espresso machine, afternoon tea & cookies, & free wine & cheese. The staff is awesome!!
What about Paramount Hotel by Ian Schrager? From what I hear, it's very modern and very cool.
May those who love us love us. And for those who don't, may God turn their hearts. And if not, may God turn their ankles so we'll know them by their limping.

I read some negative reviews of it and when I checked out the rooms online it was a bit more Ikea than I typically like. Sadly, I think the Ian Schrager hotels just aren't my cup of tea as I'm not particularly fond of the Clift in SF either.
Has anyone ever stayed at the Park Central Hotel? Their website looks okay and they have basically decent reviews across the board. I found a package staying there that's in the cheaper end of our budget, but something just isn't clicking for me (it's like I am incapable of forming an opinion on the place either way).
Other ones that are coming up in our price range include:
We go to NYC every December and try to stay in a different neighborhood. While most other years we stayed at chains, this year we're staying at the Inn on 23rd, a B&B in Chelsea. I've read great reviews on the inn and it's very close to a subway line (I forget which one). We also only paid $229/night, which is a steal this time of year.
