Lodging

Per Michael Piasecki, our host, The Towers option is not available, unfortunately (3/20/2014). Here are alternative suggestions from Michael:

W Hotel New York which is our hotel in which we reserved blocks of rooms.

There is also a Days Inn (this is not in Harlem - it is on Broadway on the Upper West Side - subway Line 1)
215 West 94th Street, New York, NY ‎
