Staying like a local in NYC The 22-room Chelsea Lodge in New York City lets travelers play the let's-pretend-we're-locals game. From the street, the renovated Greek Revival townhouse gives no indication of being an inn. Cheap by New York standards, the inn in the historic Chelsea district fans the flames of budget-mindedness. Its four large suites (starting at $229 a night) come with kitchenettes, futon couches and private bathrooms; the regular rooms (starting at $124) share toilets (318 W. 20th St.; 1-800-373-1116; www.chelsealodge.com).
