What Row NYC actually is
Row NYC opened in 1928 as the Hotel Lincoln and has been operating on Eighth Avenue ever since. With 1,331 rooms it is one of the largest hotels in the city, and the scale keeps rates low — this is the standard choice for theatre trips on a budget.
Rooms are compact and simply furnished, refreshed rather than luxurious, and City Kitchen on the ground floor is a food hall with a dozen vendors including Luke's Lobster and Dough. Port Authority is across the street and Times Square is one block east.

Where it sits
Loud, lit, and permanently busy. Nobody pretends Times Square is subtle, but it is unbeatable for theatre-first trips: most Broadway houses are inside a five-minute walk, and the 42nd Street transit hub reaches every borough.

Questions people ask about Row NYC
Are the rooms small?
Yes, they are compact and functional rather than generous. The pricing reflects this — it is a base for sleeping between shows and sightseeing.
Is Eighth Avenue safe?
This stretch is busy and well-lit at all hours given Port Authority is directly opposite. It is a working transit corridor rather than a quiet street.
