Keep trying priceline and hotwire; you should be able to
find something under $150. However, be prepared to accept a
"boutique" room at that price in New York.
"Boutique" translates to a large bed but a tiny room, with
barely enough space around the bed to get around it.
I stayed in that type of room for a little over $111 per
night in the Paramount in 2006 and $117 (incl taxes)at the
Clarion Gem last month.
One problem with priceline and hotwire may be the 7 days, as
the hotels may have higher rates for one or two nights in a
week that excludes them from a week-long booking. It may be
worth selecting some of the cheaper 2.5* and 3* hotels in
the district you want on Expedia and contacting them direct
by email to see if they will offer a discount for a
week-long stay.
