If you're a military retiree or reservist, the Soldier's, Sailor's, Airman's, & Marine's Club ($ varies according to rank) in Manhattan can't be beat. Otherwise, I recommend one of the crashpads you'll find listed on the bulletin board in the pilot's lounge.

My favorite is Crash Pad Oasis (crashpadoasis.com) ($50), but I don't know whether they've yet fixed all the water damage they sustained from a 3rd-floor flood a while back. It's one subway stop away from Jamaica Station.

My second-favorite is Lyle's Crash Pad ($40). It's in a sketchy neighborhood, but Lyle picks you up and drops you off at the airport; and it's nice inside. Just order delivery. Lyle got hired by a commuter airline a while back, so I'm not sure whether he still picks you up. You can pm me for the number.

There's someone named Jill who rents mostly to flight attendants at $25/night. It's a decent neighborhood, and I thought it was a good deal until I had to sit through a Kardashians marathon one Christmas day. Never again. I don't happen to have Jill's number anymore, but someone will.

No-Hassle Castle rents by the month. It was $250 when I used it, and it was a nice place in a decent neighborhood. I don't have the number, but there'll be a flyer in the lounge.

If you're coming off a redeye and are going out again that night, the 5 Towns Hotel rents day-rooms at $50. They pick you up. 516.371.2600.

I hope this helps, and welcome to New York!
The Oasis is back open. The No Hassle Castle is also known as the No Heat Retreat.
