I am also on backpage, but am curious if anyone has suggestions.
Thank you so much for your time!

For the price you pay, your ad is off the page in a matter of hours. Use TER, P411, Date-Check, etc. I would not use Eros because it is like 300 bucks for a VIP ad, which you would need to even get noticed. That is a hard area to tour. My advice is also visit Stamford CT. which is only 45 min. away from the city and you can get there by train. What you don't make in NYC, you will make up in Stamford, and the hotels are about a third of what you will have to pay in NYC. For Stamford, City Vibe and BP are ok to use.

On Friday/Saturday nights the hotels that cater to corporate customers go for under $100/night at a number of three+ star hotels in lower Fairfield County.  (PM me for details if you wish)
