Look airbnb around Lincoln center area, best option in NYC to experience :)
If you're shopping hotels online look in the "theater district" that's fairly central location for lots going on (times square, theaters, restaurants and bars on 9th ave). Lincoln Center is a short cab or uber from there.
Marriott's south of central Park pits an Uber 20-30 minutes away
We were just there and stayed at the Hilton midtown on Avenue of the Americas at 53rd. Great central location!
