Hotels/Motels NYC

I am planning a four day tour to NYC, durnig the coming thanksgiving weekend. I need advise in finding a hotel or a good motel during that period. Can some one suggest a place, which is near to Mosque ( Eid Prayer obviously) and good Halal Desi restaurants.

I would be coming from Boston, which does not have great deal of desi/Pakistani restaurents, so I really want to eat good Pakistani food from halwa puri to tikka boti :D…

Time is short, so all you new yorkers, do advise immediately. I am primarily looking for a safe neighbourhood which has decent hotels.
