I stayed in this hotel in 2005. Is the constant sound of car horns 24 hours a day caused by the area or is that all of Manhattan?

That's pretty normal throughout much of Manhattan. Depending upon how they face and how high you are some rooms will be quieter than others. But, yeah, much of Manhattan is a pretty noisy city.

57th is loud because it's a two way street, and a lot of emergency traffic uses it
