Do they have an actual buffet (and if so, do you know how much it is?) or is it the $/pound prepared food?
No buffet. Strictly by the pound.

immersion heater
turns out that you can buy more than timeshares on ebay
we were up at 3 am to prepare breakfast to be served at 6. Good SOS takes time. Part of our prep work was lighting 4 immersion heaters. (prewash, wash, second wash, and rinse). I enjoyed showing a new cook how to light one. There was always a someone walking around with no hair on his arm, and sometimes no eyebrows. And the explosion would wake the troop a little early for breakfast.
I hear you can heat a swimming pool with these hot water heaters.
As a followup...
I reviewed the information book they provide in the room, and it says nothing in there about crock pots or cooking devices not being allowed. I also looked over the confirmation emails, RCI pages, Manhattan Club web site, etc. Nothing.
I also found the current NYC Fire Code online. It's 640 pages, so I haven't read it, but searching on key phrases I can't find anything about hotels, crock pots, etc. It talks some about portable cooking devices, but Section 902.1 defines that as commercial equipment provided or installed with wheels. Section 2404.15 talks about heating & cooking equipment, but doesn't prohibit it.
As I reported in a previous post, I bought a glass cooking dish to do microwave versions of the two crock pot meals we were planning on cooking/eating in the room. We did the first one last night (lasagna) and it turned out really good. We'll be doing the other microwave meal tonight, and I suspect it'll turn out good as well.
We check out tomorrow morning. I'm going to go ask for my crock pot back this evening, so we can pack it up. We usually do most of our packing the evening before. If they give me grief about it, I'll go up to the business center, print the 640 page Fire Code, and ask them to show me the page where it's prohibited.
Two units (1BR + Studio). Only a few here are connecting, and we were lucky enough to get a pair.By the way, how did you pack your whole family in this place? and who got the sofa beds? I understand that they arent very comfortable.

I'm not sure how the sofa beds are, but the beds aren't very comfortable either. I like/need a firm bed, but these are too firm even for me.

We have stayed at the MC. I thought the bed was fine, but the sofa bed was terrible. The mattress was not thick enough--I could feel the metal supports thru the mattress. Probably fine for kids but not for adults. I was very disappointed since MC charges so much for its rooms. We were there on an exchange before RCI changed to TPUs.
We enjoyed our stay at the Manhattan Club but we were very surprised to find that, not only is there no stove, but there was not even a toaster. There was a small coffee pot and a microwave. This was in the 1BR. There is a breakfast buffet in the lounge but it was pretty expensive. We ate a lot of cereal. .....
Does MC not charge the $30/day fee if you go through SFX? We got around the fee by going to an 1 1/2 hour presentation - it really was less than 1 1/2 hours. Saved $210 but you do have to negotiate it....
PS. But use SFX next time for MC.
We went to Walmart and bought a George Foreman grill. Used it in the bathroom with the fan running.

My guess is that it has to do with insurance.I doubt it's really against the NYC fire code. I'm guessing it's just Manhattan Club policy or something to do with their insurance. It's always easier to say it's not in their control than admit it's their own rule.
My wife and I stayed at the Residence Inn Times Square 2 years ago and they actually supplied a crock pot in the room.
I'd make sure RCI hears about your experience.
Of course I knew, but I wanted to carry the joke a little farther. And the fact is that there are a lot of things that werent there when we were kids.
