the best western seaport hotel was “recommended” by new york magazine this past week in an article on “ranking seven hotels under $200 in nyc“.

this is “cool” because alison and i have certainly recommended the hotel to others — it is very close to our home.  my parents have stayed there…  we like the place — especially its location.  the rooms are a bit on the small side, but the seaport area is really up and coming and there is access to almost every subway line within five blocks.  plus, it is q-u-i-e-t down here so it is certainly a respite from the “city”.

this is “not cool” because…

we pay for a subscription to new york magazine.  i really hate the business model where print subscribers subsidize free online content.

we always considered the hotel kind of “our secret” — although, i am sure we did not fully believe it.

c’est la vie!
