Where you can REALLY view the river....
the hotel riverview.
hedwig and the angry inch housed here, so i hear. the origin of sketch =) the survivors of the titanic tradgety of 1912 also housed here... i bet THAT was a fun party! it's truely not a horrid place. it's got a bad rep tho. i've only been here 6 days, and i know that. i knew that before i moved here.
i'll tell you what, tho. it's right in the village. if you think of it more as a rooming house, and less like a hotel, you're ok. if you think of it as a hotel, and you are aware what married upper middle class men do in their spare time... it's a bit sketchy.
i'm hopefully over exagerating there. in all seriousness, the room is super big. it's got a beautiful view over looking a very green courtyard (i could do without it, since i just moved to the city... but it is very beautiful). there's more than one electrical outlet.. super cute and extensive closet space... and best of all... 2 seperate beds!!!!!!!!! yay!
i'm happy to have given up my squatter status... it's just not a pretty word, like lesbian, or fork.
we slept for like 2 hours last night, and we didn't even go out - it was supposed to be a quiet mellow night. rented "meet the fockers." if you haven't seen it yet - although, i'm pretty sure i was the only one who hadn't.... - do so! it's funny as hell.
i have to confess that the hotel riverview is kinda cool to me... there is a kinda poetic romanticizim about it... it whispers creation... besides the fact, that other than doing it this way, i'll probably never be aford to live anywhere this south in manhattan unless i stumble joyfully onto a rent control... infact, i'm checking out a reality group called NOMA - that's north manhattan... Washington Heights... which is - i think... around 175th? more on that later....
so... here i reside, at least until next sunday, on jane street... next to the hudson river in the west village cusp of the meat packing district in lower manhattan, new york county, new york state: NEW YORK CITY.
