^ The rack rate at Bellevue is even higher, unless your insurance pays for that 72 hour hold. Best to chew the leather in Park Slope...at least they cover it up there and don't require you to swallow your meds before TV time.

$457 a night in a Brooklyn Holiday Inn ! If you told someone 10 or even 5 years ago that in 2008 a hotel in Brooklyn would try to charge that rate, they would send you to Bellevue.

Friends of mine on their honeymoon had a problems with stewards barging into thier cabin, as early as 4 am, supposedly to clean. They kept reporting it, but it kept happening. They hung a Do not Disturb sign on the door, and when that didn't work, they stuck thier suitcases against the door. Sure enough, the next morning, they were awakened by someone unlocking the door, and pushing it open, even though they must have felt the weight of the suitcases. Hubby ran to the door, ready to club the steward with a shoe, and the steward reported HIM for attempted assault! The steward, they were told, was fired, but what about the other 2 guys who tried getting into their cabin? Suddenly, they had alibis, "witnesses" who said they were either still asleep, or at a crew breakfast before work started. My friends wished they had the foresight to sit by the door all night, with a camera.

"A NYC woman is claiming that ill-mannered passengers and staff ruined her vacation cruise because they insisted on sexually groping her." In Article: "Carter (Her Boyfriend), an aspiring novelist..., was videotaping and said he captured the harassment." Way to Man Up Carter and protect your Girlfriend from getting Groped. Best to tape it instead!

Was the 38-year old man sentences because he opened fire or because he was dating a 3-year-old?
