Dude, last time I was in the city we stumbled on a funky little place worth a visit. The Chelsea Hotel, is famous for putting up famous people like Bob Dylan and writers like Thomas Wolf. Stanley Kubrick wrote part of 2001 there. It was built in 1883, and they’ve kept the lobby intact. What makes it really interesting is the artwork from the edge. Crazy things hanging on the walls and on the ceiling, all over the place. It’s around 23rd street.
