Sounds like a place we stayed in south of the Loop in Chicago. We had a
contract to refinish some metal furniture for Michael Reese Hospital,
needed somewhere close to stay and got rooms at the New Michigan Hotel -
corner of Michigan and 22nd St. The New Michigan was originally the
Lexington, famous (or infamous) as being Al Capone's headquarters/home.
Room cost in 1965 - $3.00/night.
More info on the history of the Lexington here...

Do you go to Herald Square - I saw a lot of movies there in the 50's& 60's.
Not if I can avoid it. It's a zoo - and not in a good way :-)
The only thing that gets me anywhere near is if need to go to B&H.
(I catch the PATH at 9th street and 6th ave to get to NJ)
When I first moved to NY, I lived in a transient hotel on 35th street, just a
few doors off Broadway. My roommates were of the grey, furry variety. I used to
go to Macy's and hang, because it was a good 20 degrees warmer than my room. I
lived on chinese fast food and cheap pizza. Hunan chicken, fried rice and an
egg roll sold for less than five bucks at the joint on the corner of 35th and
Broadway.

So thanks to the guys in order that I saw the posts to Tim, Dan, Paul, Jeff,
Jack, Ken, John and Steve !
As to what I was doing in Hoboken... you may regret wondering ...
about once a month or sometimes more I go out to the Pavonia Newport area of
Jersey City to shop .. There is
a Target there, the tax on no food is less than NY, it is actually a cheaper
trip for me on the PATH train than
going anyhwere in NYC. There is also a great Salvation ARmy Thrift ... all
walking distance from the
Pavornia Newport stop on the PATH...
However .... there are two PATH trains.. and I got on the wrong one. I used to
go to HOboken to get a train
to go upstate to a friends house... this time I just wasn't noticing that I got
on the HOboken train and not
the JERsey CIty one.
That was earlier in the afternoon... Hoboken and JErsey City are right next to
each other and there is a
thing called the light rail that goes from that station to the big shopping
mall near where my stores are
9I could have stayed underground and just gotten on another PATH but it was a
nice day sooooo..
I hopped on the light rail... THEN as I was shooting the Manhattan skyline from
the elevated train I noticed a
people walking along the river and damned if they weren't following a real path
that went between the two locations.
After I shopped I found the walkway and went back to Hoboken to come back into
NY . By now it is golden light time.
and, as you see, it was golden. The station is old and very beautiful inside
and part of the outside. It is also a terminal
for a ferry that goes across to the financial district but it is a bit beyond
my budget.
and thats, as Paul Harvey would have said... "the rest of the story"
