New Cooper Square Hotel opens in my old New York backyard
The neighbors aren't too happy with the mezzanine bar & terrace....there's an elderly lady that hangs her dirty laundry on a clothes line and blows a whistle at people on the terrace....NYC charm!
While I lived on 6th St and 3rd Ave in New York, I saw many apartment buildings come down and make way for the new Cooper Square Hotel. The back window to my apartment had a perfect view of the construction.
It took years for the project to complete, and the hotel opened just months after I left New York.
One woman who lived in an apartment building on the hotel site refused to move, and they had to build around her.
The other neighbors were complaining loudly about the bars that would basically be in their backyards.
Now it's open, and apparently people aren't too happy about it.
Blowing whistles at people, I love it :)
