To Darrin Hudson: NYC HOTELS

About Me

Name: jeffstaple

Location: New York, New York, United States

I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

NYC HOTELS

I find people constantly asking me for good, affordable places to stay while visiting NYC. (I believe it's a cunning attempt to invite themselves to crash at my apt....um....keep tryin.) The New York Times recently listed the best places to stay in Manhattan for under $250 a night. While that's pretty ridiculous for any other part of the world, it's actually considered "affordable" here. Well, here's the list. Enjoy:

(alphabetical order)
1. Affinia Dumont
2. Chelsea Hotel
3. Doubletree Metropolitan
4. Excelsior Hotel
5. Gershwin Hotel
6. Hotel QT
7. Hotel Stanford
8. Hudson Hotel
9. Off SoHo Suites Hotel
10. The Time

*Pretty obvious one way these hotels save money is by not paying a web designer. I guess you can't judge a hotel by its home page?*
