A First Memory of NYC - New Yorker Hotel

My little walk down memory lane is on the New Yorker Hotel's blog. Thanks, New Yorker! For the 1960s hospitality and for the fun. This one's for you:

It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be with you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And I believed that I would stay forever
I would stay with you and share the laughter
With never ever a good-bye after
It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a short time, but such a good time 
such a good time — 

Ok, New Yorker, save me a tower room with a Empire State Building view.

Here's the link the the story, my Q&A with the New Yorker.

And, here's a bit of history:

The New Yorker hotel opened in 1930 and was the hospitality marvel of the day. It was the largest hotel NYC with 2,500 rooms. In addition to the many ballrooms, the Art Deco structure had ten private dining "salons," and five large restaurants employing 35 master cooks.

The barber shop was one of the largest in the world with 42 chairs and twenty manicurists.

At any given time at the New Yorker Hotel there were 92 telephone operators on duty and 150 laundry staff washing as many as 350,000 pieces daily.

When initially built the New Yorker Hotel had coal-fired steam boilers and generators sufficient to produce more than 2200 kilowatts of direct current electric power. At the time this was the largest private power plant in the United States. The hotel's own direct current generators were still in use during the Northeast Blackout of 1965.

[I have no affiliation with the hotel. I am, tho, a fan of good people, and great service, and The New Yorker. And, Nikola Tesla lived there for years. Is there any better recommendation?]
