Hotel Networking in a Pod

The lack of living space in NYC can be a precarious thing.

You never know when a down-on-her-luck Lithuanian model who's fallen victim to a hotel reservation crisis needs to be put up for the night, while at the same time your friend visiting from out of town is taking up much of your precious square footage.

One might suggest the newest (and may we add, the most cost-effective) solution to this dilemma: The Pod Hotel.

Recently soft opened, The Pod Hotel (formerly the Pickwick Arms) has transformed its rooms into futuristic closets of luxury that cost you anywhere from $89 to $179, though prices can vary based on the season.

The "pods" come in different sizes varying from nostalgic bunk beds to twin double beds, but we recommend the "spacious" Queen rooms, which typically have a $169 price tag and the largest beds in the facility. And the in-room flat-screen LCD TV, free Wi-Fi and bedside iPod docking stations will perfectly complement nightly shower concerts under glorious rain-like showerheads.

With a roof-deck bar and lounge opening this spring and an "inter-Pod" social network in the works so you can see who's staying in the hotel ahead of time, you can rest easy knowing that your friend is in good hands.

Which frees you to carry out your social duty of rescuing homeless models everywhere.
