new york at starbucks

My hotel has no door on the shower. This means that to take a shower is to wake up John Moen, whose sleep is precious. It also means showering in full view of him, which is OK, but come on. It also means getting water all over the floor that you step on on the way to the bathroom. So we will apparently be tracking water everywhere.

The kicker is that this door is missing on purpose. It was designed that way. The theme of this hotel, I've decided, is voyeurism. Vice magazine in the room. When you walk in the front lobby, the first thing you see is the pool (open 24 hours) behind glass. Weird.
