"It's a nursing home, pretty good as they go but not an ideal destination. Enjoy peaceful garden downstairs with purple flowers and water fountain."

"Go up to the education centre on the 5th floor late evening and enjoy the peace and beautiful light - like all the early SoHo artists in their loft studios along Bowery."

"Very good molasses cake. Coffee q strong but good."

"Maggie jones is at the ABC office on level 8 and is very helpful."

"Also no room service although there's a button on the phone to call room service which they should really take off."

"Get white anchovy bruschetta at bar outside studio theatre."
