A 'Chic' Hotel on Box Street

New York Shitty has some fun with the discovery that a hotel is operating out of an industrial property on Box Street next to the Pulaski Bridge, and notes the hotel website’s characterization of the surrounding area as “chic”: “I have lived in Greenpoint for over 11 years now. I honestly did not know this area (which is a used-condom’s toss from the Newtown Creek Waste Water treatment Facility) constituted ‘chic’. Obviously I am way behind the times.” Rates at the Box House Hotel run $500 for a three-night stay in the “standard suite.”
