But the celebrations aren't over yet. The city of New York will throw a traditional ticker tape parade to honor the athletes tomorrow in downtown New York. The official route: <blockquote> The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at Broadway at Battery Place and proceed northbound up the fabled Canyon of Heroes to City Hall, at Chambers St. At City Hall, the Yankees will be presented with Keys to the City at 1 p.m. by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.</blockquote>You don't need a hotel room to watch the parade juliana 2009-11-05T15:40:26-05:00 There's Plenty of Room in Manhattan For the Fourth of July http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/7/1/174122/1116 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/acehotelNYC_sign.jpg" class="top"> If you're up in the Northeast and you're still thinking about a quickie vacay for the Fourth, we've got pretty good news for you: there's plenty of room at the inn. Or, like, all the inns. And they're pretty decently cheap, too. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gild+Hall/local/869">Gild Hall</a> (though they charge egregious amounts of money for lame Internet connections) is right down by the seaport and since you shouldn't be working on a holiday weekend anyway, you shouldn't need the WiFi. A quick look <a href="http://www.quikbook.com/getprofile.asp?Code=3874">on Quikbook </a>shows that it's going for $136 a night (which is not bad) if you book the nights of the 3rd, 4th and 5th. Meanwhile, if you're down for being one of the Jenna 2009-07-01T17:51:25-05:00 Gild Hall Now Charging $10 for Practically Dial-Up Internet Speeds http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/7/1/134912/3679 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/gildhallwifi.jpg" class="top"> Yikes. We stumbled upon this shot on Flickr and were not pleased to lay our eyes upon it though we were grateful that our own WiFi connections were, um, at least fast enough to load Flickr in a timely fashion. This is a screenshot from guest <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/evoque/3531843881/">evoque</a>, who apparently stayed at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gild+Hall/local/869">Gild Hall</a> and had to fork over a 10-er in order to connect to the WiFi network. At a speed of 512k. Slow. Lame. Boo. The caption on the shot reads: <blockquote>$10/day for a blazing 512k/512k WiFi connection it's more Internet side road than Internet superhighway.</blockquote> And we all know that people who are down with clever wordplay deserve faster WiFi, right?

Call it poor planning, a genetic pre-disposition, procrastination or absent-mindedness, but that's just what we do. So last Tuesday, we were surfing around <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/hotwire">Hotwire</a> to find a hotel room in New York for the following night. We took a chance on the site's blind booking process--otherwise known as hotel roulette--and after doing extensive research on BetterBidding.com, we were confident that our four-star hotel in downtown was <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gild+Hall/local/869">Gild Hall.</a> And we were right. Even though we could have booked online at the Thompson Hotels website for about $10 more, it was more fun to do the Hotwire thing.
