And, apparently, turtles. According to an article in the current New Yorker, hotelier <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/eric%20goode">Eric Goode</a> is a major herpetophileor, in English, a reptile geekand has been collecting turtles since he was a little boy.

There, he recreates the turtles' natural habitat, quarantines newcomers, and even has workers whip up a special "chelonean carnivore gelatine" for them to eat. Yuk! Though the New Yorker claims that Goode is alternating between two parallel lives,

Happy Holidays from The Maritime from Maritime Hotel on Vimeo.

Have you covered your refrigerator or mantelpiece in Christmas cards sent by the friends and family yet? We haven't either, and do you know why? It's because everyone is going e-card this year, and a great example of how to do a mass virtual holiday greeting right is the above cute video, from hoteliers Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson and their Maritime Hotel. Also, it involved Legos, so you know nothing can be wrong with that.

New York: Basquiat Lives On at the Maritime Hotel

If you’ve stayed at the Maritime Hotel in New York, you probably noticed the blocks of yellow spines on the suite’s bookshelves—full sets of National Geographic magazines. But they’re not just there to look pretty, or because hotelier Eric Goode snagged them on the cheap from some yard sale. Oh no, there’s actually a much more earnest reason behind the reading material.

Goode’s mother was a conservationist and when he was growing up she had every issue of National Geographic ever printed. Goode is also a turtle nut, and has long had a thing for nature. His ’80s nightclub, Area, even had natural history exhibits featuring live bats and sharks.

No, this is not a set from "The Darjeeling Limited." It's Sean and Eric's new hotel!

As we all know The Hotel Riverview has been undergoing renovations to transform the place from old-timey mariners' boarding house to a sleek new boutique hotel from hoteliers Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode.

And last we heard the hotel was going to be a sort of Japanese-style love hotel for New York. Which turns out to be somewhat true.

Here are the exclusive inside pics of what will be called The Jane Hotel, where 50-sq.ft. rooms will start at the unheard-of-for-NYC budget price of $99.

Know Your Manhattan Hoteliers

Ask and you shall receive. In a story the other week about the possible cold war thaw between feuding hoteliers Gregory Peck and Matt Moss (actually, that was just wishful thinking. The frenemy war rages on still), we asked for a copy of the Page Six magazine featuring some of NYC's hottest hoteliers.

And a kind soul sent us a copy!

In it, you see Jason Pomeranc (with ever-present arm candy/fashion publicist/girlfriend Ali Wise), Matt Moss and Greg Peck (totally did not pose together), scary Sean MacPherson and partner Eric Goode, the ever-dapper Andre Balazs, grunge hotelier Alex Calderwood of the Ace Hotel brand and chefs/restauaranteurs Todd English and Ken Friedman.
