CNET 'Craves' Nintendo Wii At the Gansevoort Penthouse

Where: 18 9th Avenue [map], New York, ny, United States, 10014

A lucky CNET reviewer Caroline McCarthy was able to test out the Wii consoles for rent at the Hotel Gansevoort's duplex penthouse suite.

The brief video tour shows us the suite's bar, sick cityline views, a telescope for your voyeurism fantasies (maybe you could see the people in Thor on the LES?) and of course the 42-inch High Definition LG plasma TV which offers you the optimium Wii-playing field and for some added hipness, is flanked by Warhol prints.

The hotel can outfit your hotel room with these consoles for free and you don't have to be in the Penthouse suite to use them. Although, the extra square footage up there gives you more room to swing a racquet/Wiimote.
