Another New Hotel Coming to 39th street.

 

After a one month hiatus taking care of some personal stuff we are back blogging. In what used to be the old Kings Construction Materials location on 39th street between 8th and 9th Avenue, I can say after speaking to the new owner that a hotel is slated to come to that location. It seems that the KINGS HOTEL located right across the street is about to get some competition.  Now whether this is some disinformation by the new owner remains to be seen. The current location is undergoing demolition to make way for new construction. We will have to see how long the process will take. The location is ideal only a half block away from the 9th Avenue D station and only a half hour to midtown Manhattan. Does Sunset Park need a new hotel? Considering that all the other hotels in the neighborhood are doing brisk business and turning a profit, it appears there is room for one more.

 

Update 8-10-2014: For further reading Sunset Park gets new 88 room hotel.

New Sunset Park Hotel on 39th street doing quite well.

 

A new hotel that has been opened a little more than a month on 39th street appears to be doing quite well. It is the latest addition to the flurry of hotel building that has made Sunset Park the center of the hotel industry in Brooklyn.

 

Considering the miserable economy it is a miracle that they kept it as a hotel at all. The flip side is that because everyone is trying to save money Sunset Park hotels are benefiting from those who would rather have that extra 30 minutes from midtown that a Sunset Park hotel can afford them. The hotel is ideally situated from the  36th street subway station where you can catch the D,N,R trains. The D train is a mere 25 minutes from midtown on a good day during rush hour. Time will tell if Sunset park continues to survive the economic depression that we are in. We seem to be doing a bit better than our neighbors and I suspect that may have more to do with the local culture than the fact the hotels appear to be booked well in advance and are bringing outside money into the hood.

We're back

It's as good a time as any to return to the fold.My last post was last September and then it got busy in my life. The period was also punctuated with severe colds. It was either different variations of viruses or one heck of a long cold. In any case, just as well. My mind really wasn't into too many things. We might as well start the New Year right.

Of course we in Sunset Park were part of the snow removal fiasco. I suppose there will be investigations and the blame will fall somewhere. It's good to know we were not ignored. Even if it was by union thugs and our lousy mayor. The consolation is that Sunset Park survived the bad economy and we can give thanks that we haven't collapsed. Even during the great depression people were working and making a living.


We have a new Hotel which appeared 6 weeks ago on the corner of  26th and 4th avenue. We are becoming the Hotel center of Brooklyn and with that comes more visitors hopefully with cash. Now that I feel much better I will be out and about. But the Flu season isn't over, so we hope there are no other strange viruses that will put me under the weather.
