We really lucked out with our NYC lodging. Our dear friend recommended we stay in the spare room of her dear friend which is listed on air b'n'b. The place is in Dumbo (down under the manhattan bridge) and had everything we could ask for. Indoor swings, check. Hanging flower lights, check. Old piano, check. Even a pit of stuffed animal pandas, how did I forget to photograph this I know! Best of all our hosts (there are three guys living in the loft full time) couldn't be more interesting and were just putting the finishing touches on a big science themed art exhibit / dance party extravaganza which took place in the original pfizer building. They also gave us some great tips about things to do in the city, like Sleep No More...
p.s. here is the panda pit
