WHEELCHAIRS = FREEDOM, NOT LIMITATION
The Carna, on display at MOMA, is
colorful & has high–tech style.
Since it had to be light and easy to
carry, an improvement over most collapsible wheelchairs, Kawasaki used a
titanium frame, with aluminum honeycomb–core wheels and rubber seat and tires.

Central Park, a cool oasis in a heat
wave, is 8 short city blocks north.
I also walked to Grand Central Station
and took photos of the nearby Chrysler Building.
The AC worked great in stifling hot
weather.
And the shower water was plenty warm
for washing off the sweat from a long day of urban exploring.

The lobby is tiny, but the staff was
great about running up an extra bed sheet, some plastic cutlery for in room
dining, etc.
The MET and other classic galleries on
Museum Mile are walking distance or 20 minutes via train/bus.
Even in the heat, I was close enough
to walk to a pair of dramas in the Theater District.

The bed was super comfy.
The room has all kinds of surfaces by
the desk and bed -- perfect for your laptop, in room eating, noise machine and
bottle of water next to the bed.
The room has a microwave (perfect for
warming that leftover bagel or NYC pizza slice) and a mini fridge upon request.

Next to Rockefeller Center, it is near
every great subway and transit option in the city.
Under the Rock provides nearby
breakfast, lunch and dinner options.
MOMA and 5th Avenue shopping are very
close by.
