Hepcat and I wandered onto the grounds of the new Hotel Le Bleu on Fourth Avenue. A security guard named Wiley came out and in a very friendly way asked us what we were doing there.

He told us that the 48-room hotel will be open in a few days. He said it will be very nice and that the rooms are large. And there’s a restaurant and bar, too, He told us that the hotel is owned by a man from India. 

But boy is it pricey. It has nightly rates from $280.00 to $359.00.

I don’t envy Wiley sitting in that dark hotel all night on security duty. Hepcat took a great picture of the hotel. Maybe he’ll run it today.

Here’s a description of the hotel, which has a great view of the new apartment building on Fourth Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets. You may even be able to see MS 51 in the distance.
