hello all. i beg your indulgence in this totally non-bfish related mail. but i'd like to hear from anyone who might know of or would like to recommend affordable (very very) hostels/hotels in ny city in the first week of july for a non-salinger related trip. i'm planning a trip and don't seem to be getting anywhere with those listed web-wise. someone mentioned vanderbilt something or another, but i can't seem to track this place down. anyone knows where that might be? kindly contact me off-list at email: jackbing@pacific.net.sg if you have any suggestions. thank you for your patience and i look forward to hearing from anybody. and without bothering to qualify myself, no, i don't think franny is/was pregnant...then again, i last read it quite a while back so.... ching singapore
