The hotel above Socialista is about to open HURRAY! The Jane Hotel will open it's doors to hipsters and socilista's alike. Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode (of the Bowery and Maritime fame) claim she's ready to unleash her grittiness to the west village (thought not without a few standard hiccups).
So what if the room are only 50 SQUARE FEET (um is that even possible!?), and you have to share a bathroom with the long term residents; it's got free wi-fi and a flatscreen, and is less than $100 a night. PLUS you'll be right above that un-penetrable door so that you can keep an eye on the line for entry.
