This is the living room of the Arthouse, a bed and breakfast where I stay whenever I’m in New York (unless they are booked up).  They do no advertising and let their rooms out only to artists that have been personally introduced through friends.  So it’s a bit exclusive, I guess…  There are five rooms of various sizes, and 2.5 baths that the guests share.

Every morning, breakfast is included, and one typically finds guests from overseas, often from Germany or nearby central European countries, Spain, Mexico, or other countries in South America.  Sometimes the guests are so interesting, you hardly need to see the rest of the city.  I stay there once or twice a month, because I have a part-time job driving a coach bus to and from NYC from Charlottesville.  I always bring my bicycle.
