If you've got writers block, skip the Hotel Chelsea and go straight to the Algonquin. If you stay here at the Chelsea, the block will probably get worse, since the "Do Not Disturb" sign will put a lot of extra pressure on you. (It says: Do Not Disturb. I'm Writing The Next Great American Novel.)
The Algonquin, New York's other historic literary hotel -- home to the Round Table of the '20s and host to guests such as Dorothy Parker, E.B. White, James Thurber, John Updike, and William Faulkner -- offers a "writer's rate" to anyone claiming writer's block. The deal is a $20 discount on a classic room, when available, Sunday through Thursday. (via Newyorkology)
