Nothing concerning Catalonia or any recent event. If you are ever looking for a cheap place to stay in New York City try Dexter House on W 86th Street. It's old and the bathrooms would need some reformation but everything is clean, the rooms have a sink, a fridge, a microwave, a TV, and AC. The atmosphere is that of a student dorm. It's even cheaper than a youth hostel and a lot quieter. There's a metro station two blocks away, i.e. on upper Broadway as well as supermarkets and pizza places. I stayed there in March 2010 and really liked it. Reservations can be made via budgetplaces.com.
