Found a cool link today with pictures of New York City tourists. I love the various looks and snapshot of world humanity as focused throught the NYC tourism lens. I’ve wanted to do this for awhile with all the really interesting folk that come through The Center. Unfortunately the most interesting would like not enjoy my desire to share their mini-world with the public. We’ll see. In the meantime, enjoy this link (via Gawker).

The Point – Again, Most Expensive
August 8th, 2006 · No Comments · News
Update Again: The Point Resort is back open for business.
Update: Hi all you PBS watching Adirondack Fans! Just so ya know, The Point was sold.
The Point was again mentioned as one of the world’s most luxurious and costly hotels. Anyone else, sick of hearing this? In all reality, for 99% of the existing world, this place doesn’t even exist. I’m not proud though, you can still donate to my Camp Fund (sidebar).
The Point, a Relais & Chateaux property in the Adirondacks that was once a Rockefeller Great Camp, has just 11 rooms, each with lake views and a chiseled-stone fireplace. Included in the room rate, which starts at $1,250 a night and puts it on our list of the priciest hotels, are activities such as fishing, horseback riding and golfing. All meals and alcoholic beverages are covered; guests fill out a dining survey weeks in advance of their stay to ensure that their desires are catered to.
