Daily News list NY's other historic hotels

Here's something for the history buffs, curiosity seekers, or folks who wish to, uhh,  make the same mistakes at the same venues as the famous.

These are the top five New York City hotels used for illicit purposes, according to the New York Daily News:

  • Four Seasons: Alex Rodriguez courted prostitutes here while still married to Cynthia, alleges Manhattan madam Kristin Davis.
  • Days Inn: Gov. David Paterson went the budget route at this $150-a-night hotel during his three years of adultery—then took his wife there during their marriage counseling.
  • The Lowell Hotel: Bernie Madoff brought Sheryl Weinstein here for their first date, she claims in her tell-all book.
  • Loews Hotel-Regency: Rielle Hunter first met future lover John Edwards in the lobby of this hotel, which is also known for hosting Frank Gifford’s cheating on Kathie Lee.
  • The Carlyle Hotel: John F. Kennedy kept an apartment here, where he supposedly romanced Marilyn Monroe—who used a service entrance and underground tunnels to stay discreet.
