Given its current raw state, we didn't think that Jason Pomeranc's Thompson Hotel on Allen Street would have a model unit set up yet. But lo and behold, the picture above arrived in an email marked "Model Unit @ 190 Allen St." A quick glance at the website of still-employed decorator Dodd Mitchell shows similar photos. So what to make of this? Well, you know how local news affiliates always do those sweeps-week investigative reports where they take a black light to a hotel bed? Let's hope they avoid this building at all costs. It looks like the Beaver is not the only new pleasure palace in town.
