An 8-story building directly across the (very narrow) street from the Holiday Inn has been in the process of being demolished for three months now (Feb '03). Jackhammer-like noises fill the air from 7am until 5 in the evening, Mon-Fri. As a resident of a nearby apartment building, I can assure you that the racket is disturbing, to say the least. With the typical pace of construction in New York, this is likely to continue for many more months. Be forewarned.
Pros: convenience to WallSt
Cons: LOUD during the AM, Dark, Narrow Street
