The Mercer Hotel, the infamous "Loading and Unloading for The Mercer Hotel only" sign is now gone and was last seen carried in to the hotel like a dead body

Sources reported to me this sign is now gone....   Look at the above link to see the famous sign that even had a police officer tell me "They are allowed to park there!" and guess what?   I think he is um, wrong.  They are not allowed to park there for the extended periods of time they do unless unloading and loading pixie dust is legal!

the infamous sign...the sign that inspired many very "creative" notes imploring the NYPD not to ticket the guests, friends and loved ones -- or just plain rich people above the law as the manger of Michael Rawson, mr. angry, a man of inches calls the NYPD incessantly to have the Veteran Vendors and Artist Vendors, ticketed and arrested.

You see the doormen are also parking valets and they earn money from the space being used as  private parking with valet service and they do not want tickets and magically as if ehem they don't but I can't say the same for vendors.

Note:  If you caught the article in The NY Daily News about Charlie Sheen and his um, habits....the piece was  on fancy hotel and prostitution and how it goes on in every high priced hotel and the management and NYPD look the other way and or the management or staff get a "tip" or kick back for facilitating the deliveries of what ever -- from sex to drugs, etc.  ooops did I write drugs?  What the article left out is the sex workers can be and are men as well as women....oopsie.   The male sex workers are mostly for men, very rarely for women although I am sure they are a some women that pay.
