HELL’S KITCHEN, Manhattan (WABC) — The Watson Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen is preparing to welcome families next week after the remaining single migrant men were cleared from the sidewalk in front of the hotel.
Police officers took chainsaws to locks holding many of the migrants’ bikes in an unannounced clearing of the sidewalk outside the hotel on Wednesday night.
It came after the city’s days-long effort to move migrants from outside the Hell’s Kitchen hotel to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook.
Some of the migrants said they’d rather be on the sidewalk, in the cold and snow, than in a shelter in Brooklyn. However, the handful of men that were originally camped out in front of the hotel, were absent as the city moved in.
