NYC lawmakers are pushing to legalize youth hostels, which were made illegal under a 2010 state law. However, some hostels operate classified as hotels on the city books. Pictured is HI NYC hostel at 891 Amsterdam Ave. on Nov. 23, 2015. Credit: Jeremy Bales
The news story “Push to legalize hostels” [Nov. 30] raises an interesting issue. Hostels are a great, easy way to help young people travel, and staying in a hostel is good way to interact with others of different interests.
