This week's Time Out New York is full of chirpy advice about crime-themed "staycations," where one can exult in the city's summertime calm by seeking out locales famous for scandal, pain, suffering, and/or death. For example:

Check into Hotel Chelsea (222 W 23rd St -between Seventh and Eighth Aves, 212-243-3700); see if they'll give you room 100, where Sid Vicious offed Nancy Spungen in 1978.

There's a slight problem, however, as noted by the Living with Legends blog:

Some guests still request Room 100, "strangely enough," says longtime managing director Stanley Bard. It isn't available, however, because the room became part of a larger suite in a renovation 20 or so years ago.

Guess you could always just go bother Ethan Hawke.
