A swank midtown Manhattan hotel will be home to hundreds of migrant families, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday, announcing that the Row NYC is being turned into the latest “humanitarian relief center” to grapple with an influx of asylum seekers in the city.
The four-star Row NYC hotel — located in pricey Times Square and formerly the iconic Milford Plaza — will initially house 200 migrant families and will have the ability to take on even more in the coming weeks, Adams said.
The $400-a-night hotel — once billed as being “in the center of it all” — has more than 1,000 rooms and is located in the same district as PS 33, the public school in Chelsea that parents told The Post is already overburdened by the sudden influx of migrant students who can’t speak English.
