If I decide to stay at the Standard Hotel, is it true that people will be able to see everything I do? I heard hotel guests can be spotted from the high line.

In recent days, Standard Hotel's guests have been spotted having intercourse, toweling off, and pleasuring themselves - all to the viewing wonderment of tourists and New Yorkers strolling the High Line.
This sort of voyeurism is part and parcel of living in a metropolis: if you have windows in New York, somebody is looking in. It's best to take that as a given and go from there in terms of what you want your neighbors to see, and what you don't. The cinema on 42nd St at 8th Ave is opposite a girls' dorm building, and pervs have been known to buy movie tickets just to sit at the second-floor bay window and wait for something- anything- to happen across the street.
