Artist Angie Kang prepares a boat for guests to use at the Boatel in New York. The Boatel, an artist-run hotel built out of more than a dozen discarded boats at Marina 59 in Far Rockaway, offers a sanctuary from nearby John F Kennedy International Airport and the buzz of New York City.
Since opening last year, the hotel has been booked most weekends in the summer. A one-night stay costs $55 to $100, and profits go to support a small but thriving art community.
