"If your romance isn't 'clicking'..."
In a city full of brand name hotels, the Herald Square Hotel West 31st Street is neither a chain nor a franchise. It is privately owned by Abraham Puchall, a German shepherd breeder who said he senses a psychic link with Life's founding editor, John Ames Mitchell.
"There's some kind of weird connection," Mr. Puchall, 52, said.
Life Magazine, in its heady, early days, was full of social satire and original illustrations — bearing little resemblance to the picture book it became, or to the now-defunct newspaper supplement that followed.
Today, Mr. Puchall's hotel serves as an ode to that early incarnation of Life, which was housed in that very Beaux-Arts building between 1894 and 1936. The walls of the hotel are covered with magazine memorabilia: original artwork by Life illustrators including Charles Dana Gibson, replicas of witty cover drawings, and old advertisements, such as an undated one, boasting escorts to serve as "mourners or pallbearers at fashionable funerals."
The hotel's exterior, altered over the years by construction projects, remains ornate; the interior, while spotless, is more modest — its paint a little faded, and it's tiles mismatched. But what it lacks in coordination, it makes up for in price. Depending on the season, the room rates range from $69 for a small single room with a shared bathroom, to $259 a renovated double room, featuring pillow-top mattresses, private marble bathrooms, and flat-screen televisions — hundreds of dollars less than a room at many city chains. About 40 of the 117 rooms have been renovated in recent years, a hotel manager said.
The architectural duo behind the New York Public Library on West 42nd Street, Carrere & Hastings, designed the building in 1893. In later years, the building would become residential hotel, and then a tourist hotel.
The Puchall family purchased the building in 1970. Since then, Mr. Puchall has been hiring researchers to look into the history of the building, the magazine once housed in it, and that magazine's editor. "We're trying to make it more and more like a museum," he said. One researcher, Nadine Charlsen has been studying the building, and its former tenants for nearly two decades. "Every time I think I'm coming to the end, there's a new connection," she said.

My daughter as Yuri Kochiyama: Yuri Kochiyama was born in 1921 in San Pedro, CA.. She was nisei or an American-born child of Japanese parents. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, her father, who was already in poor health, was detained, denied medicine and died as a result. Soon after that, the rest of her family was rounded up and interned. The US government held 120,000 people with Japanese heritage in camps because of suspicions about their loyalty. Her family stayed there for two years. This early exposure to racial profiling and injustice helped make Kochiyama an activist. Later on following an arrest for civil disobedience in Brooklyn, she introduced herself to Malcolm X and the two became fast friends. She studied with him at his Organization of Afro-American Unity. On the day that Malcolm X was assassinated, she was there. Kochiyama and her signature cat-eye glasses can be seen in the Life magazine photos holding Malcolm X’s head as he lay dying in the Audubon Ballroom. She continued to fight for human rights for all people. She fought for and won reparations for Japanese people who were interned and a formal apology from the US government in the 80s.
