Splitsville

Hats off to the Marmara Manhattan hotel for one of the more innovative specials I've ever seen. They are offering the Suddenly Splitsville package to those that find themselves out on the street after the significant other found out about that little dalliance with a co-worker. Add this one to the evil genius category.

For the lowly sum (well lowly only in Manhattan anyway) of $7000 per month you can rent a fully furnished one bedroom suite and they'll throw in a host of other goodies:

A one-year subscription to Divorce Magazine

A pint of Haagen Daz ice cream

A bottle of Champagne

A complimentary pass to the 92nd Street Y 

A complimentary copy of "Confessions Of An Online Dating Addict"

A one-hour consultation with a real estate agent to start searching for a new place to live

First - only a pint? And Haagen Daz? Really? Your marriage just ended, you're paying $233 a night for a room and all you get is a pint? Sheesh!

Second, Divorce magazine and again - really? .

I might question the timing of the release of this offer as several articles I've seen recently contend that in an economic crisis like the present, the likelihood for divorce declines. Especially if you're going to have to pay seven thousand smackeroos for a room for a month. Apparently forgiving and forgetting has a price tag.
