IT’S another tick to add to your traveling bucket list, one you probably haven’t thought of: Sleeping in a taxi (excluding being passed out after a night on the town, that is). A New York City fun fact is that it’s perfectly legal to sleep in a vehicle on city streets. The brains behind this venture is Jonathan Powley, who owns seven taxis and vans in Queens that are kitted out to be your bed for between $20 and $70 a night. Don’t let the fact that your accommodations don’t have a toilet deter you; he’s made arrangements with nearby businesses to allow his customers to use their bathrooms. Would you do this?
