The Barry Hotel is ready to change hands. Owner Shoshana Goldstien and her real estate agent are confirming there is a deal in place for April 1st, but are not giving any details.  Goldstien goes as far as to say a down payment has been handed over, but maintains the sale can still collapse. In an earlier conversation Goldstien said she and L and L holdings Larry Bozek are close to an agreement.  She believes he has applied for mortgage for the 20th street hotel. Bozek applied for the license back in January and is still waiting for a public hearing. He also refused to comment. Bozek wants to rename the Barry the Lorje Place Hotel.
