What Do You Order From Room Service?
When we posted your hotel check-in rituals, some commented on Twitter and Facebook that ordering room service is the first thing they do when settling in. We're a bit nosy, so we asked a few hoteliers and Food & Beverage folks what y'all are ordering--hoping there would be some...

New York Hotels Want You to (Get Drunk and) Vote
New York's Tribeca Grand Hotel may have the debate parties, but The Muse and the W New York have got the cocktails to guzzle for when John McCain says things like "that one" and Barack Obama shows utter disregard for Tom Brokaw. The Muse has concocted candidate-themed cocktails, such as...

an East Village jewel -
Best bartenders in the city. -
Come on a Tuesday night and leave the bartender, Bianca, a huge tip. She is super sexy! -
My other 5th street go to. This place is a gem and possibly the closest replacement to Mars Bar you can find. -
Maddy hearts Bradley! Tip your bartender! -
241 happy hour every day til 8, and awesome movies on Wednesdays :) -
Tip the bartenders well and you'll always b treated well
-
Also, the two heated pipes against the wall do wonders for your back. It's like a hot tub. -
Wear your jacket and don't fall off your stool.
-
$6 PBR and well bourbon happy hour is appealing. As is the 4am and later lock-in where you can convince the bartenders to put on your iPod.

actually John Ross is mayor of fish bar.
Great location. Great Service. Great place to stay w/ dog
Great service from arrival to departure. I brought along a small dog and their consideration for both of us went way past what I'd expected. Not once did I experience the well-known "New York rudeness" while at the hotel,everyone were friendly and helpful. The hotel-store is amazing and it doesn't hurt that the Bliss spa has a store in the same building and the bathrooms - although on the small side for someone not used to New York small-sized living - were stocked with Bliss products. The large bar area by the reception is very comfortable and a great place to meet before going out to dinner. Location is great,within walking distance to Central Park,5th Ave and everything Manhattan has to offer. I will be back.
