Formerly just known as THOR, and no good for anything beyond drinks and continental breakfast, the restaurant is hoping to breathe life back into its stale spot in the otherwise-happening neighborhood of NYC's Lower East Side.

In December, the hotel's spiffy staff began sporting DC shoes, leading off with the low, black leather Sector 7s to compliment the Ted Baker uniforms. Nonetheless, shoes wear down and so spring sees replacements in the form of the DC LIFE dress sneaker in a fresh red colorway intended to match the scarlet carpeting of the hotel's dramatic entrance. Again, the kicks come from a collection of DC styles that "features models, constructions, and materials found nowhere else in the DC line and is offered exclusively
