After serving four months for robbing a $275,000 Picasso off the walls of a San Francisco art gallery, Lugo now has been caught stealing yet more art out of two Manhattan hotels: the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Carlyle+New+York/local/627">Carlyle</a> and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Chambers+Hotel/local/1600">Chambers</a>. Throwing caution to the wind, Lugo apparently walked straight out of the buildings with the artworks in handand in broad daylight, according to District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. When police finally tracked him down at his house, they turned up nineteen total pieces, including another Picasso. What we wanna know is, what were those hotel doormen up to when all this was happening? Walking into a

But how could we order this lunch when there was no wait staff? Ah hawe should have known that they were being trained at that very moment for the opening of the hotel's new restaurant, Ma Peche.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/breslinplans.jpg" class="top"> Oh, how we love autumn in New York, especially in the hotels of New York as their top-notch restaurants turn over the menus to prepare for savory seasonal specials and, in some cases, even turn over their restaurants. Top on the list of hotel eateries due to open this fall are <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Ace+Hotel+New+York/local/1313">The Ace Hotel</a>'s Breslin and a renovation of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Chambers/ian/194680">The Chambers</a>' old Town restaurant into a Midtown branch from the NY foodie masters behind Momofuku's few places. First up will most likely be The Breslin, the name coming from the previous moniker of The Ace's building. It was originally slated to open in July, but we're giving Ace Hotels a wide berth on everything now
