But this being Curbed, they focused on the The Best New Buildings of The Decade for New York City. And wouldn't you know it? <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Standard+NYC/local/795">The Standard Hotel</a> is the #1 best building of the decade. Yes, The Standard. Since we tracked the opening of this hotel pretty much from its inceptions, we're a little surprised to see it top this list. We say it looks way better from the inside looking out then just on its own. But we guess <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/25/92915/5093/hotels/Don_t_Stop_Til_You_Get_Enough_Inside_or_Outside_the_Standard_NYC">naked people in the windows</a> helps.

What happens at 9pm, you ask? Well, a very PYT HotelChatter operative reported back from a boozy evening in the Boom Boom Room that everyone is kicked out at the stroke of nine. This way, the place can be reopened for private and celeb-filled parties at 10pm. This means no late night socializing and snacking and no nightcaps in the Boom Boom's plush environs, even though you are a paying guest of the hotel. Still, our operative managed to capture a few undercover pictures before JetSetCD 2009-11-11T09:33:34-05:00 New York: Finally, Ordering The Humble Pie At NYC's Standard Hotel Grill http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/23/213111/01 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/HumblePie.jpg" class="top"> As you may have noticed over the last year, we've got a serious thing for the newly-opened <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Standard+NYC/local/795">Standard Hotel NYC</a>. We've done everything from <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/7/122925/7785/hotels/Inside_the_Standard_NYC_Winnebago_Chic">sleep there</a> to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/5/131138/7916/hotels/Party_Dispatch_Interview_Magazine_Party_at_The_Standard_NYC">party there</a>, and even <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/6/9/0128/77320/travel/Surfin'+the+High+Line:+Opening+Day+At+NYC's+New+Elevated+Park">walk the High Line</a> below it. But it was last week that we finally got a taste of the Standard when we had lunch at the Standard Grill, which only began serving meals other than dinner back in late August. Now that the cold air has settled into New York and kicked out the fair weather friends and put the staff through the paces, we decided it was time to go and see if the grill really lived up to all the JetSetCD 2009-10-26T09:28:44-05:00 40.7406670 -74.007828 New York: The Standard's Boom Boom Room Will Now Be Called QT (As In The Old Hotel) http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/6/85845/0447 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/boomboomroom2.jpg" class="top"> <a href="">The Standard New York's</a> exclusive 18th floor bar hasn't even officially opened and yet it's already changing its name. Apparently, the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco has sent the club a Cease and Desist letter for using its name (Type in Boom Boom Room in Google and this club comes up first.) While we weren't in love with the name Boom Boom Room (we always started singing the song, "Boom, Boom let's go back to my room so we can do it all night and you can make me feel right" whenever we heard it), we like QT even less. <a href="http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/good-night-mr-lewis-no-more-boom-in-the-room/11422">BlackBook</a> has the scoop on what QT stands for (on the Quiet) but to juliana 2009-10-06T09:21:07-05:00 40.7406670 -74.007828 New York: Rachel Zoe Switches Her New York Hotel Loyalty http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/9/30/15014/8690 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/RZoeStandard.jpg" class="top"> Alright, we'll admit it: we are totally addicted to the Bravo Show The Rachel Zoe Project, which follows top Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe through runway shows in New York, award show fittings in LA, and everywhere in between. In the first season, Rachel famously occupied the penthouse at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/60+Thompson/local/15">60 Thompson</a> hotel in the Soho neighborhood of New York City. When the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Thompson+LES/local/31">Thompson LES</a> opened, we knew that it was only a matter of time before Rachel Zoe was calling it "bananas" and making it her new headquartersas she did in the second season during New York Fashion Week.
