Heath Ledger who has lost his good looks faster than Britney Spears lost her kids was there as well as Adrien Grenier, Julianne Moore, Richard Gere and Jason Bateman. But apparently the hotel couldn't handle all the star wattage. <blockquote>In order to clear the way for the slew of celebs, hotel staffers had to shuffle guests like Simon Doonan and Amy Hilfiger, who were there celebrating the Adam Moss-hosted launch of New York magazine's latest biannual fashion

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/nytgemma.jpg">Some big-name reviewers have recently stopped by a couple of big-time New York <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Hotel%20Restaurants">hotel restaurants</a>, and all in all, they're not too impressed. But Gemma, at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Bowery+Hotel/local/220">Bowery Hotel</a> is doing better than Wakiya at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gramercy+Park+Hotel/local/4">Gramercy Park Hotel</a>, it seems. New York Times critic Frank Bruni thought, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/8/14/22111/9599/hotels/Inside+the+Bowery+Hotel%2C+Part+One">like we did</a>, that the gnocchi were great:<blockquote>Among the pasta dishes and main courses, there was plenty to savor. Soft, light gnocchi met a meaty Bolognese, while the rich, salty sauce of pork sausage, tomatoes and cream over one night's special of squiggly strozzapreti was superb.</blockquote>Bruni didn't care too much for the slickness of the place, though, even though varnish and patina are central design elements. It's

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/bed_bhotel.jpg" class="imgborder">HotelChatter has been holed up in the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Bowery+Hotel/local/220">Bowery Hotel</a> and we are mightily impressed. Initially, we were skeptical to book the Bowery Hotel despite a pretty good rate of $375 a night. And yes, it's sad that $375 is a good rate but honestly, we were scouring NYC for reasonable prices and anything under $500 was a steal. (Of course, we're talking about hip boutique hotels.)But back to us being skeptical of the Bowery. Initial reports of the neighborhood as us scared about staying here alone (i.e. nearby methadone clinic, homeless man selling a stereo, etc.) Ulimately we decided we needed a little more danger in our life, so we went ahead and booked it. We even
