So, to match the excitement of the new year, New York's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Cassa+Hotel+and+Residences/local/1663#login"><b>Cassa Hotel & Residences</b></a> is running a pretty nifty Chinese New Year promotion. <p>Guests who "like" Cassa on Facebook (and prove it by showing their computer or smartphone to the Front Desk) will be given a fortune cookie. Which at first sounds like not such a great trade-off.
