Well, judging from how many of them it takes to babysit him while he eats dinner, we're guessing: a lot.

The Biebs was spotted at New York's Dream Downtown on Saturday night, dining at Marble Lane with his pal Usher. According to Page Six, the pair stopped in for a late dinner, and were taken to a corner booth of the ground-floor restaurant. Surrounding them throughout the entire meal were four bodyguards, plus an extra "lookout guy" to make sure no one came close enough to swipe their bread sticks.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/RomeraDreamDowntown.jpg" class="top">Romera is located in the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Dream+Downtown/local/4718">Dream Downtown</a>'s basement, and its chef Miguel Sanchez Romera, is a former neurologist who decided to show the world how he thought molecular gastronomy should be done. But judging from Pete Wells' recent review for the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/18/dining/reviews/romera-new-york-nyc-review.html?pagewanted=2">New York Times</a>, the various tasting menus, (6-course, $125 ; 9-course, $185; 12-course, $245) sound more like a tutorial in how to make very pretty food art. Disappointingand kind of ironicfor the Dream Downtown, which until now had proven to be an <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/12/23/02741/951/hotels/">exceptionally pretty</a> addition to the NYC hotel scene. A "Romerian mosaic" (the pattern of brightly colored spices and powdered vegetables seen above, and on many of the dishes) would be great to

New York: Well, At Least Lindsay Lohan Can Always Get a Free Room at a Dream Hotel

juliana — 2011-09-21T10:38:39-05:00

Ladies, dating the club promoter for the hottest club in town is sooo last decade. The new dating up trend is now hoteliers, or so Lindsay Lohan thinks.

We've long suspected that Lohan has been ~~using~~ dating the Dream Downtown's hotelier, Vikram Chatwal, but now it looks like The Superficial has the proof.

The gossip site posted a series of photos of Lohan and Vik inside Vik's apartment in Soho doing whatever it is two people like Lohan and Vik do. Apparently, these shots were taken before Lohan's disastrous attempt to get into some Fashion Week parties at the Dream Hotel.
