Ah see that there? Summer Listening Series. S-L-S. Clever, no? The outdoor event, held on the hotel's Garden Terrace, featured an intimate acoustic set from Starr--literally it was just him, an amp, a mike and his guitar. Guests watched the set from the pew-like seating in the center and from cocktail tables scattered on the sides and at the back of the terrace. Drinks and complimentary treats from Jose Andres' Bazaar restaurant were served and goodies like peanut butter pretzels,
