We've been posting plenty about The Pod Hotel recently, caught between feelings of benevolence for its stellar (for Manhattan) rates and feelings distrust about its open-or-not-open garden and rooftop bars. Last night we figured it all out during the "Grand Opening" party, which we didn't really understand, since the hotel's already open. Grand opening or not, free open bar, right?

Read on for our party report and photos

We got to the hotel just as things were kicking off, but surprisingly the Manhattan crowd was there on time. After bellying up to the bar for a Jameson and Ginger Ale (don't ask), we snapped a few photos:

A bunk-bed room

After all that grief about whether or not the back garden was open, we can say it is, though it isn't a real bar. The bar we kept annoying with our requests for more booze was a temporary set up--so don't expect to find bottle service here. On the roof, we found the same: BYOB is cool, but that's your only option if you're looking to party upstairs.
