Get Sartorialized at the Maritime New York

Where: 363 W. 16th Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10011

Fancy a breezy spring bike ride around Chelsea? Hop one of the Schwinn Cruisers for rent at The Maritime Hotel, but be sure to dress your best as photoblogger populaire The Sartorialist might be lurking `round the corner.

Last week one such lucky(?) guest found himself posing for the entire blogosphere on one of the rented rides just outside the Maritime entrance at 363 West 16th Street. He should be happy that the silver beach cruiser is so photogenic, because it has the je ne sais quoi needed to push his look into the rare realm of international-chic.

If you find yourself hankering for some of The Sartorialist's treatment, a sure bet is to hang around outside of the Mercer or Gramercy Park Hotel during Fashion Week. Practice assuming an unaffected air for hours straight, and you might just get your 15 seconds of blog stardom until you're archived. At least you'll have finally worn those spats again from last Halloween.
