The Crosby Street Hotel Will Now Open on October 5th

Where: 79 Crosby Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10012

We are so close, people. We are almost inside: can you feel the excitement? We're talking, of course, about one of the most anticipated New York hotel openings of the year: The Crosby Street Hotel. In case you haven't been following our coverage of the first Firmdale property in the U.S., the story so far is this: when it was first announced, the hotel was to open at the end of 2008.

Then it became March 2009. Then September. Then September 29. But that was earlier this week, and the hotel broke our hearts by making us wait even more. (The delay, apparently, due to an electrical problem.)

But today, a source tells us that the hotel will be "fully operational" on October 5 and we couldn't be happier. What better way to make a sucky Monday totally awesome instead! Join us, will you, in crossing your fingers and your toes that no more hiccups occur before then.
