After reading descriptions of the hotel project in The New York Post and The New York Times, we're most intrigued by the plans for a rooftop bar (with wooden planks reminiscent of the Brooklyn Bridge), the ground-floor pool, and the street-food-style restaurant.

Says the Post:

“Streets" will offer a variety of improvised Third World delicacies such as pork banh mi and tripe satay, albeit at First World prices.

Condo owners who buy into the adjoining residential building will have access to hotel amenities, although whether or not the pool will be open to non-guests and residents is still being determined.

Rooms should be around $300 a night, according to the developers. In comparison, we found a Standard Queen available at Hotel Le Jolie for tomorrow night for $199 a night.
