New York Times 'Discovers' The Bowery Hotel
OMG--the cat's out of the bag! The New York Times has discovered The Bowery Hotel. Intrepid reporter Denny Lee checked in to find out what it's like at this completely under-the-radar hotel down on--get this!--New York's old Skid Row. Imagine that!
Ok, ok, after we got past all the faux hype in the review, what did we learn about the property? Not much we didn't already know:
The latest venture from Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson, who created the Maritime Hotel and numerous boîtes, the hotel evokes the Gilded Age of red waistcoats, hand-set bricks and wood-paneled elevators. And the views from the upper floors are positively grand. So what if you might have to step over a few vestigial bums to get there?
Funny, we've been telling you about all this for months. The only bit of news the Times brings to the party is that the restaurant, Gemma, still isn't open. Hmm, just give them six to eight weeks, k?
