Mischa, Model, and a Project Runway Winner Spotted at The Cooper Square

Our favorite celebrity sightings aren't recycled tidbits from TMZ, Perez Hilton, or the like, but those that come from our extended HotelChatter family. Whilst catching up with a fashionable New York woman-about-town earlier today, we were treated to a firsthand account of recent high-profile encounters, all taking place at Manhattan's Cooper Square Hotel.

Cooper Square Hotel Not Until Summer

In all the hype about DeNiro's Greenwich Hotel and the transformation of the Hotel Riverview we had completely forgotten about another NYC hotel that's supposed to open soon, the Cooper Square Hotel.
The NY Times reported the other week that the hotel won't open until Summer. Previously, we had heard an April/May opening. Yet the delay is not too surprising to us since the development and construction of this hotel has had more drama than an episode of The O.C.
Meanwhile, the East Village Podcast has continued to poll readers on whether or not the Cooper Square Hotel looks like an enormous vibrator. So far 56 percent says yes but there's only been 18 votes so get in there and tell 'em what you think.
