Staying at The Standard, NYC - it is pretty new and is built above the Highline (an abandoned above-ground train line being turned into an awesome public park) in the Meatpacking District, which has awesome shops and restaurants and great cobblestone streets.
We have a fairly tiny - but very cool - room, with a glass wall giving great views over NYC (the Highline, the Meatpacking District and the Hudson River).
Had a few drinks last night (Tuesday night) in the Beer Garden -the hot NYC bar at present. Amazing / bizarre drinks (my drink of choice for the evening comprised rye, a raw sugar cube, a lemon twist and absinthe bitters), a full-on summer electrical storm, a fun conversation with a songwriter and lifelong New Yorker with whom we shared a table.
