Brooklyn, Queens and Bx – strange places where people are tough and everything is concrete.

“Also, the two bars at the W Hotel on Lex are pretty good.”
Totally packed. Thus the Waldorf (right across the street).
The W hotel really annoys me. It’s so self-consciously hip. Like form is substance. It’s a gen Y trendoid hotel. I stayed in one last week. There was mood lighting and techno in the elevator.

-Staten Island: some rural outpost
