The One Where Claire Goes to NY

As evidenced by my last post, I spent part of last week in New York.  


Drawbacks:  1. It was for work  2. It rained  3. I look like a country bumpkin every time I go there. 


Totally Cool Parts: 1. I got a window seat  2. I got to eat some fancy foods  3. I stayed in a pretty amazing hotel.


Let's explore, shall we....


We stayed at The Standard, and I can assure you, I was definitely not hip enough to even sleep there.


The place did not skimp on attention to detail.  My bed was straight outta Ikea.

Showering in complete, 100% privacy transparency

 You could essentially shower and look out at the city skyline.

This was my view while laying in bed. 

I think maybe someone important flew by in helicopter formation, but I'm totally too lazy to Google it.

The hotel from the outside:  Apparently people take improper advantage of the floor-to-ceiling windows to put on a little nighttime show...

Elevator lobby:

Once the clouds parted, I could see the Statue of Liberty.  From my bed.  

French benefits of my job, I tell ya.
