The Northwest’s premiere budget boutique hotel - The Ace - will soon have new digs on the east coast. In line with Ace properties in Seattle and Portland, many of the NY rooms will feature shared hallway bathrooms – but at least you’ll have you’re very own in-room turntable. Not kidding.

At least we had one night to hang out with Raina when she came to visit from Amsterdam. We had dinner at Hasir and then met Pash at Crackers, for a night of secret disco dancing. I guess this is a monthly spinoff of the ever-popular Cookies night. The party hadn’t really gotten started when [...]
