Can you believe the rooms in this hotel? Incredible. Too fashionable to believe, right? The Standard, one of the hottest hotels in LA, recently opened in NYC in -- where else? The Uber-fashionable Meatpacking District. Of course. If you find yourself on the West Side anytime soon, check out this hotel and its outdoor cafes and restaurants. And while you're at it, take a walk along the new High Line. It's attached to The Standard. Talk about a great location. If you want a tony spot to people-watch, try the very newly-opened Standard Grill which has ample outdoor patio space, serves a bistro-like American menu, and is located under the High Line.

Hey, I found some cool new tunes that are a perfect soundtrack for Blogging/Twittering/shopping online. Check out The Standard's soundtrack. It's free. And definitely decent.

Steps lead from The Standard right up to the new High Line at Gansevoort Street.
Check out the map of the High Line here.

Here's what you'll see of The Standard after you climb the stairs.
Very un-New York, right? The building is very LA or Miami in the 60s.
