Artsy meets fun at The Standard, East Village, where you’ll find floor-to-ceiling windows; plush, made-for-Instagram lip-shaped pillows; and a restaurant pouring murky biodynamic wine. Formerly the Cooper Square Hotel, the 21-story boutique hotel has it all: cozy bathrobes, high-tech speakers and TVs, the option to check out whenever, a restaurant that locals clamour to get into, a gay bar that hosts drag events, and a quaint courtyard garden. Okay, the one thing it doesn’t have is spacious rooms. Or a pool. But you’re in lower Manhattan, be reasonable.
Located off Cooper Square in one of New York’s most vibrant, artistic neighborhoods, The Standard, East Village is cozy, charming, and eccentric in equal measure—very much in the spirit of its surroundings. You enter the 21-story tower through an original tenement-style building before ascending to unparalleled views of Manhattan. There’s a quiet, calm garden tucked away at street level, the bustling, all-day street-side Café Standard with an indoor mushroom farm, and NO BAR, an inclusive bar open for weekend drinks, DJs, special events and more. In between your urban escapades, squeeze in a sweat sesh with a complimentary guest pass to Crunch Fitness – Bowery.
