Like all acts of creation, the work is never really complete, but we're ready to say The Standard, East Village has arrived – all 145 tranquil bedrooms nestled in New York’s East Village. Café Standard is a good idea just about any time of the day. The private gardens will be opening soon (if this dreaded winter ever ends) and of course the latest Downtown culinary staple Narcissa has something on the slow-roaster right this minute, just waiting for you, yes you. So, we'll see you there.
