RESTAURANT REVIEW: HUDSON HOTEL * * * 1/2 (3 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
I just got taken out to lunch at the Hudson Hotel with Jessica D., by her friend Walid. That place is fantastic, enjoyable as much for the crazy-beautiful decor as for the food. It's pricey, but they have a $22 lunch special, which includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert, so come hungry! Also, see if you can get into the bar for a look-see. It's supposed to be for hotel guests only, but I managed to slip in a couple months ago with no problems. My friend knew how to get there exactly, which is probably important, since you don't want to ask for directions. But I suppose you could say you're meeting a hotel guest there, and get in that way. Don't say "I'm meeting a hotel guest". Say "I'm meeting my friend Robin; she's staying here," because, you know, that sounds more natural. Now, suppose the person says something like, "You can walk around and try to find her, but you can't stay here without a hotel guest." That's fine, because what you really want to do is walk around and look at this amazing place; not spend $10 a drink to sit there. Make sure and check out the bathroom!
