ROBERT RESTAURANT

2 Columbus Circle

New York, NY 10019

212-299-7730

All week George (one of our bellmen) has been raving about Robert Restaurant. It is his new favorite place. It is never too crowded and provides a spectacular view. Wednesday-Saturday there is a live pianist from 8 to 11PM. And, as an added bonus, it is extremely easy to get there from the hostel. All you need to do is take the 1 train (located 2 blocks away from our location) and take it downtown to Columbus Circle. It is just off the train, located right above the Museum of Arts and Design.

No Pants Subway Ride!

This will be the tenth year that the brave and the bold of New York City will dare to go pantless in this organized event. Improv Everywhere's annual No Pants Subway Ride is scheduled for January 9th 2011. Yes, that's tomorrow! Details on how to participate are listed at improveverywhere.com.
