Happy New Year, loyal readers!
Here's to hoping 2010 is better than last year. Unless you were one of the fortunate few to have a great '09, let's bet that Ooohh-oohh-chiiiiiild....things are gonna' get easier.
In the spirits of better days ahead, here's a lovely view of New York City from an upper-floor bathroom at the super hip Hotel on Rivington.
May we all get to bathe in the lap of luxury this year. (No, this was not the room I bedded down in.)
After the jump, I've posted links to the mini-vacation I took in a hometown hotel and the places I reviewed in Washington D.C.
