Final Hotel Wrap-Up: Hometown Hip Spot & D.C. Dwellings

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.)

 The Corner King Room with Soaking Tub at the Hotel On Rivington

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.

Smartest & Dumbest Products of the Decade

One list features the iPod, Netflix, the Tesla Roadster, the Blackberry, the Wii and, of course, the Snuggie.

The other list includes Crocs, the Segway, the Pontiac Aztek, Big Mouth Billy Bass and the "foolproof jackass locator" Bluetooth headset.

Can you guess which list is which?

I'm only posting the links to the Inc.com piece here, so you can get photos along with all your sarcastic holiday goodness.

9 of 10 Hotel Dogs Agree, It Was Fun While it Lasted

The Executive King Room at the Hotel Palomar

So, the great experiment as a professional hotel reviewer came to an abrupt end.

Two months, a new record in Patrick J. Sauer employment futility. The reasons are the expected ones, it's the economy, stupid. 

I only made it to three locales: San Francisco, Washington D.C., and one Lower East Side hotel right here in the city, but I reviewed the hell out of those hotels. 

Valuable travel information is provided after the jump. 

The holiday season is the perfect cover for drowning one's sorrows in glee. Too bad it's no longer a business expense.

Can Mark Sanchez Become the Face of Mexican NYC?

Hey everyone, HuffPo has a sports page!

Finally, a reputable online space where I can settle scores, bar bets, and ongoing arguments that have needed settlin' for years. Important unresolved issues like how the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers are the best team in the entire history of organized sports ever. Even better than the 1927 Yankees. Babe Ruth wasn't worthy enough to tape Andrew Toney's ankles. 

While you try and wrap your head around that, here's a piece on the booming (yet strangely underground) Mexican community in New York City and the potential of Mark Sanchez becoming one of their public faces. 

Anything to avert my eyes from the ongoing USC nightmare.

Viva la Sanchez! Viva la Jackson Heights!

The Fish Wants You to Check Out A Few Oyster Hotel Reviews

 

In case you haven't heard, I took a job as a hotel reviewer for the new travel website Oyster.com.

I won't have anything up for a couple of weeks, but in the time being, I thought I would post a few of the best reviews. Whet your appetite for when I blow you away with my thoughts on the Hilton at Fisherman's Wharf.

Meet my new travel companion/best friend, Pablo Picasso. I miss that little fella.
