Night, black and white all over
This is an interesting hotel, Goth-inspired, they call it. It's ultra modern, everything is black and white, and sleek. The price is Manhattan price, expensive, but at least the room isn't tiny, it's not large either. Don't expect a suite if you didn't pay for it, we had a regular room with queen size bed, at least you have room to put your small suitcase and turn around.
One of the things different about this hotel is what you find in the drawer of the nightstand, no, not a bible, can you guess? an interpreted excerpt of Kama Sutra, I kid you not.
However, the room is pretty well designed. There were many power outlets for all the chargers and appliances you need, the bedside lights were good for reading and have dimmers. The decor is definitely different and interesting. Nice opaque curtains good for sleeping in.
The closet is small and taken up by the small refrigerator, strange place for it I think.
The location on 45th street between 6th and Broadway is convenient and close to Time Square. I would recommend this hotel for people looking for something different from the name brand chain hotels in the Big Apple. Its gallery of black and white photos on the walls are also interesting to look at.

Great food at Jojo
On the upper east side of Manhattan, this is a great little restaurant which offers special promotions at a great price. Unfortunately we did not go there at the right hour for the prix fix menu which would have been a great value. Check out their web site for the times of the specials.
The food was excellent, and we were almost speechless eating our dinner, every course was delicious.
We went there based on recommendations from a friend, and we were so glad we went. Now we would highly recommend it to all who enjoy great food.
