M.I.A. goes on a tirade against New York Times

12 01 2010

M.I.A. has gone out on the attack on Twitter against the New York Times to make Sri Lanka the #1 destination to visit in 2010. The New York Times releases it’s annual article on tourism for 2010 and listed Sri Lanka on the top spot. M.I.A. went on a tirade criticizing this decision and posting graphic pictures of death and torture of Tamil civilians. Click below to read the Twitter rant. We previously agreed with the Sri Lanka choice on the blog, because we remember how lovely it was, but we can understand where she is coming from.

Hotel: Hotel On Rivington

23 09 2008

 

 

  • Hotel: Hotel On Rivington
  • Location: Manhattan, New York
  • Style: Urbanite Chic
  • Sexy Factor: Trendy, lively and young.
  • When to go: Year-round

 

 

My experience: Seriously, out of all the times I have stayed in New York City this has to be the best hotel I have been in. Although I have stayed in a myriad of modern hotels and some gaudy ones, but this takes the crown. Located in the hip Lower East Side, it is tucked away from the tourist bonanza in a gayborhood that is fast becoming New York’s trendiest with boutique shops popping up everywhere and a high ratio of young New York. The service in the hotel is opulent and the staff are ready to help. The mini-bar has more alcohol in it than Karen Walker’s home and the ground floor is always full with New York’s finest freaks. What else would you want?
