THOR — Life's A Blog
Update 11/20
love Modern boutique hotels, so we decided to vacation at home at the new THOR (The Hotel On Rivington), the Lower East Side hotel that's one of the hottest places in the blogosphere (look here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here — and those were just the ones I found in a minute or so).The hotel's under construction, with only half the floors open, and the lobby unheated when it's 38 degrees outside.

It's fun to see the photos from the outside. I walked by late one night and found the ground floor to be uninviting. But it looks cozy on the inside (in the rooms that are built, anyway!)
