It’s hard to miss the towering curves and angles of the Standard, surrounded as it is by a relatively low-rise district.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Perched on Cooper Square, you are steps from legendary Bowery venues, St. Marks Place, and the independent boutiques of NoHo.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame skyline and bridge views across curved layouts, accented with subtle retro furnishings and mosaic-tiled bathrooms.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Cuna prepares Mérida-inspired Mexican dishes beside an illuminated bar, and the leafy courtyard hosts dinners beneath hanging lanterns.
How it began
The twenty-one-story undulating glass tower rises directly behind a preserved nineteenth-century brick tenement on Cooper Square.
