The Living Room at The Standard Hotel
848 Washington St. (13th St.), Manhattan
Not to be confused with the, er, Living Room, the Living Room at The Standard Hotel is a somewhat uncomfortable yet crowded bar full of an eclectic mix of the Age Appropriate: tourists who read about the hotel opening but are not guests, men talking about the hilarity of impregnating 26-year-old flings, artists designing on ibooks, and hipster boys who like boys.
Age Appropriates know what we mean when we say many chairs here are stools barely larger than a Sit 'n Spin (see photo exhibit). But the outdoor space will be fantastic in dryer weather, and the drinks are remarkably cheap: $6 beer, $8 wine, $10 cocktails. We'll be back, if only to get up on the Highline.

how can you not love the standard grill.
Hot age a people, great food, always busy, great prices

We have yet to review the Standard Grill. Thanks for the tip!
