"The hotel at the High Line in the Meatpacking District is launching a seasonal pop-up dubbed the Soda Shop that leans into nostalgic diner flavors: popcorn‑flavored soda, frozen Dirty Shirleys (a riff on the buzzy summer 2022 drink), and savory items such as Taylor ham breakfast sandwiches, mini corn dogs, turkey clubs, with banana pudding for dessert. The concept plays into a broader city trend of new wavediners and luncheonettes and is scheduled to open to the public on June 20, according to a spokesperson." - Emma Orlow
"The Standard High Line is a bold architectural statement, embracing brutalism with an eye-popping structure and retro-future interiors." - Mark Fedeli
"An architecturally striking Meatpacking District landmark that straddles the High Line on towering pillars, offering 338 modish rooms with fluted wood details and bold bathrooms; the property is known for its lively public spaces—including a steakhouse, beer garden, taco spot, lobby cocktail lounge, rooftop pool, and nightclub—and a reputation for exhibitionist nightlife and frequent celebrity sightings." - Jennifer Flowers
"The Standard High Line’s rooftop bar, Le Bain, features a dynamic atmosphere, crêperie, plenty of lounge seating, and panoramic views of the Hudson River and city skyline." - Ty Gaskins
"A mainstay of fashion week is etched into its very architecture. The Standard’s Boom (formerly known as Boom Boom Room) has witnessed iconic parties thrown by fashion designers to celebrate their latest collection that blur the lines between revelry and artistic expression. The Standard Grill, nestled below, becomes a refuge for famished fashionistas, offering a culinary symphony of flavors that dances harmoniously with the city's pulse." - Ty Gaskins
