Inside: Lafayette House Hotel

After only being able to glimpse at the outside of Eric Goode and Sean McPherson's other and totally super secret hotel just off the Bowery, we have finally been granted access. Well, virtual access. A little birdy directed us to the now live site for the Lafayette House Hotel, which is in a word, slick. How slick you ask? Well, each of the 15 rooms has its own working fireplace, C.O. Bigelow (who?) amenities and 500 thread sheets. That's a lot of mofo threads! Reservations are now being accepted, but only if you send the good folks at LHH an email. We live here, so don't expect us to do it.

The Other Bowery Hotel

Lost in the frenzy over the Bowery Hotel, another Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode hotel has flown way under the radar to become the most sought after reservation in the downtown hotel scene. The 15 room hotel is so stealth that we aren't sure what the name is. A previous guest told us he had the pleasure of staying at the Lafayette House, while it may also be the Blackwell House Hotel. Who knows and who cares! The 15 room hotel, directly next to the fossil known as B Bar, was originally slated to be a private guest house for the friends of MacPherson and Goode. It will now be open to the public. Well, the right kind of public, since we can't find a number anywhere. We did, however, get a snap of the buzzer system, which you can look at below.

As always, we would love some more info, so please feel free to drop us a line.
