Skylounge at Mint Hotel: Now There’s More Than One Tower of London

Mint Hotel-Tower of London opened this past winter. Certainly, a misty February morning done in the true English way sets a stunning backdrop to such iconic city sights as the Tower of London and the Swiss Re building, known more commonly as the “Gherkin.” For a city shutdown, a band of heavy snow also suits said landmark well. But now that the Mint Hotel’s location in Old Blighty has seen a few months of warm weather, Skylounge, located on the hotel’s 12th floor, has gotten due attention, …More

After Hours – Chicago Style

  Martin Scorcese’s 1984 film, “After Hours,” tells the story of Paul Hackett, a man trapped in a Kafkaesque struggle against the absurd horrors of a late night in 1980s SoHo. If there were any lesson to draw from the movie, it’s that a night on the town is fine as long as you have enough cash for the ride home.
