The naked truth about the Standard Hotel originally broke on Curbed in early July, and now it's made it all the way to the desk of Brian Williams after getting daily coverage in the New York papers this week.
The NY Post looks for a new spin on Day Three of their coverage, now finding out that hotel staffers are also giving High Line visitors a show! One bellhop told them, "We don't discourage it. In actual fact, we encourage it. One of the managers even got naked in a room, and filmed it—they were considering a live feed for the Web site." Such shenanigans were encouraged amongst the staff in order to generate buzz... and buzz they've received. Earlier this week, even City Council Speaker Christine Quinn asked them to tone it down.
While management declared they were sensitive to prudish neighborhood concerns, when the Post sent undercover reporters there yesterday, the woman who checked them in declared, "Do what you want. Just enjoy it!" Adding, "It would be illegal for anyone to take your picture through the window." Don't worry, shutterbugs, it's not illegal—so send us your pics already!

Quote of the week
Awww. Ides made a funny!
Strange to see this on the evening news. I thought it was more a gothamist thing. I bet there will be more people doing porn movies in that hotel now.
Yeah! Send the pictures come on people!
I bet you anything its this asshole: http://www.purple-diary.com/
shitty photos.
I really don't know how I feel about this... On the one hand, there's the whole "we watch so much violence but we are afraid of our own naked bodies" argument... but on the other, I don't want to see fornicating exhibitionists while in a park.
I am very conflicted.
How about on the subway?
All of this reminds me of the old days when exhibitionists hang out on the rotten piers and truck depots that used to line the West Side Highway. This before they built all of these fancy parks. Some things never really change.
Uhoh Quinn is quoted. T-minus 10 minutes until Felix wakes up and develops another case of protein-deficient rage against her.
The standard has officially gone to the top of most people's "places to fuck before i die" lists.
Gothamist should do a survey on what percentage of post'rs, here, were, has been or are Stuyvesant geeks.
Years ago, New York City was synonymous with sophistication. Now it's about as sophisticated as a frat house!
"Ettiquette queen Samantha Von Sperling"? All I saw was a goofy fat bitch waving a japanese fan.
I would much rather prefer that Americans stick to their traditional moral values; like masturbating in your closets while you choke yourselves.
This is not classy - and it's kind of pathetic how desperate some people are for attention ... sad.
