"In October the sleek Walker Hotel Tribeca opened in a landmarked building partly overlooking the increasingly cool Cortlandt Alley, giving the neighborhood a stylish, breezy lobby with a petite bar and midcentury-modern couches that make it a perfect after-art-show hangout. The hotel plans to partner with galleries like lower Manhattan pioneer Artists Space and next-door Kreps for loaned pieces and events. Come cocktail hour, the downstairs cellar bar will offer an appealing speakeasy atmosphere and an inventive drink list devised by veterans of the legendary Milk & Honey."
