"The Standard is where we go when we want to overhear conversations that sound like White Lotus dialogue that got cut from the script. One time, in the lobby, we heard a woman recapping a recent luxury retreat that involved psychedelic toad venom (this is actually true). But The Standard is unfortunately a members-only property. So unless you want to drop over $100 on a spa treatment (they tragically don’t offer day passes anymore), your only way in is via the Lido Bayside Grill, The Standard’s waterfront restaurant where the chisme is considerably better than the food." - julia malave, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
