Cosmo reopening information

No secret pizza though.

Not bad other then better not get hungry late at night with everything closing at 10pm other than the Henry until 2.

I guess without the late night party crowd they expect to be pretty slow late at night.

 

Someone on Instagram asked about Secret Pizza it will be open.

 

I had this listed in my offers with me being lowly velvet now

 

I agree that it's a pretty solid selection overall. I'd be able to live with what will be open and wouldn't really miss what won't be (except for the Va Bene pastries which are friggin delicious... though I always get my coffee at Starbucks first).

Rose. Rabbit. Lie. (expensive to operate), Wicked Spoon (for obvious reasons), and Va Bene all closed as well--meaning no dining in the Chelsea Tower. The Barbershop closed as well.

The Momofuku group has been closing restaurants. I'd be surprised if they reopened in the near term. I'd also be questioning if they'll reopen at all.

I loved the comment... "I looked at the link and it doesn't appear you are reopening Secret Pizza..."

If they mentioned it, then it wouldn't be a SECRET! Come on people. lol

 

I think I saw somewhere that they were only opening the Boulevard tower at first. Not sure

 

No loss if Momofuku doesn’t reopen. IMHO, having been to several of his restaurants in NY, TO and LV, let’s just say that I appreciate Chang giving Tosi her start.
He’s still supposed to open a Noodle Bar in Vancouver but I suspect it will flop; it’s a crazy competitive ramen town.

 

I just spoke with a reservation rep tonight, and asked that specific question. He said both towers will be open, but not all rooms.
Course he coulda been talking out of his ass... I'm sure we will find out soon enough!

 

The issue I see with opening only the boulevard tower is it doesn't have enough elevators, and keeping people separated will be very difficult in the little hallway. I'd hope they use both towers to keep the traffic spread out. Not that they asked me for my opinion.

 

100% true. The elevators are always a hot mess and way more crowded in Boulevard Tower though the location (usually) makes up for that.

 

Yeah it makes more sense to keep both towers open just at lower occupancy for elevator purposes. Plus from what I understand the room cleaning process will take longer so it’s most likely that a room that someone checks out of won’t be occupied for the next 24 hours, meaning not all rooms will be available each night.

 

My host told me last week that only Boulevard would be open. But, I think the situation is fluid....Maybe more demand than they thought? I am thinking the Girls' Trip from June 8th -12th is on at Cosmo . Instead of the the six, there are only two. I think that makes for a great trip report title, "And then there were two.." Super excited.

 

I just received an email from my host. They are opening select floors of the Chelsea to accommodate two bed requests, as there are no queens in the Boulevard. My bestie and I are not fans of sharing a bed and it looks like we won't have to now!

 

@Anna T. if that changes, the rollaway beds are super comfortable.

 

Thanks @claired67..good to know...I did take your advice...premium daybed booked!

 

@Anna T. that’s awesome. perfect for 2-can’t wait to hear about it. I think I’ll reserve one for my August trip today.
